Summary
PEGI and U.S. ratings for GTA 6 are now live, confirming the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S game will launch with 18+ and Mature classifications on Nov. 19, 2026.
PEGI says the game features frequent, prominent drug use — including cocaine that players can carry and snort — alongside nudity, sexual intercourse, sexual fetishes and strip-club interactions.
Violence is described as frequent and highly realistic, with players able to attack civilians, criminals and police; some weapons can cause detailed decapitation and dismemberment.
The rating also flags animal killings, strong profanity including "fuck" and "cunt," and discriminatory language in in-game TV shows and radio.
The latest disclosures expand on earlier ratings-board notices about sex scenes and intercourse, offering the clearest official picture yet of GTA 6's mature content.
