GTA V fans not happy with the physical PS5 copies due to a major reason
It’s already known that the last year ended up being a nightmare for Rockstar. The release of the GTA Trilogy had caused widespread outrage. Simply because of its poor gameplay performance across all three titles in the original trilogy. In fact, fans were so disappointed that as a result of the situation, the developer and publisher had to issue an apology.
Now, it appears as if a similar situation might arrive once again, although not being as intense as GTA Trilogy’s.
GTA V is getting a physical release for the latest consoles, namely the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. The game will make its way into the stores in just a few days.
Interestingly, some of the fans have been able to get the copies early before the main launch. And recently a YouTuber shared their first impressions, along with the pictures of GTA V’s CD inside the box. Surprisingly, though, they noticed that the physical versions are no longer having the iconic Los Santos map.
A YouTube creator known as Retro Gaming Future has obtained an early copy of GTAV for PS5, three days prior to launch with a little look with an unboxing.
It doesn't surprisingly feature the usual Los Santos map and even a manual.

This is very rare to see inside the box of a Grand Theft Auto title from Rockstar because it has never happened. But this time, for the PS5 console, some of the users have reported that there’s no actual map present or even the game’s manual.
As soon as this news hit the social media, the majority of the players wasted no time in going all guns blazing over Rockstar. Expectedly, most of them were upset and frustrated to know about this situation.
Wtf they didnt even bother to include the map?!?!?! Wtf rockstar

I hoped the “no map and manual” thing was only gonna happen to the physical version of the GTA trilogy. But this shows that R* truly don’t care anymore, first thing I did for every new GTA was check out the map and manual. Physical version of GTA 6 probably won’t feature that.
