What disc will this game fit on? I'd like to buy a stack of them to backup my media library.
Lots of games have shipped on multiple discs over the decades. As recently as FF7 Rebirth which was shipped on two or three, iirc.
I was familiar with PS1 games doing it but hadn't seen it since then. Admittedly I haven't owned a console since the Xbox 360 and even that I only played a few games on. I was under the impression that most discs these days basically amounted to a cd key and then the actual game downloaded to the console when you tried to play it.
Blueray if the game is under 128 GBs.
GTA5 on Steam says it requires 105GB. It's not unreasonable to think that GTA6 would take more than 128GB.
Of course with compression (at the cost of longer load times) and/or lower quality textures, I would bet you could make it fit.
I also seem to recall some disk based games in the past containing a subset of the full game. Although at that point you don't really "win" by having it on disk of isn't the full game.
Or you could do multiple disks.
GTA5 has gone through a decade and more of storage requirement bloat thanks to rockstar, I wouldnt be surprised if GTA6 is at laucnher smaller than GTA5 currently
Rockstar marketing exec: "It must be at least 1TB"
The disc also acts as a DRM check and allows you to download the full game from there. No disc means no resell. You can't get a pre-owned copy. You can't lend it to a friend. If you lose access to your console account, you lose the game. Fork over another $100 to continue playing.
I didn't expect that you would be able to reuse games these days anyway. That surprises me that you can still do that. Thanks for explaining what the actual problem with this is.
A few games, like certain Battlefields, have tried making it so you can resell the disc for single player content but won't be allowed to access multiplayer content
People didnt like that, so I think they stopped doing that for recent Battlefields... not 100% sure
