Grand Theft Auto V To Ship With 2 Discs On Xbox 360

In a Q&A this morning Rockstar Games, developers of Grand Theft Auto V, answered GTA V questions from their loyal fans on their newswire blog. One of the concerns from Xbox 360 users would be about how many discs would be required for their versions of the game, since theXbox 360 discs are smaller in data size capabilities than the PS3 disc. This is Rockstar’s response.

"Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game we have yet created, and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation®3 systems. For Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto V will ship on two discs; Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs."

So there you have it. Both game systems will require an installation to the HDD (of roughly 8 GB), but the Xbox 360’s version of Grand Theft Auto V will come with an install disc. They also confirmed that there are no current plans for a next-gen or PC release, and that the game will indeed ship for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 17, 2013. Hopefully they stick to their release date this time.
