With the release of the title’s trailer, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for the next installment of the Grand Theft Auto series. A franchise that has previously drawn criticism for its portrayal of violence and mature themes, even from tech leaders like Elon Musk.
In their latest Rumble Livestream, the Tate brothers discussed their perspectives on the new trailer. Moreover, they offered insights into their overall opinions on the GTA franchise. Andrew Tate promptly asserted that he has “never played any” of the GTA games. Tristan disclosed that his experience with the franchise was limited to the first entry, played back in the 90s.
During their discussion on the evolution of gaming, Tristan launched into a vehement critique of the upcoming GTA release. He particularly highlighted his disapproval of games that permit young players to engage in virtual scenarios involving shooting at law enforcement officers.

“I am not a fan of anyone under the age of 18, 21 maybe, where the goal is to shoot police officers. I just don’t think that it is good for society. With all the amazing graphics and engines whatever people put into these video games I feel like you could create a better objective with the game,” said the younger Tate brother. Tristan then suggested to the game developers that the overarching emphasis of the game could be altered. The motive behind the same is to reduce its promotion of criminal behavior.
The global spotlight has been firmly fixed on GTA 6 since Rockstar Games unveiled the trailer, ending a decade-long anticipation. Despite facing premature leaks ahead of its release. The first trailer for GTA 6 made waves across all media platforms, shattering records previously held by superstars.

Dan, an employee at X and a kettlebell influencer, mentioned that he has never played any of the Grand Theft Auto titles. In reply, Elon Musk mentioned that he attempted to play GTA 5 but could not ever like it because he did not like committing crimes. “Tried, but didn’t like doing crime. GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn’t do it,” wrote Musk.
Musk was referring to the prologue of GTA 5, where players are tasked with eliminating a considerable number of police officers. That includes attempting to thwart Michael, Trevor, and their crew from robbing the Ludendorff bank.
