GTA VI Is Slightly Smaller in Japan and Australia, Raising Censorship Questions, Dexerto Reports
About 1.2 GB smaller in Japan and a tiny chunk missing in Australia and New Zealand, by dataminers’ counts. Take-Two has not explained why.
Reported — Dexerto reported on November 11 on file-size differences that Game*Spark and dataminers found in the store listings. Rockstar and Take-Two have not commented.
Game*Spark found the Japanese PS5 build at about 208.7 GB, against about 209.9 GB elsewhere, with a similar gap on Xbox. In Australia and New Zealand, a dataminer says one small data chunk, about 700 KB, is missing.
Fans read that as cut content for those regions. Japan’s CERO Z rating also carries no sexual-content icon, and South Korea’s board nearly refused a rating over nudity.
The limit of this story: the files stay encrypted until November 19, so nobody can yet say what, if anything, is different. A smaller download is not proof of censorship.
