Unfortunately, digital games like GTA 6, which comes with a download code instead of a disc, generally cannot be resold. When you buy a digital game, you're usually purchasing a licence to play it, not the game itself. This licence is tied to your account and cannot be transferred to someone else, unlike a physical disc you own.
