Target's military coupon has been used to shave money off Grand Theft Auto VI preorders on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, and it can stack with other savings for a much lower final price. The physical version is being discussed as a code-in-box or later disc release, with some expecting a disc in December and others noting a physical case still has resale and lending value. The main catch is that the coupon appears to be one-time use and may no longer apply, since Target exclusions now list Grand Theft Auto gaming software. It is a deal worth watching, but the discount may not survive checkout.
Veterans with a verified Target account who already receive Circle offers, because the military coupon can appear in the account and work on the purchase.
Physical-media collectors who want a disc they can resell or lend later, because the disc version can be sold after finishing the game or borrowed by others.
Players who want a cheaper premium edition and already use PlayStation Store credit, because the discount stack can bring the Ultimate Edition down to about $65 before tax.
Players who want a guaranteed physical launch disc, because the launch version may be code-in-box and the disc release timing is uncertain.
Offline players who need a fully installable disc, because the physical version may still require downloading the rest of the game before it can be played.
A stacking approach can reduce the effective cost by combining Redcard savings, military discount, cashback, and discounted PlayStation Store gift cards.
It worked for some accounts, but it no longer applies to GTA VI pre-orders under Target's current exclusions. The exclusions specifically list "Grand Theft Auto gaming software," so the discount may show in cart and then disappear at checkout.
The thread points to a code-in-box physical launch rather than a true disc release, with some comments mentioning a possible later disc version in December. That means the launch copy may still require downloading the game rather than installing fully from disc.
There is no confirmation that online will be a paid add-on. The only concrete detail in the thread is that the base release is being discussed as single-player at launch, with online not confirmed as a separate purchase.
Not sure why younger gamers don't speak up more this is absurd code in the box is bs it's only when psn or Xbox live is down when people start to notice this digital convenience is not what it's cracked up to be .. gaming industry is completely abusing the gamers .. give me my games on SSD cartridges and stop selling beta games 🕹️🤙
And also, can't you install and play GTA 5 after PS5 disc version installation on a PS5 disconnected from the internet without updates to the game installation? That's why people are screaming about it just being a code in a box. I don't care if the installation needs more than 1 disc, just don't want to see a "key" disc like Switch 2 key cards.
I can't seem to get the 20% off to apply. I'm verified vet, Circle shows 20% applied in cart, I've removed and re-added the coupon and the game. Go to check out and no discount shows.
