The Choice is Ultimately in Parents’ Hands So this is definitely something parents will want to be aware of and consider. The community that plays GTA Online is broad and robust and includes players of all ages. It includes the expected content, but also the added “spice” of online interactions. GTA Online is a very different beast than the main game. It is very safe to assume that GTA 6 will include either GTA Online access OR access to a sequel to the smash hit online game. That kind of success isn’t something that Rockstar can ignore. In fact, “Shark Cash,” the game’s digital currency, generates more than $800 million annually. GTA 5 included GTA Online which has been one of the most prolific online games of the last decade. It does mean that all of the violence being done against you while playing the game will likewise be done to a woman. That is, admittedly, a big step for the franchise. Many parents are far more concerned about nudity and sexuality than they are about guns and violence.)Īnother detail from the Bloomberg report is that GTA6 will feature a Latina protagonist. (This is a pretty common thing in the US. This leads parents who are less concerned about violence to let the game slide. But, the sexual content is often either forgotten or isn’t even thought about at all. Parents often think of violence when they think about GTA games. One thing that I think is worth being called out separately is the sexual content. Sexual Content and Violence Against Women It was rated M for mature with the content descriptors “Blood and Gore,” “Intense Violence,” “Mature Humor,” “Nudity,” “Strong Language,” “Strong Sexual Content,” and “Use of Drugs and Alcohol.” That is quite the laundry list of mature descriptors. But, we can infer what the ESRB rating will be based on the rating information for GTA5. Grand Theft Auto 6 is still in development and doesn’t have a release date (or even a release window at this point.) That means we don’t have ESRB information about it yet. But I think it is more likely that it would be released in 2024. If the reveal comes before May 17th, then there is an outside chance that GTA6 could release this Fall ahead of the Holiday season. It is worth mentioning that a reveal wouldn’t necessarily mean that a release is imminent, but they could announce a release window. But fans are speculating that it will be announced before the next Take 2 Earnings call on May 17th. We don’t have anything even close to a release date. It is almost inevitable that they will ask for the game so we want to make sure you have all the information that you can so you can be prepared. And, more importantly, they’ll hear about it from other kids either at school, in sports, or on the bus. They will likely watch streams and YouTube videos. There won’t really be any way for you to avoid it.Īnd if you can’t avoid it, then your kids can’t either. It will be a major topic in every available form of media once it releases. GTAV is one of the best-selling games of all time. That tells us that an official announcement isn’t far off and the hype train for its launch will only start building from there. We also know that Rockstar Games, the developer behind the game, has all hands on deck developing it. Grand Theft Auto 6 Is Going to be EverywhereĪ recent report revealed that GTA6 is deep in development. Our goal is to provide as much information as we can about the content of the game so that you can make a real decision. So if you want to let them play, then by all means. You know your kids and your family better than any of us here at EFG do. I’ve said it before on Engaged Family Gaming content. That’s a lot of copies! And that means a lot of kids were playing it. The game was so popular that it sold over 11 million copies in its first week. GTA games have always been popular among kids and teens. GTA games are known for their violence, gore, and sexual content. In this blog post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about GTA6 (that we know so far) so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not it’s appropriate for your child. GTA6 is coming! And that means parents need to start paying attention.
