GTA 6 fans already concerned game will be banned in some countries

The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most popular in the video game industry of all time and excitement is through the roof with the upcomingGTA VI.

Check out the GTA VI trailer below!

It’s fair to say that when the next entry in theGrand Theft Autoseries releases, it’s going to smash even more records across the globe. Sadly, however, some fear that they might not be able to playGTA VI, and we’re not just talking about those who will still beplaying on last-gen consoles.

Whatever the reasons may be, typically related to violence and sexualised themes, some video games can get heavily censored in some countries or worse, outright banned. To this day, I’ve still not forgiven Germany for censoring a Randy Marsh alien scene inSouth Park: The Stick of Truthin 2014. Because Germany censored this scene and is part of the EU, all other countries in the EU had the same section censored. Thankfully, however, there was at least the option to import from the US.

Some of the most infamously banned games in some countries includeManhunt,Mortal KombatandDead Rising 2to name a few. What’s more, some Arab countries have an extended list of banned games, and one prominent banned series is the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto.

I would say that ifGrand Theft Auto VIwere to be banned in some countries, hopefully, while not ideal, much likeSouth Park: The Stick of Truth, it could at least be censored. That being said, ifGTA VIwere to be censored, so much of the game would probably be cut, there wouldn’t be much of it left over.

Grand Theft Auto VIwill be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. At this time, a PC release hasn’t been announced.
