The screenshot release did not arrive alone. Rating labels for several regions also went live on the official Grand Theft Auto VI website and on store pages, with the North American ESRB entry carrying an M rating for ages 17 and up. That places the game in the same bracket prior major Grand Theft Auto entries received from the board. European ratings including France, handled by PEGI, are listed at 18.
The descriptors attached to the North American rating name Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs and Alcohol, and In-Game Purchases. Australian and New Zealand PlayStation Store pages carry a Sex Scenes label, and the Japanese CERO rating for the game is still listed as under review. What that means for how content is handled in the Japanese release is not settled by any of the current labels.
