Grand Theft Auto VI download codes on PS5 expire less than 6 months after launch, leaving physical buyers with unusable

GTA 6 PS5 Download Codes Have Limited Expiration Window

Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI on PlayStation 5 come with download codes that expire less than six months after the game’s launch. This means buyers of physical editions will need to redeem their codes within that timeframe or risk losing access to their copies.

The expiration policy applies specifically to the download codes included with physical PS5 versions. Once a code expires, it becomes unusable, rendering the physical copy non-functional for new owners who don’t redeem it in time.

This detail matters for players planning to purchase physical copies of GTA 6, as it creates a hard deadline for code redemption to ensure their purchase remains playable.
