GTA 6's 18+ age rating reveals Lucia and Jason can partake in drug use "directly from their inventory" and "at any time"
A leaked PEGI age rating for GTA 6 reveals that the game will feature explicit drug use and sexual content, including the ability for players to consume drugs directly from their inventory. The rating also confirms high levels of realistic violence and dismemberment.
Why it matters
As one of the most anticipated entertainment products in history, the content rating provides insight into the game's mature themes and technical design choices.
Grand Theft Auto 6 recently received a PEGI 18+ age rating that was uploaded and then quickly deleted from the Pan European Game Information board's website, but not before fans saved and then shared details from the listing.
Most of PEGI's description covers what you'd expect from a Grand Theft Auto game. There's murder, robberies, gun crime, other illegal shenanigans and lots of swears. What's new in this sixth numbered GTA is the free usage of hard drugs, apparently.
"Drug use is frequent and prominent with the player being able to partake in drug use with others and to use illegal drugs directly from their inventory," the now-deleted rating stated. "Most notably, cocaine can be carried around by the player and snorted directly from their hand at any time."
