Some international physical copies of GTA VI can allegedly be redeemed without opening the box
Less than a week before Grand Theft Auto VI is released into the wild, online reports have started to bubble up about a potentially serious issue with the retail version of the game.
AI Summary
Online posts on ResetEra and X claim that the download code for Grand Theft Auto VI can be seen through the side of some retail boxes without opening them. The reports say the code is printed on the inside cover of the box rather than hidden on a paper insert or scratch‑off coating, making it visible when illuminated with a strong flashlight. Photographs of illuminated codes have been shared, though it is unclear how widespread the issue is. The problem appears to affect only international copies, as U.S. boxes include a backing that masks the code.
