Grand Theft Auto VI has an age rating ahead of its November 19, 2026 launch: M for Mature (17+) from the ESRB.

The rating

  • United States (ESRB): Mature 17+. Reports say it appeared on Rockstar's website in early October; an earlier May report said a Sony email had shown the rating before any announcement.
  • Europe (PEGI): 18, according to press coverage.
  • A Korean outlet reported an adults-only classification there in October.

Descriptors

Outlets list the content descriptors slightly differently. The ones reported consistently are blood and gore, intense violence, mature humor, nudity and strong language. One report adds strong sexual content and the use of drugs and alcohol. Check the ESRB listing for the final wording.

Does it mean gone gold?

No

A rating is a regulatory step, not a statement that development is finished. We found no Rockstar announcement that the game has gone gold.
