Rockstar Games has stopped selling its digital games to Brazilian players. The change took effect on March 16, 2026, and is related to the implementation of the new Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents in the country, Lei Felca .
From this date, titles such as GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 can no longer be purchased through the Rockstar Games Store or the official Launcher in Brazil . However, the games remain available on other popular digital platforms.
What changes for players in Brazil?
The decision only affects direct sales made by Rockstar itself. In other words, stores like Steam , Epic Games Store , PlayStation Store , and Microsoft Store continue to offer the company's titles in the country as normal. Furthermore, those who have already purchased games will not be affected. Users can still access, download, and play their titles normally through the Rockstar Launcher, without any additional limitations.
Impact of the new digital legislation: The Felca Law
The so-called Digital ECA , or popularly known as the Felca Law , establishes stricter rules for the protection of minors in the online environment. This measure requires adjustments from digital companies operating directly in Brazil, which motivated Rockstar's change.
Even with this change, additional content such as virtual currency purchases — including Shark Cards and Gold Bars — remain available without impact on the company's platforms.
