GTA 6 digital codes in Japan expire 170 days after launch

GTA 6 digital codes have an expiration date in this one country

Rockstar dropped a small but important detail for anyone planning to grab a digital code for GTA 6 in Japan. Those codes come with an expiration date, 170 days after the game launches on November 19, 2026. So if you buy one, you've got until early May 2027 to redeem it before it's worthless.

This isn't some weird glitch or rumor, it's straight from Rockstar's own support page. The policy only applies to Japan, which makes me think it's tied to some local consumer law or maybe how digital goods are regulated over there. Either way, it's a good heads-up for importers or anyone who might sit on a code for a while.

I know a few people who like to buy physical editions from different regions for the box art or pre-order bonuses. If you're grabbing a Japanese code for the Vintage Vice City Pack, you'll want to redeem it well before May 2026. Not that I'd wait that long to play, but still.
