Resolution rules

Snapshot at November 18, 2026, 23:59 UTC, even if launch is delayed. Grade Rockstar's Australian GTA VI launch console game only, excluding GTA Online, PC, films, trailers, mods and unrelated titles. Use the Australian Classification register and official Board or Review Board decisions. Rockstar/platform information may corroborate identity, not override the Board. Authentic applicable IARC decisions count. Use the latest decision in force at the snapshot; for genuinely different launch console versions use the most restrictive rating: RC, R 18+, MA 15+, M, PG, G. Missing research, an inaccessible source or uncertain product identity requires deferred grading, not the no-classification outcome. Later access may verify the historical snapshot; later-issued decisions do not count. R 18+. GTA VI has an Australian R 18+ classification in force at the deadline. The latest qualifying decision in force at the snapshot is R 18+. Apply the version and source hierarchy in the resolution rules. MA 15+ or lower. GTA VI has an Australian MA 15+, M, PG or G classification in force at the deadline. The latest qualifying decision in force at the snapshot is MA 15+, M, PG or G. Apply the version and source hierarchy in the resolution rules. Refused Classification. GTA VI has an Australian RC decision in force at the deadline. The latest qualifying decision in force at the snapshot is Refused Classification. Apply the version and source hierarchy in the resolution rules. No confirmed classification. No qualifying Australian classification decision is publicly recorded by the deadline. No qualifying decision for Rockstar's Australian GTA VI console game is publicly recorded at the snapshot. This is the fallback when none of the above decisions exists, not when research or source access is incomplete. Defer grading for inaccessible sources or unresolved identity.
