GTA 6 may be censored in Japan on PS5

Grand Theft Auto VI is launching worldwide next week, closing out a 13-year wait since the previous entry, but players in Japan may end up with a modified version of the game, Eurogamer reports.

Why Japan may get a different version

The speculation comes from two details surrounding the Japanese release. The game's install size in Japan appears to be smaller than elsewhere, and its rating information lacks the "strong sexual content" descriptor that other regions carry. Both points suggest content could have been cut or altered for the Japanese market, though nothing has been officially confirmed by Rockstar or its publisher.

About Grand Theft Auto VI

Grand Theft Auto VI is an action-adventure game and the next mainline entry in Rockstar's blockbuster open-world crime series. It launches on PS5, with the standard edition available on MegaGame for $49.00. The game's release date is November 19, 2026.

For PlayStation players, the big picture is unchanged: GTA 6 is nearly here after more than a decade of waiting, and PS5 is one of the platforms where it will be playable. Japanese players, however, may want to keep an eye on official word regarding exactly what differs in their version before deciding where to buy.
