GTA Online has been a prominent game in the world of Rockstar titles for a long time, but with the imminent arrival of GTA 6 and its possible online counterpart, GTA Online is reaching the horizon slowly. Catch Rani Rampal’s inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. GTA Online is one of the most popular titles in the world, and the fun doesn’t stop despite being released over a decade ago. Leveraging age verification means a huge number of players under a specific age bracket won’t be able to play the game or access most of the important in-game features.
However, now that might stop for millions of players around the globe as Rockstar Games is reportedly adding a controversial feature to the game. Now, this highly disputed feature might well put the final nail in the coffin for the game. As per credible industry insider and leaker Tez2, Rockstar Games will soon implement an age verification system in GTA Online. If this system makes it into the game, players will then have to verify their age to access GTA Online. Not only that, the leaker has also claimed that upon unsuccessful verification, certain features in the game like phone messages, text chat, Snapmatic, and others might be restricted as well. All of these claims seem to be coming from some datamined in-game files which were supposedly accessed by the leaker. However, further details of this age verification system is still unknown, like the particular age bracket, locations, and other implications. Now, it’s a no-brainer that this feature would erupt serious controversy in the community. Although, it was quite evident Rockstar would implement such a feature in the game, keeping in mind GTA Online’s highly violent and explicit content, which might not be suitable for all the age groups.
