GTA 6 Age Rating Confirms New Details on Sex, Drug Use, Decapitation, and More

GTA 6 has received an age rating of PEGI 18, revealing detailed mentions of extreme content including decapitation, drug use, and sexual themes. The update, found on the Pan European Game Information board's website, provides players with a relatively in-depth description of Rockstar Games' megaton video game ahead of its launch in November. This rating arrives shortly after the official ESRB 'M for Mature' rating. The PEGI 18 description details a story where players take control of Jason Duval or Lucia Caminos, two criminals entangled in a conspiracy in Vice City. Regarding content, the board described the violence as "bloody with a high degree of realism," noting that certain weapons can cause greater damage, such as detailed decapitation and dismemberment. Drug use is highlighted as frequent and prominent; players will be able to partake in illicit substances, with cocaine specifically mentioned as being snorted directly from the player's inventory at any time. Furthermore, the rating touches on strong sexual themes, including nudity, scenes of intercourse, and occasional scenes of sexual fetishes. The PEGI summary also notes that domestic animals can be harmed, that profanity is featured prominently, and that discriminatory language can be heard in the game’s radio and TV broadcasts.
