The board voted on 18 October after an earlier tie over nudity in the game. Refusing a classification would have blocked its South Korean release.
South Korea’s ratings board, GCRB, voted 8–1 on 18 October to give GTA 6 an Adults Only classification. The decision followed a tied vote in which members had considered refusing to classify the game, an outcome that would have blocked its release in South Korea.
The minutes were obtained by InvenGlobal and described by IGN. They show that the dispute centered on male genital nudity outside a sexual context, which some members said warranted refusal.
Rockstar applied for a rating on 1 September. At the September 10 vote, three members favored refusal and three favored an Adults Only rating. The committee deferred its decision while it waited for a playable build.
The committee received the build on 28 September. It postponed its review from 2 October to 8 October and then to 18 October to allow more time to examine the game.
A September 2025 rule revision changed the nudity criterion. Previously, even a suggestion of nudity could bring an Adults Only rating; the revised wording covers “cases where suggestive bodily exposure is directly and specifically depicted.”
The approved classification carries five content descriptors: sensuality, violence, crime, drugs and language. GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
The Television and Radio Commission said the broadcaster began Green Book without a smoking-health warning, although the film contained smoking scenes.
