SHiFT codes are 25-character keys ({XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX}) that unlock in-game rewards such as Golden Keys and cosmetics. Treat each code as a dated claim: it can be redeemed already, withdrawn without a listed deadline, or be unavailable on a platform.
Redeem and read the actual result
Use the official SHiFT site with the account linked to the platform you play on. Paste the whole code, choose the relevant game/platform if prompted, and inspect the reward result and history. If it says already redeemed, check that history before retrying. If it says expired or invalid, compare the exact code and listed deadline rather than assuming repeated attempts will change it.
Where we get them
The October 25 additions link to their original 2K Japan and Randy Pitchford posts. Each row identifies which public report supplies its reward quantity and deadline. Additional source listings are MentalMars’ list and GamesRadar’s list; older entries retain their October 18 source dates. These are source listings, not proof of your account’s eligibility. The September 17 change making previously unlocked cosmetics available for Loveless is separate from code redemption.
How expiry labels are handled
A listed end date is useful evidence, but no end date is not a permanence guarantee. This page says “no expiry listed” when its source does not publish a deadline and keeps known expired codes separate. CS5BT and JZRJ3 are now in the expired archive. CS5BT is archived at the conservative JST reading of 2K Japan’s October 30 at 00:00 notice (October 29, 15:00 UTC); JZRJ3 is archived after its source-listed October 27 date passed, with its exact cutoff unverified at archive time. Both keep their original posts and dated reports on the archive rows.
Follow dated changes
The RSS link above follows this site’s dated change log. It does not promise an email or guarantee that a code remains available. Open the source and redemption result before assuming a reward was claimed. This week’s deadlines are broken down in the SHiFT code expiry story and on the expiry timeline.
