This is not family friendly.

Overview

The video creator argues that GTA 6’s Australian rating may be unusually strict—potentially making it the first game in Australia to receive an X 18+ designation. The creator suggests this would indicate content involving explicit sexual activity, as defined by the Australian ratings board, rather than just general adult themes.

Key Points Raised

• The creator frames the video as explicitly “not family friendly,” claiming they set out to play GTA 6 without self-censoring.
• They reference a PlayStation Store advertisement stating that GTA 6 (Ultimate Edition) is rated “X 18+” in Australia, which they interpret as a step up from GTA 5’s R 18+ rating.
• They explain that adult-only ratings exist, comparing them to the US ESRB system (e.g., C/E/T/M and adult-only concepts). They claim “adults only” ratings can reduce sales because many retailers may refuse to carry such titles.
• They use GTA: San Andreas as an example, noting it was reportedly temporarily changed to AO (Adults Only) due to the “Hot Coffee” mini-game discovered via mods/cheats, then restored to M after Rockstar removed the content.
• They compare Australia’s R 18+ vs X 18+:
  • R 18+: described as restricted to adults due to high-impact themes.
  • X 18+: described as involving explicit activity between consenting adults.
• The creator speculates that while government/legal standards often tolerate violence, sexual content may be regulated more tightly—so an “X” game would be surprising and potentially unprecedented in Australia.
• They claim X 18+ in Australia is typically used for movies, not games, and that GTA 6 might be the first game to receive it.
• They contrast this with Cyberpunk 2077, which they say is rated R in Australia. They then question what GTA 6 would need to include to justify an X rating, especially if Cyberpunk allegedly has similarly broad adult content.
• They address a likely audience concern: whether an Australian X 18+ rating would affect availability elsewhere (e.g., in the US). They express confusion about Australia allegedly becoming more restrictive.
• The creator ends by shifting to commentary and anticipation of public reaction, including hopes for discussion around “Hot Coffee”–type content and jokes about the controversy.
