- Users are reporting that some GTA 6 physical copies don’t even include the code.
- Others also report that their copies shipped with an already-redeemed code.
- This is a serious concern for those who spend $80, only to find an empty box.
GTA 6 is now closer than ever, and fans are hyped. Most have already pre-loaded the massive over 200GB file and are waiting patiently for November 19. However, some of the people who have bought the box edition are facing an issue.
Buyers are reporting that GTA 6 physical edition copies are shipping even without the code. Since the title already doesn’t have the disc, the code is all we get, and imagine spending $80 and finding out there’s none inside.
Why it matters: This seems like quite a weird case and something the publishers should look into. Apart from the no-code issues, several users also report that their copy came with a code that was already redeemed.
Physical Copy Release Issues Discussion Thread

There’s now a dedicated Reddit thread where fans are highlighting their issues with the GTA 6 physical edition copies. One buyer says they got the copy directly from the official PlayStation outlet, only to find no code inside.
Others are also reporting that the redemption failed for them, suggesting the codes were already used. So, it seems that for now the best way to get it is to directly purchase from the digital Xbox or PlayStation stores.

However, this issue doesn’t seem too widespread at the moment, but it does seem quite random. So, buying a physical edition is going to be a risk, as you could be the next person to face this unfortunate issue.
We aren’t really sure who to blame for this. Rockstar webpage is instructing customers to contact the stores; however, this seems like an issue that happened before the boxes reached there, so this must be looked into.
