What research says
In March 2020 the American Psychological Association said there is not enough scientific evidence to support a causal link between violent video games and violent behavior. It did find a small link between violent games and aggression, such as yelling or pushing, which is not the same as violence.
The same debate came up around GTA V in 2013. Every GTA game carries a mature rating; GTA 6 is rated ESRB M and PEGI 18.
