GTA VI Download Codes Can Apparently Be Read Through Boxes Using a Flashlight

Online reports suggest that download codes for some international physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI can be read from outside the closed box using a flashlight.

Reports circulating on social media and gaming forums indicate that the download code for Grand Theft Auto VI is printed directly on the inside cover of certain international game boxes rather than being hidden behind a scratch-off coating or paper insert. By shining a strong flashlight at an angle through the side of the box, users have reportedly been able to view the entire code without opening the packaging. This design flaw could create significant issues for retail buyers if the problem is widespread. Because the physical release serves only as a vehicle for a digital download code rather than containing a traditional game disc or cartridge, anyone able to view the code could potentially redeem it without purchasing the game, leaving unsuspecting customers with an unusable product.
