The discovery of the Hot Coffee mod caused a mainstream media backlash that forced Rockstar to slap San Andreas with an Adults Only rating in the US.
Assets for Hot Coffee were subsequently found in the console versions of San Andreas and, via console modding tools, the minigame was enabled on PlayStation 2 and Xbox. While it was disabled for the launch of the game, a mod for the PC version enabled access to it. Hot Coffee was an inaccessible sex minigame in the original 2004 release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
