Rockstar Removes GTA Online Missions Recreating Charlie Kirk Killing, Blocks His Name

The move follows player-made scenarios that mirrored Kirk’s September shooting at Utah Valley University.

Overview

  • Rockstar pulled a user-made job titled “We Are Charlie Kirk” that put players on a rooftop and prompted a sniper shot at a character named Charlie Kirk.
  • The company added “Charlie Kirk” to its list of blocked terms and plans to rename the tool beyond “profanity filter” to reflect wider content restrictions.
  • Rockstar’s moderators have been removing related user-generated content as it surfaces, though variants using alternate spellings still appear.
  • GTA Online’s mission-creator, launched on December 10, 2025, enabled players to design and publish missions others can play.
  • Kirk, a conservative activist, was killed during a Utah Valley University event in September 2025, and the removed missions referenced that scene.
