GTA 6's "physical" PS5 codes in Japan will expire after 170 days

Rockstar says GTA 6 PS5 download codes sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game launches on Nov. 19, 2026.

Xbox codes in Japan will not expire and will not be region-locked, creating a platform-specific split.

The company says the Japan-only PS5 policy reflects regulatory restrictions and recommends buying through local retailers.

The rule adds fresh concern to GTA 6’s code-only retail release and may affect how Japanese buyers access the game.
