UPDATE October 2, 2026, 11:39 a.m. PT: PEGI has seemingly updated its website to remove the age rating for GTA 6.
The PEGI 18 page – which, as viewed by IGN, included what appeared to be new details about GTA 6 – is no longer available. In its place is a blank listing that says, "The requested page could not be found." Users on X/Twitter have captured and shared an image of the listing and have continued to share its contents across social media. IGN has reached out to PEGI for comment.

ORIGINAL STORY: GTA 6 has received an age rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.
The update, which can be found on the Pan European Game Information board's website, gives players a relatively in-depth description of Rockstar Games' megaton video game ahead of its launch in November. The PEGI 18 rating arrives just one day after GTA 6 received its official ESRB rating, which, also unsurprisingly, resulted in an "M for Mature."
GTA 6's rating describes a story that allows players to take control of "Jason Duval or Lucia Caminos, two criminals who become involved in a criminal conspiracy following a failed robbery." It adds that they'll work together as "they become increasingly entangled in criminal activities" in Vice City, with gameplay that, as we've already seen, is par for the course when it comes to Grand Theft Auto.
What's different about GTA 6 is the unprecedented detail Rockstar has shoved into the game, with previous footage showing off an open-world sandbox with enough activities to make up for the 13-year wait. PEGI dived into that, too, but there are still even more new highlights to go over.
The board described the game's violence as "bloody with a high degree of realism." Some weapons will be more brutal than others, with some said to be "able to cause greater damage, such as detailed decapitation and dismemberment." This time around, Rockstar has made drug use "frequent and prominent," with players able to partake in illicit substances. Cocaine is said to be especially important in Vice City, with the rating promising that Jason and Lucia will be able to use the substance directly from their inventory, as it can be "snorted directly from their hand at any time."
