No. The boxed version of GTA 6 contains a download code, and Rockstar says 'a disc will not be included in the box'. Take-Two's CEO won't rule out a disc at some later point, but none is planned.
There is a physical box, so "physical copy" is technically true, but what's inside is a code for the digital download. The Ultimate Edition has no boxed version at all. Boxed Standard owners can buy the Ultimate Edition Upgrade once their code is redeemed.
PlayStation codes are locked to the region of your PlayStation account; Xbox codes are not region locked. Rockstar recommends buying from a retailer in the same country as your console account.
Zelnick told IGN that more than 90% of Take-Two's sales are digital and denied that leak fears drove the decision.
