There have been a few rumours circling the internet that might suggest otherwise, but is there anything to them? Let\u2019s take a deep dive on the GTA 6 age rating.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>GTA 6 age rating explained: Which age rating does it have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s almost a tradition with Grand Theft Auto games that they\u2019ll be an ultra violent affair. Along with its themes of crime and gang violence, it also gives us the opportunity to go on a rampage like that of Michael Douglas in Falling Down.<\/p>\n<p>So, we can be certain it\u2019s going to carry an 18 certificate, right? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6342161071112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p>Well, a couple of months ago, the Australian rating board supposedly listed the game as 15+.<\/p>\n<p>This surprised everyone, because that would make GTA 6 the first in the series not to be given the highest possible rating. It would also mean the title would take a huge U-turn in its themes and content.<\/p>\n<p>However, this rating soon turned out to be fake. It wasn\u2019t put up by Rockstar, but by an imitation account.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, <strong>we don\u2019t know what the rating for GTA 6 will be<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer opens with a \u201cmay contain content inappropriate for children\u201d warning from ESRB, but no age rating for the game itself.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll update this page as soon as we know for sure what the rating is. However, we\u2019re almost certain it\u2019s not going to be family friendly.<\/p> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
