The search for a physical copy of Grand Theft Auto VI on Amazon is a frustrating enterprise. The game is not present on the Italian marketplace, nor on that of other European countries such as UK, Germany, France or Spain. Instead of GTA 6, the search results report copies of GTA 5 or more dated chapters of the saga, indicating a problem that goes beyond a simple temporary technical error. A few days after the opening of the preorders of June 25, the situation has not changed and Amazon has not issued any official explanation. Options to preorder GTA 6 are now limited to MediaWorld and Unieuro, which offer the Standard Edition. To receive instant notifications when the rest on Amazon will become available – often with advantageous prices – it is advisable to subscribe to our Telegram channel dedicated to gaming offers: we will update you promptly when the title will be back on the store. The causes of this absence are speculated. One hypothesis concerns the Prime Day period, with a potential promotional launch planned for the event. However, this scenario turned out to be false: Prime Day ended and GTA 6 has not yet made its appearance on Amazon Europe. The most credited explanation is Rockstar Games' decision to release GTA 6 in an exclusive digital version, without Blu-ray disc. This choice, although common in the sector, has aroused strong disapproval among retailers, such as VGP in Canada and Loot Box Gaming, which fear a difficult justification to the final customer. Amazon could take a similar approach, or use this issue as leverage to negotiate better business conditions with Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's mother house. The result for European users is the same: the preorder of GTA 6 on Amazon is not available and you do not know the date of its return. It is important to note that the game is regularly pre-ordered on Amazon.com, the US portal, confirming that the problem specifically concerns the European market. The question of physical support therefore seems to be the centre of mystery, with a significant impact on the availability of GTA 6 on traditional channels. VERDETTO: CRITICO La situazione di Amazon riguardo alla disponibilità di GTA VI è francamente preoccupante. Il fatto che il gioco non sia presente sul marketplace italiano, europeo e globale per un periodo così lungo dopo l'apertura dei preordini solleva legittimi dubbi sulle strategie di Rockstar e Take-Two. L’ipotesi del Prime Day è stata smentita, e la decisione di rilasciare GTA 6 in versione digitale esclusiva – che ha già scatenato reazioni negative tra i rivenditori – amplifica ulteriormente il problema. Il fatto che il gioco sia regolarmente in preordine su Amazon.com, un mercato completamente diverso, sottolinea una falla nel sistema di distribuzione europeo e, forse, un controllo più rigoroso da parte della casa madre sul lancio del titolo. L'assenza di comunicazioni ufficiali da Rockstar aggrava ulteriormente la situazione, creando incertezza e frustrazione per i potenziali acquirenti. La correlazione con il sold-out della PS5 Pro, come evidenziato in un articolo recente, suggerisce una domanda enorme che il sistema attuale non è in grado di gestire – un segnale d'allarme da non sottovalutare.
