Rockstar has announced that downloadable content will be coming to GTA V, but fans should be aware that it will be region-locked.

Here's the message found on Rockstar's support page noting that fans should purchase discs in their own countries “to avoid potential problems with DLC region-compatibility”:

“It is generally recommended that you buy and play games that are designated for your country to avoid potential problems with DLC region-compatibility.

“For example, a North American PS3 GTAV disc (BLUS31156 code on spine of box), Japanese PS3 GTAV disc (BLJM61019 code on the spine of the box) or Asian PS3 disc (BLAS 50639 code on spine of box for Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan. BLKS20442 for Korea) will play on a European PlayStation®3 console.

“However, if you live in Europe (where the GTAV disc code is BLES01807) you will likely have a European PSN account that will not be able to redeem a US pre-order code, and will only be able to download Region 2 (European) DLC, incompatible with non-European discs.”

Grand Theft Auto V will be released September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
