Saints Row IV was famously the first game to be given a Refused Classification rating under the new R18+ ratings system.

An altered version of the game, called the Australian Edition, is being shown in a closed booth session at PAX Australia in Melbourne.

The showing is available only to PAX attendees wearing an R18+ wrist band indicating that they've had ID checked to confirm their age.

CNET Australia understands that the Australian Edition has been submitted to the Classification Board for approval, allowing it to be shown under a "Check the Classification" advisory.
