Grand Theft Auto 6 was never exactly going to be mistaken for a children’s game, but a briefly published PEGI rating has apparently revealed just how far Rockstar is pushing the adult content this time around. The PEGI 18 rating appeared on the European ratings board’s website before being removed, but not before its unusually detailed description was captured and reported by multiple outlets.
According to the now-deleted PEGI description (as spotted first by GamesRadar), GTA 6 features “strong graphic violence, strong sexual themes, and use of illegal drugs.” The violence apparently goes considerably further than simply leaving a few bullet holes and blood splatters behind, with PEGI describing realistic violence that can include detailed decapitation and dismemberment caused by certain weapons.
Drug use is also described as “frequent and prominent”, with players reportedly able to carry illegal substances in their inventory and use them directly. The rating specifically claims that cocaine can be carried by the player and consumed directly from their hand at any time. That’s certainly one way to make the inventory system more interesting.
The same listing reportedly mentioned scenes of intercourse, occasional sexual fetishes, and interactive private dances at nightclubs. Players can apparently pay for these dances and interact with performers, adding another decidedly adult layer to GTA 6’s already enormous open world.
It’s worth stressing that the detailed PEGI page has been removed, so these specific gameplay descriptions should be treated as reported information rather than a fresh Rockstar announcement. The broader picture is independently supported, though: the ESRB has officially rated GTA 6 Mature 17+ for blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong sexual content, and drug and alcohol use. Australia’s official classification also gives the game an R18+ rating for high-impact violence, sex scenes, and drug use.
None of this is exactly shocking for Grand Theft Auto, a series that has built much of its identity around violence, sex, drugs and generally questionable life choices. But the level of detail reportedly included in the PEGI listing suggests GTA 6 could be considerably more explicit and mechanically involved than previous entries. With the game still scheduled for November 19, 2026, Rockstar clearly isn’t planning to let Vice City become a particularly wholesome holiday destination.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
