Community Reviews
Grand Theft Auto VI for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S is being sold as a download code in a box, so there is no disc to resell or lend. The comments frame that as a digital-only move tied to the game's huge size and day-one patches, and they note that Rockstar has used code-in-box releases before. The main drawback is the loss of physical ownership and the secondary market, which has some waiting for a disc version instead. It is a straightforward preorder for players who are fine with digital access.
Digital-only console buyers who do not care about resale, because a code-in-box release removes the secondary market.
Players who want a large modern game on console, because the download-only release avoids disc-size limits for a huge install and day-one patches.
Xbox players who prefer a disc-to-digital model, because the disc can act as access to the digital version instead of a traditional physical copy.
Collectors who want to wait for a physical release, because a disc version is expected later and feels more like actual ownership.
Collectors who want a tradable physical copy, because this release is a download code in a box with no disc to resell.
Players who want to preserve resale value, because the digital-only format eliminates the secondary market.
Physical-game preservation fans, because skipping a disc means there is no physical version to keep or lend later.
Buyers who want to feel they own a boxed game immediately, because pre-ordering now only gets a receipt-like code instead of a disc.

This is more for them to prevent reselling the disc, and maintaining higher margins throughout the game's lifetime. GTA5 can be found really cheap nowadays since it's an old 13-year game, but 13 years after GTA6, you will not find GTA6 so cheaply since there is no physical version available to drive the digital price down. They eliminate the secondary market which brings them no profits, and hold control over the pricing since it's a digital only game with no other competitors.
That's what makes sense.
