Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch
iamthetot@piefed.ca 1 week agoAs I understand it, game discs spin up to essentially read the disc which serves as a kinda of “key” to let the game launch. Not sure why it would be different install size from downloaded version, unless there’s some patching differences for some reason.

Sometimes the key function works by keeping critical files on the disc and never installing them to the system. Might install the art assets but not the executable, for instance.
