According to Dexerto, Russia stated that if "GTA 6" does not delete "indecent content", the game may not be sold in Russia. According to reports, in an interview, senior Russian officials expressed strong dissatisfaction with the popularity of the "GTA" series and described it as "a dangerous tool of influence."
Relevant sources said: "The creators of "GTA6" deliberately included destructive and vulgar content in the work, which is completely unacceptable to the moral health of society. This includes plans to add male striptease scenes to the game, which is a direct and blatant violation of basic moral norms and traditional spiritual values."
Of course, his statement was based on previous leaks, saying: "Allowing the existence of such content is tantamount to negatively nourishing the younger generation." He also called on developers to "launch special versions for the Russian market that have been processed and cleaned of objectionable content."
In fact, this is not the first time that a modified version of the game has been released due to regional differences. For example, in 2023, the Pride Month event of “Overwatch 2” was banned in many Middle Eastern countries. It is unclear whether Rockstar will launch a "content-denied version" of "GTA6" according to different markets. But with the game less than a year away from release, the situation is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks and months.
