GTA 6's Missing Data Suggests It Might Be Censored In Certain Regions

Pre-loading for GTA 6 has begun. That means you can put the game on your console right now; you’re just not allowed to play it yet. It also means people who know how to do so can take a peek inside some of the GTA 6 files, and they’ve quickly discovered something interesting.

Actually, they’ve discovered something interesting is missing. Tex2 has listed GTA 6’s PlayGo chunk metadata (thanks, VGC). PlayGo is effectively the PlayStation equivalent of Xbox Smart Delivery, splitting the data into chunks so that those chunks can then be divvied up depending on what a particular system needs.

It’s largely used to divide up what’s needed for last-gen and current-gen versions of the same game. However, it can also be used to remove certain elements of a game in select regions. That appears to be what has happened here, and Tex2 points out that one of those chunks is missing from GTA 6’s metadata in Australia and New Zealand.

GTA 6’s metadata is split into three categories: story, minigame, and core. It’s a core section that has been omitted from the version of GTA 6 being sold Down Under, which suggests it's something out in the game’s massive open world that will be missing.

The size of the missing chunk is small, just 704 KB. Hard to believe there’s anything that small in a game that’s now confirmed to need more than 200 GB of free space , no matter where you plan to play it.
