What this means
No surprises here. Every mainline GTA since GTA 3 has been rated M. The rating is advice for parents, not a law, but most US retailers won't sell M-rated games to under-17s without an adult. In Europe, PEGI ratings for Rockstar's GTA games have been 18 in the past. We'll confirm GTA 6's PEGI rating once it's officially published.
For parents
GTA 6 is an adult crime game: graphic violence, sex scenes and drug use are part of it. If you're deciding whether it's right for your household, the ESRB's own summary on esrb.org has the most detail.
