GTA 6 Was Almost Refused Classification In South Korea For Featuring Too Many ‘Out-Of-Context’ Penises

Grand Theft Auto 6 came very close to being denied an age rating in South Korea, which would have effectively resulted in Rockstar Games’ release being banned in the country. But what could have possibly led the Game Content Rating Board to consider such a measure? Was it the drug use? Something gambling-related, maybe?

Nope. In the words of GCRB’s committee members, it was because GTA 6 features too much “out-of-context genital nudity” and a whole lot of “frequent male genital exposure.” These quotes come directly from three separate GCRB reviews of GTA 6’s content, as outlined and translated in a report from Inven Global.

According to Inven Global’s investigation, GCRB’s initial September 10 review ended in a tie, with three committee members voting in favor of refusing the game classification. Because the other three voters wished to classify GTA 6 as an “Adults Only” title in South Korea (a 19+ rating), a second vote was held on October 2.

However, the GCRB’s second vote was inconclusive, with committee members citing the lack of a fully playable build of GTA 6 as the reason. But by October 16, another vote took place, this time passing the game with an Adults Only rating by eight to one. Three more people showed up this time, it seems. And why did the mood change so much? It appears the previous rulings had been based on leaked footage showing Jason running around in the buff .
