Rockstar Games Preparing to Start Age Verification for GTA Online

According to reliable sources, there has been a new development in the world of GTA. The highly anticipated GTA 6 game is set to release next year in multiple modes, and it will come with restrictions for underage gamers. While the Story mode will be exclusively available to buyers with a set amount of hours dedicated to the story, the new Online open world will be accessible almost instantly to the audience.

But, with the adult content in mind, Rockstar Games is set to impose restrictions on certain content. According to reliable sources, Rockstar will soon start screening the gamers and will require identity proof to qualify for the adult content in the game. This means that people underage might only be able to access Limited Gore and other characters, such as various sex workers in the game.

While some others were confused by the move. @rockstationonx asked,

The answer to this might be because, while they do have your console's data, it is not totally verified, as anyone can make an account with fake details that generally don't need any verification. Whereas in the new Rockstar screening, the players might have to add genuine proof like a College ID, school ID, or some primary source of information.
