The boxed versions of GTA V have been dated for PS5 and Xbox Series X

Rockstar will release the physical versions of Grand Theft Auto V for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on April 12.

Originally scheduled to arrive in November 2021 before being delayed late last year, the new-gen versions of GTA V and GTA Online were released digitally on March 15, ahead of planned boxed releases next month.

A mid-April physical release has now been confirmed, with pre-orders available from Rockstar ($39.99/£34.99), as well as retailers including Best Buy ($39.99) and Game (£24.99).

Unless you’re hell-bent on securing a physical copy, the cheapest and quickest way to get the game is digitally.

Rockstar is currently offering significant launch window discounts on GTA V and GTA Online, most notably on PS5.

The games are available together for $9.99 / £8.75 on the PlayStation Store and $19.99 / £17.49 on the Microsoft Store until June 14.

The new standalone version of GTA Online is also free to download for three months exclusively for PS5 players with a PlayStation Plus subscription. It costs £8.99 / $9.99 for Xbox Series X/S.
