Reports of GTA 6 Game Codes Being Stolen With Flashlights

Grand Theft Auto VI releases in less than a week from now, and people are already getting copies of it. There's just one very big problem though.

A 2-billion dollar game from a multi-billion dollar company has been defeated by a $5 flashlight. Because the codes of the boxes are printed on the inside of cover itself.

Fans claim a new trick can reveal the GTA 6 download code without opening the physical box.

By shining a flashlight through the plastic at an angle, they say the text inside becomes visible.

There are multiple conflicting reports about this. Some people claim that the flashlight is able to see through the case, but cannot see the code itself. Others however have been able to claim that their code was visible through the box. Our administrator, Fluxflashor, has confirmed that he has been able to see the code through his copy with a flashlight.

If you're planning on buying a "physical" version of GTA 6, just be warned about the possibility of the codes being taken already. Some people have reported that it's not possible with the cases where they're from, but other reports have stated that they are. And since the games are sold without a disc inside of them, if you end up buying a copy of the game with the code already claimed, you effectively spent $80 on a useless box.

Perhaps bring a flashlight of your own? If you're not able to see through the game case, you're almost certain to be safe.
