To redeem the GTA 6 code from a boxed copy, enter it in the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store on the account you play on. Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI are code-in-box editions, so there is no game on a disc, and the download is up to 212 GB.

Key Facts
- Physical copies on sale: from November 12, 2026
- What is in the box: a download code, not the game on a disc
- Download size: up to 212 GB
- Unlocks: midnight local time on November 19
How to redeem the GTA 6 code on PS5
- Sign in to the PlayStation account you play on.
- Open the PlayStation Store and select the “…” menu at the top of the screen.
- Choose Redeem Code and type the code from the card in the box.
- Confirm, then start the download from your Game Library.
How to redeem it on Xbox Series X|S
- Sign in to the Microsoft account you play on.
- Open the Microsoft Store, press the View button and choose Redeem.
- Enter the 25-character code from the card and confirm.
- Install the game from My games & apps.
Pro Tip
Redeem as soon as you get the box, because 212 GB can take hours. Our pre-load guide shows how to free up space and let the download run overnight.
If the code does not work
- Check that the card is for your console: a PS5 code will not work on Xbox, and the other way round.
- Retype it carefully, because letters like O and 0 are easy to mix up.
- Still stuck? Contact the store you bought it from, then PlayStation or Xbox support.
Warning
Never share a photo of your code online. Anyone who sees it can redeem it first.
Once you redeem the GTA 6 code, check when the game unlocks in our release time guide.
