GTA V is available in Saudi Arabia once again... but with a restriction

Back on July 4, Saudi Arabia announced the return of Grand Theft Auto V to its territory. The Rockstar Games game had been banned because of its violence and explicit sexual content. However, alternative, unofficial means of obtaining the game had been available for several years.

In any case, GTA V got officially released in the country on July 17. It has a +21 rating, which means it is forbidden to players under the age of 21. This is a relatively severe rating, unheard of anywhere else in the world. Note that the game has no translation, which has angered some Saudi users who don't understand English.
