GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 writer Dan Houser says companies should sell game discs if players want them

Dan Houser said publishers should keep selling game discs for players who still want physical copies.

He said he is not personally attached to discs, but digital releases help developers update and fix games more easily.

The remarks land as GTA VI heads toward a digital-only launch and Sony faces backlash over ending new PlayStation discs in 2028.

The debate underscores a broader industry split between consumer demand for physical media and the push toward digital distribution.
