According to reports, GTA VI nearly faced a refusal of classification during its rating review in South Korea, but was ultimately approved with an Adult rating. The focal point of the controversy was reportedly the frequent appearance of genital nudity without contextual justification.
The relevant review reportedly underwent three rounds of discussion. In an early vote, there were three members in favor of granting an Adult rating and three in favor of refusing classification; the subsequent decision was eight to one in favor of an Adult rating, allowing the game to avoid being banned from release in South Korea.
Reports also state that footage of Jason fully nude from the leaks did not make it into the final game, and sexual content will only appear in cutscenes, not as playable gameplay. This content has also been compared to the "Hot Coffee" incident in GTA: San Andreas.
Rating materials from other regions also indicate that this title may receive a higher age rating. In Europe, it is reported that detailed decapitation, dismemberment, and extensive drug content were listed, while the Australian listing included sexual scenes. Currently, the final outcome for GTA VI in South Korea remains an Adult rating with approval for release.
