Deleted PEGI listing reportedly describes decapitation and drug use in GTA 6
PC Gamer reports that a briefly published PEGI rating for Grand Theft Auto VI mentioned 'detailed decapitation' and 'frequent and prominent' drug use before it was taken down.
According to PC Gamer, a PEGI age rating for Grand Theft Auto VI appeared online and was then quickly deleted. Before it disappeared, the listing reportedly included content descriptors outlining some of the game's more mature material.
The rating is said to mention 'detailed decapitation' and drug use described as 'frequent and prominent.' It also reportedly states that protagonists Jason and Lucia can snort cocaine 'directly from their hand at any time.'
Rockstar Games has not confirmed these details, and it is unclear why the listing was removed so quickly. The available information also does not say when it was published or what final rating the game received.
Mature content would not surprise long-time fans of the series, which has built its reputation on adult themes. Still, a rating listing offers only a brief outline of what the game contains. Players should treat these descriptions as reported rather than official until Rockstar or PEGI addresses the listing.
