While players found "Hot Coffee" humorous, it led to San Andreas becoming embroiled in controversy. Modder Patrick Wildenborg released a patch to unlock the minigame two days later.
Data miners discovered evidence of explicit sexual content after San Andreas was released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004, and confirmed its existence when the Windows version was released on June 7, 2005.
The minigame could not be fully removed, so the content was hidden from players using cutscenes. Before development concluded, Rockstar operations director Jennifer Kolbe warned Houser that explicit sexual content would likely bring restrictive assessments from ratings boards, harming retail sales. "Hot Coffee" was included in San Andreas as part of the boundary-pushing vision that Rockstar North president Sam Houser had for the Grand Theft Auto games. When enabled, "Hot Coffee" allows players, as protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson, to have animated sexual intercourse with an in-game girlfriend. The minigame is not playable through normal means the game must be modded to access it. Rockstar eventually had to release a new version with the 'hot coffee' files fully removed." Hot Coffee" is an unofficial name for a minigame in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Take Two also had to cough up almost $20 million in legal costs. The 'hot coffee' controversy was a PR nightmare for Take Two, as it resulted in San Andreas being removed from a number of regions and even getting reclassified as an 'Adults Only' game. RELATED: GTA: The Trilogy Impressions: The Good, The Bad, And The Janky While we only got an external view of the house along with some muffled sounds, the Hot Coffee mod not only gave you a view of what was going on inside, but also the ability to control CJ's actions via a minigame. Rockstar noted that this was done in order to "remove files unintentionally included in these versions." Seems like we now know what these files could be.īack when San Andreas first came out, players discovered that after a few dates with his girlfriend, CJ would be invited over to their place for some coffee. Coincidentally, the Definitive Edition has been unavailable for PC players for the second day running. A recent datamine has reportedly revealed that data for the infamous cancelled sex mini-game can be found within the files of GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition.Īs spotted by VGC, a couple of dataminers found these files and put them up on Twitter for all to see. Of course, the term 'hot coffee' means something completely different for GTA San Andreas' CJ. Getting a nice hot coffee to start off your day is one of life's very few pleasures.
