GTA 6 Physical Copies Vulnerable to Code Exposure

Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto 6 may be vulnerable to a security issue. The game's download code is printed on the inside of the cover, rather than on a separate card or insert. This makes it visible from the outside of the case when a flashlight is shone on it.

The issue affects PEGI regions, but not North America, where the code is intentionally obscured. Rockstar has been contacted for an explanation, but no response has been received. The security flaw does not affect digital preorders or code-in-box copies that unlock on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
