What do the ratings tell you about the game?
The rating labels identify age and content information. They do not document specific missions, activities or gameplay systems. Use the gameplay reference for supported feature evidence and the story guide for Rockstar's premise.
Other regional ratings have not been verified for this page. ESRB and the UK storefront label should not be presented as a worldwide classification or as proof of an unannounced platform version.
