Rockstar Censors GTA 6 Extended Look Trailer for China
Rockstar Games has published a heavily censored version of the Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look reveal for China.
Rockstar Games has released a heavily edited version of the Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look trailer for China. The studio's 27-minute gameplay reveal, shared on Chinese platform Bilibili last week, has had significant portions blurred out, including dancing, drug-related, and sexual content. Scenes involving protagonists Jason and Lucia at a nightclub and Jason smoking are rendered into purple blurs.
While most corpses remain visible, close-ups of bloodied bodies have been entirely censored. This is not the original upload; Rockstar altered the video around August 31. The reason for the changes remains unclear, though some speculate it's to prevent younger viewers from seeing the content, while others believe it reflects bias from Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive.
Rockstar and Take-Two have issued DMCA takedowns for those reposting the unblurred version on Bilibili. Despite the censorship, GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, with new controllers and additional screenshots already released.
