GTA 6 receives PEGI 18 rating in Europe

Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has received a PEGI 18 rating in the PlayStation Store for the European region. This classification indicates the title is intended for adult players due to potential depictions of violence, sexual themes, gambling, or illegal substances.

In Australia, reports suggest the game may receive an X 18+ rating, which is a classification traditionally reserved for films and represents a higher threshold of explicit content than the R 18+ rating given to its predecessor. This follows discussions regarding the game's enhanced gore systems and mature content.

Rockstar Games is scheduled to release the title on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, featuring protagonists Lucia and Jason.
