While the rating is confirmed, it is not known if the Japanese version of GTA 6 will require content changes to match the standards of other regions. Previous entries in the series underwent changes for the Japanese market to comply with CERO rules, such as removing dismemberment, decapitation, or certain sexual animations. CERO maintains strict prohibitions on explicit sexual acts, exposed sexual organs, and extreme mutilation regardless of a game's specific age rating.
