A hastily deleted PEGI rating for Grand Theft Auto 6 dropped more specifics on graphic violence and drug mechanics than Rockstar has shown in any trailer. The document, which appeared briefly on the ratings board’s site before vanishing, described violence as “bloody with a high degree of realism” and noted that certain weapons enable “detailed decapitation and dismemberment.” Drug use was labeled “frequent and prominent,” with players able to consume illegal substances directly from their inventory, including cocaine snorted “directly from their hand at any time.”

The same listing flagged strong sexual themes including “nudity, scenes of intercourse and occasional scenes of sexual fetishes,” plus a strip club minigame allowing players to “pay for private dances” and interact physically with dancers. These details exceed standard rating boilerplate and suggest Rockstar is leaning harder into interactive adult systems than in prior entries. The page was pulled the same day it went live, leaving only screenshots and reports from outlets that captured the text.

Community reaction on X has been a mix of excitement and skepticism about how these mechanics will actually play. Some posts celebrate the return of unfiltered GTA chaos, while others note the rating board’s unusual level of specificity compared to the more general ESRB Mature classification. The game is still slated for a November 19 console launch, and the deleted PEGI entry now serves as the most detailed public preview of its mature content boundaries.
