Players found a way to steal the code from the GTA VI box? buyers fear for the safety of their copies
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and some buyers have already managed to get physical copies. However, there is a catch: the game will not be released on discs; the box only contains a code to activate the digital version of the game.
It looks like there may be problems with the code in some cases. A photo of a game box being shone through with a light went viral in the Grand Theft Auto VI waiting community—supposedly allowing the code to be seen. Now players fear their code could be stolen:
A user under the nickname al-Sahaabi tried to reassure players: “you actually can NOT see the code through the box even if you use a pretty strong flashlight.” He tried testing his copy:
Discussion participants suggested that al-Sahaabi’s example is inaccurate because he uses a different flashlight model and directs the light incorrectly.
Then al-Sahaabi posted another photo—shining light through the side of the case. He suggested that (at least in the American version of the game) a special coating may have been used to prevent such theft.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
