Grand Theft Auto 6 is the worst-kept secret right now. And although Rockstar has not officially revealed it yet, the game has been rated MA15+ on the Australian Classification Board.
According to the rating, GTA 6 will feature Strong Sex Scenes and Strong Drug Use. And, from what we can see, the game has been rated in April 2023.
From what we know so far, Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature two main protagonists (a male and a female). In September 2022, the first gameplay videos for it were leaked online. In the same month, a hacker got access to the game’s source code and shared 10K lines of code. And that was the last time we heard anything about this title.
So, one of the reasons we shared this rating is because this is the next big evidence of GTA 6’s existence. Okay okay, as we said, this is the worst-kept secret. So we all know that Grand Theft Auto 6 is underway. The big question is when it will come out.
For what it’s worth, Grand Theft Auto 5 was rated R18+. On the other hand, all the previous GTA games were rated MA15+. So, it remains to be seen whether GTA 6 will be as mature as the previous games.
Rumor has it that Rockstar may officially reveal GTA 6 later this month. And while this sounds possible, we suggest taking it with a grain of salt. Thus, if this latest rumor does not materialize, you won’t feel disappointed.
It will be interesting to see whether Grand Theft Auto 6 will release alongside its console versions on PC. All the recent GTA titles have skipped the PC at launch. Not only that but the GTA 5 Remastered never came out on PC. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if GTA 6 is initially announced for consoles.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
As with all rumors, we always suggest taking them with a grain of salt. And, upon further examination, it appears that this isn’t a legitimate leak/rumor.
If we take a look at the previous official GTA ratings, we can see that all their titles are in capitals. Similarly, Rockstar (which is listed as a developer) is also capitalized. And, since there are numerous fake ratings for all sorts of GTA games on that board, we can safely say that this is a fake rumor. In other words, this is a nothing-burger. So, it will be interesting to see whether GTA 6 will have an R18+ or an MA15+ rating.
