GTA 6 Ditches Discs as Take-Two Boss Likens Physical Media to Vinyl Records
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has defended the decision to skip a physical disc release for Grand Theft Auto VI, arguing that the format no longer serves the modern consumer's needs for massive software titles. Comparing physical games to the resurgence of vinyl records, Zelnick suggested that while some collectors may value the physical object, the industry is firmly moving toward a digital-first model. This shift reflects the increasing size of modern games and the convenience of digital storefronts, marking a significant milestone in the decline of physical media for blockbuster releases.
