South Park: The Stick of Truth is an American RPG that was developed by Obsidian Entertainment. It was released by Ubisoft on March 4, 2014. Due to the Australian government banning the original game for its sexual violence, Ubisoft released a censored version so that the game could be released in Australia. The European console releases were similarly censored due to Ubisoft making a "market decision", while Nazi symbols were also censored in any version released in Germany.

German censorship[]

  • In addition to the existing European censorship for consoles, any scene that shows Nazi symbols such as swastikas was modified on all platforms, including PC, for the German release due to existing laws. In the versions released in Germany, the Nazi symbols and gestures were covered up by black boxes. Sounds that originally were taken from Nazi speeches were either bleeped out or replaced by more harmless lines which did not contain any Nazi content.

Where to find it uncensored[]
