4. 4Enter your key and confirmPaste your key into the code field exactly as it appears on your order page, then click Redeem.

If the key doesn't work

Wrong launcher:Some 2K titles redeem on Steam or Epic instead of Rockstar Games Launcher. Double-check the "Required Launcher" field on your product page before trying again.

Already activated:Each key works once. If you see "this code has already been redeemed," check whether the game is already sitting in your library before contacting support.

Invalid code:Double-check for mixed-up characters — 0 (zero) vs O, or 1 vs I vs l are the most common typos. Re-copy the key rather than retyping it.
