GTA 6 age ratings published, with descriptors citing drug use, nudity and sexual fetishes

Push Square reports that official age ratings for GTA 6 have appeared, rating the game M in the US and 18+ in the UK, with content descriptors pointing to mature themes.

According to Push Square, official age ratings for Grand Theft Auto VI have now been published, a step that typically comes in the final stretch before a game reaches store shelves. The outlet ties the ratings to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game, which is slated to release on 19 November 2026.

The ratings themselves hold few surprises for a series known for adult content. Push Square reports that GTA 6 has been rated M for Mature in the United States and 18+ in the United Kingdom, in line with previous mainline entries.

The more notable part is the content descriptions attached to those ratings. Based on the report's headline, these descriptors reference drug use, nudity and sexual fetishes. Further detail on the exact wording of the descriptors was not included in the summary available to us.

Rating descriptors often offer some of the first formal outlines of what a game contains, but they are brief by nature and do not explain how or how often such content appears in play. Rockstar Games has not commented on the descriptors in the information we have seen.

For players tracking the countdown, the publication of age ratings is a sign that the November launch is drawing close.
