GTA V:steam region lock

MBK · 06-24-2015

So i got GTA V for PC the other day on Steam.I bought it from UK BUT i still haven't activated the key.
Now i want to play this game in Asia for sometime.Will it be a problem for me considering that Steam did some bull**** and region locked the games.
Note that it's a digital copy of the PC version.

Idk if it applies on steam but on PSN when you buy a game from a certain area like UK, you can only activate that code with your UK account. I buy games here but I have an US PS3 and account so I had to make an Asian account to play online.

Rockstars official website says that they still haven't given out information if the PC version would be Region locked or not.Does this mean it's not region locked rn?

Then try contacting the steam forums or some sort of thingy then ask for permission to use vpn since you bought the game and you have rights to use the game you bought! c:

I have this game on PC and on steam. I'm in Australia and there's no region lock for me, I get americans and people who speak different languages on a regular basis in multiplayer.

i think you didn't got what i said.

Steam announced in December 2014 that they are putting region locks on games.Now if someone buys a game from Russia and tries to play in US then he can't bcs of the exchange rate.

I bought this game from UK and want to play in Asia...now i'm not sure if this happens to me too.

I can play with other players from different regions if i want to(except Japan because of several reasons)...if i don't have this region lock stuff going on.
