There is a lot riding on GTA 6, and the latest word that Rockstar may be stepping back from a traditional physical release will sting for collectors who were counting on a box on their shelf. Meanwhile, Slate's ultra-minimal electric truck continues to generate real conversation about what a stripped-down EV can actually offer in a market crowded with feature-heavy competitors. And if you need a break from all of it, this week's streaming roundup has you covered with everything new hitting your favorite platforms.

When Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders opened, one detail immediately soured the excitement: the so-called physical edition contains no disc. Buyers who pay up to $100 for the boxed version will receive cover art and a download code, nothing more. A wave of backlash followed, particularly from collectors who had hoped to own a tangible copy of one of the most anticipated releases in gaming history. Earlier statements from Rockstar Support had fueled optimism that a proper disc version might arrive in the months after launch, but The Hollywood Reporter has since reported that Rockstar currently has no plans to print GTA 6 discs at any point, and that the earlier mention of a "physical copy" simply referred to the code-in-a-case product already announced.

The disappointment carries extra weight given the scale of what GTA 6 represents. This is not a routine annual release but a game arriving more than a decade after GTA 5, one carrying enormous cultural and commercial gravity. Unconfirmed reports already put pre-orders at 39 million copies and roughly $3 billion in revenue, suggesting Rockstar is hardly operating under financial constraints that would make disc production prohibitive. Arguments that skipping discs helps prevent leaks and curb the secondhand market have circulated online, and they are not without logic, but they do little to soften the blow for fans who wanted something more durable than a download slip tucked inside a plastic case.

Whether Rockstar revisits the decision as launch approaches remains to be seen, but for now collectors hoping to place a genuine boxed copy of GTA 6 on a shelf will have to settle for an empty promise dressed up in official packaging.

The Bear is back for its fifth and final season, dropping on Hulu and FX this week with the kind of high-pressure drama that has made the Emmy-winning series one of the defining shows of its era. Season 5 picks up the morning after the Season 4 finale, which ended with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) walking away from the restaurant industry and handing the Bear over to Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie (Abby Elliott). The crew immediately faces a brutal combination of no money, Uncle Jimmy's plans to sell the restaurant, and a massive storm bearing down on Chicago — all of it threatening to make their next service their last.

For fans of the show, this is the conclusion of a story that has never pulled its punches, and the final season promises to deliver more of the restaurant panic and hard-won life lessons the series has always used as its signature. Despite quitting at the end of Season 4, Carmy appears in the trailer, suggesting the full ensemble will be on the line together when it matters most.

The Bear Season 5 premieres in its entirety June 25 on Hulu, with the first two episodes also airing that night at 9 p.m. ET on FX, followed by a new episode every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.

Slate Auto just pulled the wraps off a stripped-down electric pickup that starts at a hair under $25,000, which puts it among the cheapest EVs anyone has announced in years. The truck measures about a third the size of a typical gas pickup, and the bare design is the whole point. You give up the screens, sensors, and creature comforts that define most new cars, and in return you pay a lot less.

The startup grew out of a quiet project called Re:Car, run inside Re:Build Manufacturing, a domestic manufacturing venture backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The truck is basic, but it isn't entirely fixed. Buyers can personalize it through 3D-printed accessories and a wide range of colored wraps, so you can change how the thing looks without pushing the base price up. That lean, modular approach has already drawn serious investor money, and the vehicle is engineered and set for manufacture in the United States.

The open question, as Slate heads toward production, is simple: will American buyers actually want something this stripped down after years of trucks loaded with every gadget on the menu?
