What to watch for
This game contains extreme violence, sexual content, pervasive strong language, and frequent substance references. The content is often trivialized or portrayed without consequences, and violence can be directed at defenseless characters. The open-world design can lead to extended, aimless play, and the competitive elements may foster toxicity and social comparison. The game's themes and mechanics promote antisocial behavior and glorify a life of crime, with no emphasis on positive social-emotional development.
