Stephen Root, known for King of the Hill and Barry, has been confirmed as a voice actor in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, likely playing the character Brian Heder, a drug runner. The game is set to release on November 19th and will not feature generative AI or microtransactions.
A fired Rockstar Games employee claims the company placed workers on a watch list after they signed a 2023 petition about remote working. Rockstar disputes this, stating 31 Scottish employees were dismissed for sharing confidential information on Discord, not for union activity. An employment tribunal in Glasgow is examining whether the dismissals violated trade union rights.
Grand Theft Auto 6 features a vastly expanded open world with hundreds of enterable interiors, detailed safeactions like eating and grooming, functional transportation systems including buses and rideshare, and dynamic NPC social media that players can interact with. Vice City is twice the size of Los Santos with improved environmental details like weather effects, traffic density variations, and enhanced character animations, supported by new control mechanics for crouching, sprinting, and combat.
