Physical Copies Of GTA 6 In Japan Will Expire After A Few Months

Japanese retail copies of GTA 6 are reported to include only a digital download code, not a full disc game.

The code is said to expire 170 days after launch, likely due to Japan’s prepaid code regulations.

That means buying a physical edition could still be a temporary purchase, not a permanent one.

The case underscores growing friction between physical packaging and increasingly digital game distribution.
