What is particularly occurring in accordance with different rules and avoid the impact of minors in the content of the game, which is rigid and language regarding the use of drugs.
So far, the Grand Auto series has just considered the classic question about the date of birth when accessing its contents. Any player can overcome this filter indicating the age chord without serious control of the company.
However recent rules such as the UK security law require much more than The main form is to ensure that minors do not access inappropriate titles for their age.
Different leaks associated with the respected Dataminer Tez2 have shown that Rockstar is already testing a much more strict age check system Designed for the first premiere in GTA on the Internet and adjust to new European recommendations.
This measure, in principle, limited on the Internet, can be implemented as soon as a new multiplayer version of the expected GTA VI is launched.
As they assumed, the company would strive to move “to any dispute or legitimate change in different markets before GTA VI launch,” Submission of possible regulatory scenarios of the future and the compulsion of the great franchise video games to change access practice.
The new system will mean that users must confirm their age by using official documents recognized by the state.

News, though still officially confirmed by Rockstar, This caused discomfort among many players to provide personal documents by large technology companies.
Most of the concern does not revolve strictly throughout age or minors, but about the transfer of private data and the impact of the real identity of the international company.
The filtration itself acknowledges the disruption: “We don’t talk about a simple form with the date of birth, but it seems that Rockstar will require even a true identity check.”
