Grand Theft Auto 4 includes masturbation and explicit sexual references

If you’re wondering just how hardcore Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) is going to be, you can take a look at the game’s information published by the BBFC. However, since the information was posted a bit too early, the BBFC had to take it down as per the organization’s policy. The good news is that we were able to save an excerpt from the post, which you can view in our full article.

It looks like the British Board of Film Classification gave everyone an accidental sneak peek at some of the more naughty features players can expect to see in Rockstar Games’ upcoming Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3).

The information posted on the BBFC site explained the game’s general theme and description, as well as revealed some of the more in-depth features which will make it once GTA 4 goes live. However, the information posted was recently removed due to a breach in the organization’s policy.

The BBFC explained that it had to take down the published information because of a policy of releasing the Extended Classification Information (ECI) for any game title more than 10 days before its scheduled release date. It was mentioned that the ECI will go back up on the BBFC website on April 19, in line with GTA 4‘s April 29 release date.

To give you an idea of how hardcore the upcoming title will be, here’s an excerpt of the deleted publishing information put up by the BBFC:

Sex references also occur during cut scenes, including references to strong sexual behaviour. During gameplay the character can pick up prostitutes and pay for three different levels of service. What follows is an un-detailed portrayal of masturbation, fellatio and intercourse. The character can also visit lap dancing clubs and request a private dance. While the game contains sexualised dancing and the portrayal of sex, there is no sexualised nudity.
