GTA 6 Almost Blocked in South Korea Ahead of Launch
With Grand Theft Auto VI just days away from its November 19 release, leaked meeting documents from South Korea’s Game Content Rating Board (GCRB) revealed the blockbuster nearly suffered a classification refusal. Rather than violence or drug depictions, board members deadlocked over frequent “out-of-context” male genital nudity in early review footage. After examining a full playable build and weighing the pressure of being the only territory to ban the year’s biggest game, the board ultimately passed GTA 6 with an Adults Only rating by an 8-to-1 vote.
