The GTA Trilogy's physical release date is 7 December 2021. Rockstar Games states that:

"...a physical release for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on December 7."

As one can see, the PlayStation 5 isn't listed in this section. Either way, the mentioned consoles are getting the game almost a month early via digital means.

Still, consoles like the Nintendo Switch are getting a physical copy. Some prefer having a physical copy of all of their games, so this is a big deal to them.
