Video taking off 10x its usual first day

RetroGamingDays opens a GTA VI case with no disc inside

The silent PS5 unboxing reveals a download code and paper extras, while viewers question the empty disc holder.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 61,292 views a day, 10 times a normal first day on this channel (6,061).

The shrink wrap comes off, the case clicks open, and there is nothing to lift from the disc holder. RetroGamingDays' Grand Theft Auto VI unboxing has the familiar rituals of a physical game purchase, but the copy shown supplies its game on a download-code slip.

The warning is on the front before the packaging even opens: "Game download code. No disc included." That distinction has become the talking point beneath a Short that drew an estimated 61,000 views in its first day, roughly ten times the channel's usual Shorts start. Comments arrived at a similarly elevated pace.

Nobody speaks in the video. Instead, the hands work through the contents: a fold-out mini-poster with Vice City artwork, download instructions and an Ultimate Edition upgrade voucher. Removing the sleeve reveals reverse-side artwork featuring Lucia and Jason. It is an unboxing of the case and its paper extras, not a gameplay demonstration.

Viewers keep returning to the mismatch between the familiar packaging and what is inside. Some ask what purpose the disc holder serves; others ask where the map is. One recognizes the instinctive motion of reaching for a disc.

For RetroGamingDays, this follows the Spider-Man-masked GTA countdown dance we reported here. The channel has since moved into a run of uploads showing store shelves, code redemption and installation across PS5 consoles. This unboxing gives that sequence its most tangible detail: a physical case whose key instruction is to download.
