This fan will take GTA 6 with him thanks to an exceptional gesture from Rockstar, made possible by a situation as exceptional as it is tragic. We tell you.
Today, it has become a meme to make fun of the endless delay between the release of a game and the next episode. However, the increasingly long development times at certain studios may be a very understandable cause for concern for some players. This is the case, for example, of a fan of the Grand Theft Auto saga whose state of health could prevent him from one day playing GTA 6especially after the different reports. But Rockstar could grant him the exceptional privilege of playing it in advance.
The last chance to play GTA 6
The call for generosity can sometimes work miracles. Anthony Armstrong, UI developer working atUbisoft Torontowas counting on luck and his network to help a fan realize his dream before it was too late. It turns out that a member of his family, a long-time player of the Grand Theft Autohas been fighting cancer for years. However, he recently received sad news: the disease will soon get the better of him, the doctors only giving him 6 months to 1 year to live… a delay which could well prevent him from experiencing the long-awaited GTA 6.
Neither one nor two, Armstrong took advantage of his LinkedIn account to solicit his contacts. What if someone at Rockstar could give this terminally ill fan a nice gift? Of course, he is aware of what the confidentiality clauses imply. But he hoped that the studio could exceptionally set up a playtest the GTA 6 in order to allow this loved one to play the game before it is too late. Especially since the latter lives in Oakville, only half an hour from the Toronto offices.
Once again, the generosity of social networks has had an effect. Quickly, Armstrong updated his post. He and his family member were able to contact the PDG de Take-Two in person, then members of the studio. Although he cannot say more, they had “ good news “. The fan in question could therefore well have the opportunity to play GTA 6 in its current state of developmentor be entitled to a detailed presentation of the game before its release on November 19, 2026. Sad circumstances which despite everything result in a beautiful story overall.
