GTA 6 Japan Copies Carry Expiring Digital Codes
In Japan, physical GTA 6 boxes will include a single code for the digital download (and cosmetic pack if pre-ordered); that code expires 170 days after the November release, effectively devaluing launch copies by May 8, 2027. The expiry is tied to Japan’s prepaid-digital goods law (Payment Services Act), with Rockstar yet to comment. This reflects a move toward digital goods while accommodating regulatory requirements.
