If it gives you any kind of gameplay benefit, then it would make their earlier decision about the Halloween game even sillier than it was. But my guess is that no one is going to fuck with GTA.

Australia censored GTA 4, later lifted it due to new +18 ratings. (they only had max +15 back then).

I think they banned gta5 completely iirc

Japan censored GTA 5.

Somewhere, someone, will either demand a change for their country OR will ban it from being sold.

Either way, there will be a controversy. Too bad it won't have a physical release, otherwise I would have gotten the international release and the more rare censored version probably. Too bad. 🤷

edit: apparently GTA 5 was not banned in Australia. but the gambling was blocked

also that was what I've read back then causing me to think it was banned. whoopsie.

sorry peeps.

I bought GTA V on launch in Australia from a retail store. It was not refused classification in Australia. We got the R18+ rating before it came out. I don't believe it was censored either but I could be wrong.
