To activate a Grand Theft Auto V Legacy key, open the Rockstar Games Launcher, sign into the Rockstar/Social Club account you want the game on, click your avatar in the top-right and select “Redeem Code,” then paste the activation code and follow the prompts. If you purchased the game directly from the Rockstar Store the code should already be associated with the buying account — see Rockstar’s activation/key guidance for specifics. Rockstar support: finding activation keys and redemption steps.
If you bought GTA V through Steam or the Epic Games Store the platform commonly handles the activation and will either show a CD key in your library or automatically link the license to your Rockstar account when you first launch the game. Troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure you’re signed into the correct Rockstar account in the Launcher and that any Steam/Epic account is linked in Launcher Settings.
- If the code reports “already in use” it’s already redeemed on a Rockstar account; check receipts and linked accounts.
- Region-restricted keys will fail to redeem outside their allowed countries—contact the retailer or Rockstar Support if that happens. Rockstar support: region/code errors and help.
If problems persist, gather your purchase receipt, the code, and account names and submit a ticket to Rockstar Support so they can resolve account/linking or redemption issues.
