Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently turned down a request to appear as a character in the upcoming game GTA 6.

He emphasized that Rockstar Games, the studio behind the Grand Theft Auto series, enjoys “enormous” creative freedom and independence in their projects.

Rockstar Games revealed Grand Theft Auto 6 over a year ago, but fans are still eagerly awaiting more details.

Many players have been speculating and looking for clues in GTA Online, hoping to find hints about the new game.

Despite the game being deep into production, fans have a few specific requests.

They want an Easter egg featuring Tommy Vercetti, the main character from the original Vice City game.

Additionally, they hope for a reference to the popular “Lance Vance dance.”

YouTuber’s Cameo Request Denied

YouTuber Conner Mather, who has been compared to a Grand Theft Auto NPC by fans, asked Strauss Zelnick if he could be included in GTA 6. Zelnick quickly dismissed the idea, responding, “Almost certainly not.”

Zelnick explained that Rockstar operates with a high degree of creative freedom.

He stated, “Rockstar is highly independent creatively. Our internal workings involve a lot of interaction and support, including financial, marketing, and distribution support. But creatively, the labels have enormous freedom.”

There are numerous rumors about what Rockstar has planned for GTA 6. Some speculate that Joe Rogan might have his own radio show in the game.

Others believe there could be an in-game version of TikTok, along with many other references.

Rockstar’s team has seen some changes over the years. One notable departure is Lazlow Jones, who was a regular radio host in the GTA series.

Fans will have to wait to see what surprises Rockstar includes in GTA 6. Everyone is hoping the game will not be delayed until 2026.
