GTA 6 players who buy the so‑called physical edition of the game on PS5 in Japan will see their download codes expire 170 days after GTA 6 launches on 19 November 2026, according to Rockstar's own support information, raising new questions about how long fans will actually 'own' the blockbuster title.
GTA 6 has already attracted controversy long before anyone has gone hands-on. The game has been delayed several times after years of speculation, some content is being locked behind a pricier $100 edition, and in a move that irritated collectors, the 'physical' console version is just a box with a code instead of a disc.
