Kmart has now joined Target in pulling copies of GTA 5 from store shelves in Australia.
Yesterday, retailer Target decided to stop selling GTA 5 in Australia due to customer feedback about the game’s depiction of violence against women.
Kmart has today followed suit in deciding to no longer sell the game.
“Following a significant review of all content in Grand Theft Auto Games Kmart has taken the decision to remove this product immediately,” read a statement that was provided to KotakuAU. “Kmart apologises for not being closer to the content of this game.”
Following the statement, KotakuAU learned that GTA 4 and Episodes from Liberty City are also being removed by the store chain, according to a store representative.
Target also appears to be removing all copies of GTA, 4 and 5, despite only announcing the removal of the latter. An anonymous source told the site that earlier GTA games are being “stealth pulled” from the shelves.
