ESRB reach a decision

Take-2 have announced the conclusion of the ESRB investigation concerning the hidden sex scenes in GTA San Andreas. The rating on all platforms was changed from “Mature 17+” (M) to “Adults Only 18+.”

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) announced today that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has changed the rating of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on all platforms from “Mature 17+” (M) to “Adults Only 18+” (AO) because of the so-called “hot coffee mod,” an unauthorized third party modification that alters the retail version of the game. Take-Two cooperated fully with the ESRB’s investigation.

Rockstar Games will be making available shortly a downloadable software patch to render Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC impervious to the “hot coffee” modification. Rockstar encourages parent groups and political leaders to assist with distribution of the patch to prevent the content of the modification from spreading further.
