GTA V:steam region lock
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.

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. Also the GTA Thread for in the future: http://www.graalians.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19985 |

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. |
