Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it

Rockstar says Japanese PS5 boxed copies of GTA 6 will include a download code, not a disc.

The code will expire 170 days after launch, so unused copies could stop working around May 2027.

The policy is linked to Japan’s local regulations and payment rules.

It underscores how a “physical” edition can still be a time-limited digital product.
