Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 has received an X 18+ rating in Australia, according to reports from the classification board. Industry analysis suggests the rating may be a classification error rather than an official designation.
The X 18+ classification in Australia is typically reserved for content deemed unsuitable for general audiences due to extreme material. GTA titles have historically received different ratings across territories, with Australian classifications often differing from other regions.
Experts reviewing the rating believe it may have been applied incorrectly during the review process. If confirmed as an error, the classification would likely be reconsidered and potentially adjusted.
The rating discrepancy matters for Australian players because it could affect the game’s official availability and age restrictions in the region upon launch.
