Grand Theft Auto 6’s website updated earlier today, but there wasn’t a new trailer like some had hoped for.
Instead, we got a bit of a sneak peek into what to expect from the title (sort of) from its ESRB tag, now added to Rockstar Games footer at the bottom of the web page. Can you believe it’s rated M for Mature?!
The listing is exactly the same as Grand Theft Auto 5’s, down to the same exact wording:
The full rating summary, where ESRB lists all sorts of spoilery details about how it came to the conclusion of what it rated the game is still yet to be added to the ESRB website. That’s sure to come before launch. But for now, we can expect a whole lot more of the same when it comes to GTA 6 that we got in GTA 5.
“Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs and Alcohol,” the rating says. Yep, that sure sounds like a GTA game. None of this is at all surprising, but I’m sure many will be happy to see the franchise sticking to its guns when it comes to its themes.
But you know what? I hope they lean even more heavily into the satire, crude humor, and ridiculousness GTA is known for than any are expecting, especially with how gaming companies are afraid of offending people. Screw it. The world is a clown show circus as it is. If you’re going to lampoon Miami (and Earth) as we know it, ratchet up the craziness more than ever. The game can’t get any more ridiculous than America currently is, right? Right?!
Car chases, firearms, strip clubs, over-the-top and outlandish characters, rampant crime at all levels of society, sex galore, foul and offensive language…no, not GTA 6. I’m talking about real life. Now let’s get even weirder.
GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on Nov. 19, and I hope to report some really stupid stuff within it as soon as I can play it.
