How Many Discs Are In GTA V On PC?

Grand Theft Auto V on PC takes a while to install if you buy it physically.

The cool thing about this is all the different disc art

Then you need to reinstall all 140GB of the current patched version after it forces you to install the rockstar launcher 😅

If Blu-ray took off with the PC market. That would been it would be one dual layer.

For PC, I understand why digital is more popular, but for consoles, I prefer physical because it gives you the benefit of lending to friends or trading in for future games

Jon: Stop buying GTA 5 and Mario kart 8

Also Jon: Here’s GTA 5 on PC I just found boxed.

I like swapping discs to install. I got into PC gaming in the 00s so it's nostalgic.

I remember finding this game super cheap at Wal-Mart during Black Friday 2017, and being absolutely flabbergasted when I opened it up and found *SEVEN* DVDs in there!

The problem is lots of PCs are no longer built with optical media in mind. When i built mine, i made sure to get a Blu-Ray Writer for my own uses. Now, blu-ray can hold a lot more data than a CD or DVD. If opictal media was more popular on PC, then we would probably all have Blu-Ray drives in our PCs. And if we did, physical PC games probably would have made the switch over to Blu-Ray just like console games did, and we wouldn't have to deal with 7-disc PC games.

Ha, i remember when final fantasy IX came out on PlayStation with 4 discs, or when Rage came out on 3 discs.

What a wonderful collection! 7 Discs full of nice art cover.

[simpkira]

Some of the greatest games ever came in at 4 mb restrictions to the format drive real creativity.. Bring back physical!

Were it not for Steam coming out in the early 2000s, BluRay drives would’ve been more widely adopted in computers, and thus physical PC releases would’ve been much like PS3 and, later, PS4/Xbox One releases in that they didn’t have to have nearly as many discs

[admiralrimmer]

Its 109GB on steam and about 45GB of that is updates for multiplayer that I never play.

[Jokermanz_z]

I would buy pc games physical because I would have a huge case to display and so many discs with cool artwork

[dorkmen]

John!!!! You just put GTAV on the charts again 😅

[sdmxzer]

at least there's different artwork for each disc

[Appl_Jax]

I remember when they transitioned from CDs to DVDs for the games... was really annoyed they skipped out on blu-rays which would have made having physical PC games more bearable.

[ChaoticHoly]

I'd rather own it physically, thanks. Gabe can go dump a "steam"ing turd.

[johntuel]

I'm kind of blown away that people are still playing that game.
