GTA 6 codes will expire incredibly quickly in Japan
Gamers in Japan planning to buy a physical copy of GTA 6 on PS5 (for a code in a box) at launch will have just 170 days to redeem it before it expires.
Rockstar's support page said: "[PS5] product codes in Japan will expire 170 days after the issuance date, which is the launch date (19 November 2026) due to regional regulations."
That means any such copies purchased after 8 May 2027 will not work. Rockstar says the expiration starts from the date codes are issued and not purchased.
The safest way to purchase a GTA 6 code for PS5 and be able to play it is to buy it from the country and territory your account is tied to - otherwise it might not work as PlayStation codes are region locked.
XBOX codes are not region locked and can be bought from different countries and territories without this issue.

Speaking on the latest episode of Insider Gaming Weekly, he said: "I reckon we're getting GTA 6 trailer 6 August. Boom. Lock it in. Educated guess."
