Renowned insider and dataminer Tez2 has discovered references to age verification in the latest GTA Online update. If implemented, unverified players may face limited access to certain features.
Reportedly, Rockstar Games is introducing this system in response to the UK's Online Safety Act, which mandates age verification for access to online content. Without proper verification, players could lose access to various multiplayer features — including in-game chat and Snapmatic. According to the dataminer, the new rules may take effect soon, although it's still unclear whether they will apply outside the UK.
As a reminder, GTA Online recently launched a new weekly event featuring bonuses and rewards.
