GTA 6 store listings flag 'sex scenes' in age-rating notes
Grand Theft Auto VI's PlayStation Store pages warn players to expect "sex scenes".
The wording appears in the New Zealand and Australian listings. The UK listing uses slightly different language, "sexual content", alongside a symbol for "sex", Eurogamer.
The New Zealand page displays an R18 rating from the Office of Film and Literature Classification, New Zealand's age-ratings body. It lists five content descriptors: Drug Use, Graphic Violence, Nudity, Offensive Language and Sex Scenes, PlayStation Store.
The listings also show logos for ESRB, the North American ratings body, PEGI, its European counterpart, and the Australian Ratings Board. Those descriptions are not yet separately searchable on the boards' own websites.
That wording is new. The previous game, Grand Theft Auto V, warns of "sexual material", while the new listing says "sex scenes", Polygon.
Rockstar Games, the game's publisher, gives a release date announced as 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar Games. Pre-orders began on 25 June 2026. The game is set in the state of Leonida, home to the fictional Vice City, and follows two characters, Jason and Lucia.
The New Zealand listing describes it as a single-player experience with offline play enabled. It supports Remote Play, Sony's system for streaming a PlayStation 5 game to another device, and notes that in-game purchases are optional. An Ultimate Edition is listed.
A pre-order on PlayStation 5 includes one month of GTA+, a paid subscription with in-game perks and other benefits, at no extra cost. The offer ends on 19 November 2026 and must be redeemed by 31 March 2027.
Rockstar says the game features 34 original tracks built around Vice City and Leonida. The company is also selling a premium Collector's Box, titled The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection, inspired by a fictional in-world television show, Macca the Gator.
For fans, this means the ratings notes are a shopping guide, not a story reveal. They label what regulators saw, not how it plays.
