GTA 6 physical copies in Japan come with an expiration date
Planning to pick up a physical copy of Grand Theft Auto 6 in Japan? Don't wait too long to use it. According to IGN and Kotaku, the download code included in the box will expire just 170 days after the game's launch date.
This news follows a wave of confusion over the game's controversial 'code-in-a-box' pre-orders. As Eurogamer reports, Rockstar has had to clarify which download codes will be region-locked, affecting players in various countries.
The move continues the industry trend of physical releases being little more than a paper license for a digital download, a practice that has frustrated collectors. If you buy the box, you'll need to redeem that code lickety-split.
