Rockstar has already announced there's no disk for GTA 6, if you buy a physical copy it's just a download code.

So not only will a PS5 Pro and GTA6 Ultimate combo cost me €1000, I’m not even getting a disc?

I was planning to purchase a PS5 for GTA6 after the first trailer but I’m not sure about that now.

I dream of a future Sony crack, where some ingenious youth has modded a future PS6 to use physical media, offline. As a gesture of kindness, this hypothetical hack could require an already-purchased/licensed copy in order to perform... which then allows offline cartridge-like gameplay (e.g. swap SD cards, or something).

When GTA5 stopped working (without updating from Win7->10, years ago), I lost a great therapeutic post-work sytem. So I bought a PS4Pro and have never let it get online – FU.sony – never will.

But really hoping the cat-and-mouse game of discless playstations bites Sony in the ass bigtime. I've already got $100 for this future hacker's commissary.
