GTA 6 ratings hint at explicit sex scenes, a first for the franchise

GTA 6 is slated for release in just over two months, and new age ratings from international boards suggest it may include explicit sex scenes, a first for the franchise. The game has received a Restricted 18 rating in New Zealand, matching Cyberpunk 2077, which features full-frontal nudity. The New Zealand rating is higher than the standard M rating and prohibits anyone under 18 from consuming the content, even with a guardian. The UK PS Store's PEGI 18 rating also includes a "sex" logo, while other regions have listed "sex scenes" in their descriptions, indicating more sexual content than previous GTA titles. While GTA V also received a Restricted 18 rating in New Zealand without sex scenes, the combination of these ratings and descriptions strongly suggests GTA 6 will feature explicit sexual content natively. This would mark a departure from the series, which previously only had such content via the unofficial Hot Coffee mod for GTA: San Andreas.
