GTA 6 Will Be Available On As A Physical Release On Day One, Take-Two Confirms

GTA 6 Will Be Available On As A Physical Release On Day One, Take-Two Confirms https://ift.tt/M5eNOgH Grand Theft Auto VI is coming this year after a long wait, and as it gets closer, rumors have begun to pop up about its launch. One rumor that has gained considerable traction is that the game would launch as a digital-only title , with a physical release coming at some point after release. The logic behind the rumor was that a physical release of the game could lead to early leaks ahead of the game's launch, and that publisher Take-Two might be willing to go to great lengths to avoid this.

While the hands-on didn't include the character-creator section, the pre-fab characters were noticeably imbued with the off-kilter, Charlie Brown-esque cartoonish style of Olimar. Olimar has crashed on a strange planet, leading to a daring rescue mission that also crashed. Oops.

As a practical matter that makes it a less lonely affair than its predecessors, Pikmin 4 is bursting with other humanoid characters who can serve to explain its various systems and lend a hand. Instead of an isolated mission surrounded by silent plant-creatures, you're part of a crew. And given that Pikmin can be fairly dense with systems to manage, that's a welcome change.
