Removed GTA 6 PEGI Listing Leaves Content Claims Unverified

A detailed PEGI 18 listing for Grand Theft Auto VI appeared online on October 2 and was later removed, with copied versions describing graphic violence, drug use and sexual content. The listing is no longer available on the ratings body’s website, leaving its specific descriptions unverified. The copied wording attributed to PEGI described realistic bloody violence, including detailed decapitation and dismemberment. It also said players could carry cocaine in their inventory and use it directly, and described nudity, scenes of intercourse and interactive private dances at nightclubs. These details have circulated in reproductions of the listing, but the original page cannot now be checked, and Rockstar Games and PEGI have not confirmed the descriptions in the material reviewed. Other ratings provide support for the game’s broad mature-content profile, but do not establish those specific mechanics. The Entertainment Software Rating Board lists Grand Theft Auto VI as M for Mature 17, with descriptors including intense violence, nudity, strong sexual content, and drug and alcohol use.
