The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and gradually the game's creators are revealing details about the new installment of the franchise. Rockstar Games developers are known for working in secret and not rushing to share details, but in recent months they have given several interviews, from which players have learned about the game world, as well as the approach to creating the main characters — Lucia and Jason.
It was expected that a major interview about Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar Games co-founder and president Sam Houser would soon take place. However, plans have changed, and the exclusive GQ interview will not happen.
Players' attention was drawn to a social media post by a GQ author. Sam White said that negotiations with Rockstar for an interview with Sam Houser had been ongoing for four years, and in April of this year, confirmation was received that the conversation would indeed take place. However, information has now emerged that Houser declined the interview 'for personal reasons':
After a tough year personally and so much effort put into this story, it's especially disappointing to be left with nothing when it comes to a historically important game and an amazing developer whom I deeply respect. This would have been the perfect subject for a GQ piece — probably the biggest of my career! Well, we move on.
There are no details about Sam Houser's 'personal reasons.' It seems that now the main person who will talk about the new game will be developer Rob Nelson.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
