GTA 6's digital download codes in Japan have a limited lifespan, with expiration set for 170 days post-launch, a unique restriction in the region. This news has sparked debate among players, particularly those who were already frustrated by the absence of a disc release. The expiration rule is specific to the PS5 version, as Xbox codes are not region-locked. The lack of a physical release has been a point of contention, with fans expressing their disappointment on social media. Despite this, GTA 6 continues to break records, boasting the strongest pre-order campaign on record and projected sales of 37-51 million units in its first week. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between digital and physical media in the gaming industry, and it remains to be seen how this will impact future game releases.
