Rockstar Games has revealed its approach to politics and culture war references in Grand Theft Auto 6. Dan Houser's departure from Rockstar has left questions about how GTA 6 might handle its political satire, and senior vice president of narrative Rupert Humphries has stepped in to explain its plan for the game.

Politics has always been baked into the DNA of the Grand Theft Auto series. It has never shied away from satirizing politics, and the way in which it parodies these elements often make each game a unique time capsule and commentary on the time in which they were released. There's no doubt that GTA 6 will satirize a range of topics, but it makes sense in the current climate that politics might be front and center to that.

"We are trying to make games that feel very specific to the moment they are released, but at the same time, not reflective of the exact world we live in, we don’t want to be too specific about any particular person, event, movement, or anything like that," Humpries explained. "Making a game in Florida, though, there is so much to work with, and we have really tried to build out our world-filling it with all the characters and culture wars necessary to make it feel alive.
