A Neogaf User found an NPC with a fully rendered vagina, and subsequently captured & posted screenshots using the ingame camera, posting the pictures to Twitter. By doing so, he found himself suspended from PSN for a full month.
Shortly after this whole situation blew up on Neogaf, Ubi released this statement:
We’re aware that one of the NPC models in Watch Dogs 2 is rendered in a way that is particularly explicit. While Watch Dogs 2 is a mature-rated game, we apologize and will update this NPC model to make it more consistent with other NPC models in the game in a patch to be released this week. We also are working with our first-party partners to ensure that players can continue to play and share all content from the game within the bounds of the first parties’ respective codes of conduct
Apparently nudists are a part of the game, so there are fully rendered penises as well. I am definitely interested in seeing if/how this story develops any further.
If you would like to see the Neogaf thread in question, here is a link (for clarity, you can find the NSFW picture in there; but I'm providing the link for context, not titillation).
Edit: Just to get my opinion in on this, I think Sony is very much in the wrong on this one. The user used an official tool provided by Sony in a game they approved. He posted the screenshot to express his surprise that it was even in the game - seems like the whole point of the share system to me. It's only made worse by the fact that they extended his ban from a week to a month for (seemingly) no reason.
