## Key points

- South Korea nearly refused to classify GTA 6.
- The board approved it Adults Only by an 8-1 vote.
- Male nudity without sexual context prompted debate.

## Summary

South Korea’s ratings board nearly refused to classify Grand Theft Auto 6 after members disagreed over male nudity shown without sexual context. The game was ultimately approved for release with an Adults Only rating, avoiding a refusal that would have blocked its sale in the country.

Rockstar applied for a rating on 1 September, and the board’s first vote on 10 September split evenly: three members supported refusal and three an Adults Only rating. After reviewing a playable build, the board voted 8-1 on 18 October for the Adults Only classification, with descriptors including sensuality, violence, crime, drugs and language. The dispute arose under revised South Korean rules on nudity; the game is due out on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
