GTA 6 Physical Edition Unboxing Appears Online as Shipping Starts for PS5 and Xbox
The first GTA 6 unboxing video has passed 1 million views, showing codes and a double-sided poster in the physical edition for PS5 and Xbox.
What the unboxing shows
Copies of the physical edition of GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox have started to reach buyers, and the first unboxing video has spread quickly. According to Pure Xbox, it appeared overnight and has already passed 1 million views on social media.
That first video covers the PS5 version. Pure Xbox says it expects no major differences for the Xbox version, though that is the outlet's expectation and not something it has confirmed. Other unboxing videos have since appeared online, including one on YouTube.
What is in the box
The videos show that the game comes with a download code. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition, where it applies, also get a separate code for that edition's extra content.
A double-sided poster is included too. Its inclusion had been confirmed before, but the videos now show what it looks like. The front carries the GTA 6 cover art. The back has artwork of a female character.
Pure Xbox notes that this character is not Lucia or Jason. It describes her as presumably heavily involved in the story, but that is the outlet's guess. The sources give no name or role for her.
Why the shipping date looked different
Rockstar Games gave November 12 as the date physical copies would ship for Xbox and PS5. Pure Xbox says it saw other retailers listing November 11 instead, so it was not surprised that copies turned up early.
The source does not say how many copies are in circulation, and it does not say whether every region or retailer has started shipping.
What it means for you
If you pre-ordered a physical copy, you may see it arrive on or around November 11 or 12. Dates depend on your retailer. Check your order status for your own delivery estimate.
The videos also show what the physical edition adds. Based on the unboxing footage Pure Xbox describes, the extras are the codes and the poster. If you want to avoid spoilers, note that the poster's back artwork is already being shown online.
