Events concerning the Grand Theft Auto series in 2005

March 24

Production of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was suspended and the game received a revised ESRB Rating of Adults Only.

The (OFLC) Office of Film and Literature Classification (Australia) revoked Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "MA15+" classification (the highest currently available for computer games in Australia), and changed the game's status to "RC" (Refused Classification) meaning that the original version could no longer be sold in Australia

Rockstar Games officially released a patch for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Nicknamed the "Cold Coffee Patch" by some, the patch fixed many performance issues and bugs. However, the most major addition was that the patch disabled the controversial "Hot Coffee" scenes, even if the "Hot Coffee" mod was reinstalled.

Rockstar announced a mandatory recall for all Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas games still owned by the general public. Consumers who had already purchased the game were allowed to keep it in certain areas, but with the patch installed.

New patched version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released and given an "MA15+" classification in Australia
