Age Rating Details
GTA 6 received an age rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of decapitation, the ability for players to consume cocaine from their inventory at any time, scenes of sexual fetishes, and other mature content.
The rating on the Pan European Game Information board's website provides a detailed description of Rockstar Games' upcoming title ahead of its November launch, following an M for Mature rating from the ESRB.
The listing outlines a story where players control Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, two criminals involved in a conspiracy following a failed robbery in Vice City.
PEGI's description highlights the open-world sandbox structure and the breadth of activities available in the game.
Violence and Substance Use
The board described the game's violence as bloody with a high degree of realism, noting that certain weapons cause greater damage such as detailed decapitation and dismemberment. Drug use is described as frequent and prominent, with players able to carry cocaine in their inventory and snort it directly from their hand at any time.
The description also touched on strong sexual themes, including nudity, intercourse, and sexual fetishes.
The board noted that due to the free-roam nature of the game, players can harm civilians, criminals, and authorities using weapons capable of detailed decapitation and dismemberment.
Cocaine is highlighted as an item that can be carried around and used directly from the player inventory.
In nightclubs, players can pay for private dances, during which the interface allows interaction with the dancers.
Additional Content
The rating mentions that domestic animals can be harmed, profanity is featured prominently, and discriminatory language can be heard on in-game radio channels and television shows.
The listing also points to the option to purchase in-game items, though specifics remain unconfirmed.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 19, 2026.
