Overview
- Ubisoft Toronto developer Anthony Armstrong asked contacts on LinkedIn to arrange a confidential GTA 6 play opportunity for a relative given a 6–12 month prognosis.
- Armstrong later reported that Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick contacted him and said he subsequently spoke with Rockstar and received “great news.”
- The original post and updates were deleted, and neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two has detailed what, if anything, was arranged.
- Coverage notes the family member lives near Rockstar’s Oakville, Ontario studio and that Armstrong acknowledged NDAs would be required for any access.
- GTA 6 is officially scheduled for November 19, 2026, and outlets point to Rockstar’s 2018 precedent of letting a terminally ill fan play Red Dead Redemption 2 pre-release.
