GTA VI will feature an age verification in Australia

Not all Australian players will be able to purchase GTA VI when it is released on November 19, 2026. This is because a law introduced in the country this year will require customers to confirm their age before checking out.

Since the game is restricted to those 18 and older (R18+ rating), Grand Theft Auto VI will be subject to the strictest controls. Anyone wishing to purchase it will have to confirm their age by providing a form of identification. Furthermore, in the event of violations for non-compliance, Rockstar Games could face civil penalties of up to $49.5 million per violation. Needless to say, that amount could add up very quickly.

This requirement will apply to the single-player experience of GTA VI, as well as to the multiplayer mode, which will be released later.
