Grand Theft Auto 6 reportedly secured an Adults Only rating in South Korea after reviewers debated whether frequent genital nudity warranted refusing classification. Insider Gaming, citing Inven Global, reports that the final committee voted 8–1 for the adult rating after two postponements. Source
The first review, on September 10, was considerably less decisive: three votes for Adults Only and three for refusal. The central concern was what the report describes as “out-of-context genital nudity.” This wasn’t a debate about putting GTA in the children’s aisle. The adult rating itself was on the line. Source
Insider Gaming reproduces this remark from a member during the initial review:
It is not that genital exposure is completely forbidden, but it has never appeared this frequently without context. Source
During the second review, another member reportedly complained of “far too much genital exposure.” A classification meeting is a wonderfully bureaucratic setting for that particular sentence. Source
According to the report, reviewers received a playable build more than two weeks after the initial review. The second review was delayed to allow for “sufficient gameplay examination,” with the decision eventually reached at a third meeting by a nine-member committee. Source
After examining the build, reviewers reportedly established that the scenes involving genital exposure did not feature sexual interaction. That doesn’t rule it out elsewhere in GTA 6. Source
Whether Rockstar modified the game during classification remains unclear. A successful vote isn’t a certificate that every last pixel survived untouched. Source
