After more than a decade of anticipation, Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders officially went live on Thursday, June 25. But instead of celebrating, many players were left scratching their heads.
Shortly after pre-orders opened, confusion spread online as fans tried to figure out what exactly they were buying. Historically, when you pre-ordered a GTA game, you were reserving a physical copy of the game.
“Pre-orders make no sense in the digital world. It’s not like they will run out like they did with physical copies,” one user pointed out on Instagram.
“What's the point of pre ordering you can buy it after the release duh.. you can only play after its release or pre ordered people should have the advantage of getting to play a day earlier before its release that makes sense tbh,” said another.
A third theorized, “They want money to finish the other half of the game.”
However, others defended the option to pre-order.
“Cause I have money now and may not in 5 months ?,” a fan quipped.
“It feels better when the day comes, feels like you never paid,” another shared.

As criticism mounted, Rockstar appeared to respond through its customer support team. According to a support email obtained by VICE, the company told customers that the current pre-order is "indeed just for a digital-only update" and that players "will be able to acquire a physical copy during the following months."
But that statement has only created more questions.
Rockstar didn't clarify whether that future "physical copy" means an actual disc-based version or simply another boxed edition containing a download code. It's also unclear whether the company plans to release it before or after the game's November 19 launch.
For now, players eager to jump into Grand Theft Auto VI can still secure their copy ahead of release—but keep an eye on Rockstar’s social media for more updates.
