Summary:
- The video game Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) was banned for 12 years in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia due to its mature content, including violence and criminal activities.
- The game has now been re-rated as suitable for adults (21+) and has been approved for release in these countries.
- This change in rating and approval for release suggests that the authorities in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have become more open to allowing the sale of mature-rated video games, as long as they are restricted to adult audiences.
