New Versions of Grand Theft Auto 5 Remove Transphobic Content
The lifespan of Grand Theft Auto 5 has now stretched out through three console generations. In that time, the game has largely stayed the same, outside of any additions to Grand Theft Auto Online, which has attributed to its prolonged lifespan. In that time, society has evolved outside of the game. Some jokes or gags have become insensitive and developers become more aware of deliberately or unconsciously creating offensive content in games. 10 years after the development cycle of Grand Theft Auto 5, some of the game's background dressing and NPCs have been updated and altered to address some jokes that haven't aged well.
