The daughter of a terminally ill man is asking Rockstar Games to let her father play Grand Theft Auto 6, with the man only expected to have weeks to live. The launch of GTA 6 is set to be one of the biggest gaming events of 2026.
Daughter Asks for Dying Father to Play GTA 6 Early
Reddit user lexakommurry made her heartfelt request on the Rockstar Games subreddit, hoping to reach a Rockstar employee. The post revealed that her father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and given only weeks to live, sending him home under hospice care. She shared that her father had spent thousands of hours playing recent entries in the Grand Theft Auto series and hoped that Rockstar could give him a chance to play the game before he dies, even revealing her father had bought a PS5 just to play GTA 6. One of the subreddit’s moderators has since removed the post, and Rockstar has not issued an official response.
