The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and physical copies have started being dispatched to customers. No leaks are to be expected, since there is no disc included — only a download code for the new installment in the Rockstar Games franchise.
In addition to the code, the package includes a double-sided Grand Theft Auto VI poster — featuring cover artwork divided by the signature “grid” on one side, and a girl depicted on the other.
Suddenly, the GTA VI poster became part of the “console war.” A user going by the handle GameRiot noticed that the poster from the Xbox Series X|S version turned out to be smaller than the one received by PlayStation 5 buyers.
Users began joking — claiming that after something like this, they would “cancel pre-orders.” Justin Latham added: “Xbox tax is real!”
Ciphersight then joined the discussion and suggested that this situation with the GTA VI posters is happening “only in the UK — they have weird recycling laws or something like that.” Some players disagreed with him, but they did not provide any proof that posters are normal in other regions.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
