New regional codes for GTA 6’s physical PS5 edition have appeared in the Rockstar Store backend. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19.
The codes were spotted for roughly seven regions, including DUT for the Netherlands, UAE for the United Arab Emirates and AUS for Australia. Ben/videotech suggests they may account for different age ratings and local restrictions, but the codes themselves do not confirm altered or removed content.
Regional restrictions for the physical edition
Some countries impose separate requirements concerning violence, drugs, gambling and nudity. The codes could also relate to local product descriptions and packaging rather than the game’s content.
For the boxed PS5 edition in Japan, the code expires 170 days after release. Rockstar has added a corresponding warning to its website. Pre-orders may be unavailable in some regions because of platform rules, regional regulations and age ratings; several Middle Eastern countries remain exceptions to the game’s broad availability.
ESRB and some other organisations have not yet assigned the game an age rating. Rockstar has previously altered scenes involving scantily dressed characters and prostitution in the Japanese version of GTA 5.
Game Informer prepares new materials
On September 29, Game Informer’s digital issue will become available to subscribers. It will include 12 previously unpublished screenshots and interviews about the Leonida map, weather and animals; the print edition will also be distributed to mailboxes, newsstands and press retailers.
Journalist Marcus Stewart spoke with Rockstar designers about the Florida-inspired map and dynamic weather. Trailers have shown sunshine and heavy rain, but it remains unknown whether different areas of Vice City will have their own conditions that affect missions.
The feature will also cover animals in the open world. Alligators, dolphins and deer have been mentioned as possible wildlife, but a living ecosystem, hunting and fishing remain unconfirmed. The progression and skill-change systems for Jason and Lucia are also still unknown.
