Overview

• Leaked preview images posted by Tez2 reveal a new in-game prompt requiring players to verify their age before accessing GTA Online features.
• The roll-out is set to begin in the United Kingdom to comply with the government’s Online Safety Act, which imposes age checks on content deemed unsuitable for minors.
• Players under 18 will be blocked from GTA Online while adults must complete an age assurance process to retain access.
• Rockstar Games and parent Take-Two Interactive have not publicly confirmed the leaked plans described by insiders.
• Discussions are under way about extending age verification beyond the UK, potentially affecting user engagement and future revenue projections.
