According to reports, R Star plans to introduce an age verification system for "GTA OL" before the release of "GTA 6", and players who have not completed verification will not be able to experience some content.The news comes from Tez2, a well-known R-star insider and data miner, whose code released shows that R-star has begun to develop this new feature.Although R Star has not issued any official statement on this, the official statement may appear at any time as the news is leaked.

The new leak originally appeared in a social media post.Tez2 revealed through the platform that R Star plans to implement a "age verification mechanism", and GTA OL players may need to verify their age in the future to use specific functions or content.If the age verification is not completed or has not passed, the relevant functions will be limited.

“R Star Program is gradually implementing an age verification system in regions in the near future,” the insider wrote. “Players may need to verify their age to enter GTA OL. Certain features—such as mobile phone text messages, text chats, Snapmatic photo functions—will be restricted before verification is completed.”

Tez2 said the system will be implemented in different regions, which means it may only be implemented in some regions in the early stage.But this is still speculation, and the specific scope is still unclear.

As of the time of publication, neither R Star nor its parent company Take-Two Interactive responded to the leaked news.Although the two companies have always declined to comment on rumors and revelations, given that the matter involves major policy adjustments, their usual "no comment" stance may be loose.Before the official confirmation, it is recommended to view the news carefully.

Considering that the GTA series contains adult content, this move may have a dual impact on players and R-stars.Some players will not be able to experience the full content, while others will be forced to participate in an identity verification process that may not be willing to do.This will inevitably affect the existing user base of the game and even affect the future market coverage of "GTA 6".
