MeinMMO says the physical boxes were due to reach buyers tomorrow, but some fans are already receiving them today, and some are posting photos on social media.
Warnings circulating on X say the code is printed in the box and does not need to be scratched off, so a box that arrives without plastic wrap may be suspicious. Some fans suggest filming the unboxing as proof that the code was not already redeemed. MeinMMO calls that either a helpful tip or paranoia.
The outlet also notes that GTA 6 asks for age verification, so players should have ID ready. The physical version is a code, not a disc. These are community reports in a live ticker, not Rockstar guidance.
Is this real? Reported, but not confirmed by Rockstar yet
