GTA 6 codes: PS5 region-locked
Short answer: Rockstar Support says GTA 6 boxed copies (a download code, no disc) are region-locked on PS5: the code only works on a PlayStation account in the matching country group. Xbox Series X|S codes are not region-locked. In Japan, codes expire 170 days after the 19 November launch.
