Data miners discovered evidence of explicit sexual content after the game was released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004, and confirmed its existence when the Microsoft Windows version of the game was released in June 2005 modder Patrick Wildenborg released a patch to unlock the minigame.

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 however, the "Hot Coffee" mod could not be fully removed, so the content was hidden from players using cutscenes. "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, as the game must be modded to access it. It’s unclear how long this process is going to take, but players are growing irate they physically do not have access to a game they paid for and likely planned to play over a weekend." Hot Coffee" is an unofficial name for a minigame in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If, by some miracle, modders figured out a way to reactive this music or boot up the Hot Coffee mod, that would be a nightmare for Rockstar to deal with, so they’re not risking it at all, hence why people who bought GTA cannot even play the trilogy right now until they can scrub it clean. They’re in the game, but due to licensing issues, the game simply avoids playing them.

Dataminers also appear to have uncovered every single song that was left out of the re-released trilogy. The Hot Coffee mod isn’t even the only unintentional collection of files from the original games left over. But the code from the original version describing it, and deactivating it, appears to have been left in. As in, there was no way for players to actually play the Hot Coffee mod, which landed the game an AO rating back in the day and caused it to be banned from sale many places. To be clear, this does not appear to be accessible in the game.
