Sony has confirmed a major gaming presence at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, with dedicated panels for three of its most anticipated titles. God of War: Laufey, Marvel's Wolverine, and Marvel Tokon are all set to receive reveals at the iconic annual event, signaling that fans can expect significant new information on each project in the weeks ahead.
Insomniac Games has been busy sharing exciting details about Marvel's Wolverine for PS5, and fans have two big pieces of news to sink their claws into. First, in a direct response to the controversy surrounding Rockstar's decision to ship GTA 6 as a code-in-a-box, the Wolverine development team has confirmed that their game will come with an actual physical disc — and will not be following GTA 6's premium pricing lead either. The announcement is a welcome reassurance for physical media enthusiasts who feared the industry might be trending away from traditional disc-based releases.
Rockstar Games has ignited a firestorm of controversy after confirming that Grand Theft Auto 6 will ship as a digital-only "code-in-a-box" release, forgoing a traditional physical disc entirely. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from press and players alike, with PC Gamer calling it "a terrible, anti-consumer move" that sets a dangerous precedent for the future of physical media in gaming. In a pointed counter-move, Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine team was quick to confirm their upcoming PS5 title will ship with an actual disc — and won't follow GTA 6's pricing model either, signaling that not every major studio is ready to abandon physical releases.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6, launching November 19, 2026 at $80, will not ship with a physical disc at launch — a decision that has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. While a "physical" box edition will be available, it will contain only a digital download code, stripping consumers of the traditional disc ownership model. Adding further friction, online retailers are warning that PS5 download codes bundled in physical boxes will be region-locked, meaning they can only be redeemed in the country of purchase — a significant blow for international buyers and travellers.
