GTA 6 may be censored in Australia and other regions, dataminer suggests

A dataminer says the Australian and New Zealand pre-load of Grand Theft Auto 6 is missing a small data chunk, raising the possibility that those versions contain modified content. The finding is based on a comparison of files, and does not establish what the missing material is or why it is absent.

The PlayStation 5 game data is split into 32 chunks, including one called “core_restofworld001” that is about 704 KB; the dataminer says it is missing from the Australia and New Zealand version. A separate “core_restofworld” chunk is around 1.28 GB and was suggested as possibly relating to regional censorship, likely in Japan. Australia has previously received modified versions of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, while another game, Halloween: The Game, was refused classification.
