GTA V is a beast of a game, not just in gameplay but in size too. The developers crammed it with so much content that it overflowed onto two discs. The first disc is to get all the game data onto your system, and the second disc is what you need to have in the console to dive into Los Santos. It's kinda cool, like getting a double album from your favorite band.
Back in the day when GTA 5 first hit the shelves, the game was so massive that it couldn't fit on a single DVD. So, they split it into two discs. One is the 'Install' disc, which you need to load onto your console or PC first. And the second one is the 'Play' disc, which you use to actually play the game after the installation. It's like buying a book so thick they had to publish it in two volumes!
