Yes, GTA 6 can be shared on PS5 through Console Sharing and Offline Play, including the boxed edition, according to Sony's support guide as reported by VICE.

One copy of GTA 6 for two players on PS5 is possible: VICE reports that Sony says so in its support guide for Grand Theft Auto VI codes. The mechanism is Console Sharing and Offline Play, a standard console setting.
According to VICE, the account that owns the game has to enable Console Sharing and Offline Play on the PS5 in question. Other profiles on that console can then launch the downloaded copy. If a friend has their own PS5, the setting is switched on there, from the PlayStation account that bought the game.
One limit is noted: an account can only enable sharing on a single PS5 at a time. If the owner already did it elsewhere, it must be turned off on the other console first.
Sony covers that case: the physical Standard Edition contains a download code. Once redeemed, the game is tied to the PlayStation account that used it, as with a PlayStation Store purchase, and sharing follows the same rule. On the box itself, see the first unboxings, which show a box with no disc.

Two points are missing from the source: does sharing also cover online play, and what happens if a second player wants to play at the same time as the owner? The guide quoted by VICE does not say, and Rockstar has not commented. We only report what is written: the principle of sharing is confirmed, its GTA Online details are not.
Unlock stays at midnight local time on November 19 on PS5, again per VICE. If the game shows a padlock after launch, check the sharing setting first, then the account used. To avoid waiting, the 212 GB preload has been open since November 10; key dates are on the release page.
For a household with one console, that is 79.99 € less to spend on a first copy. With two consoles, remote sharing means setting up the owner account properly before November 19. How it behaves online is something to check after launch.
