Millie Bobby Brown Shares Her “Rules-First” GTA Playstyle and Hypes GTA 6
Millie Bobby Brown, best known for Stranger Things, has talked up her love for Grand Theft Auto—so much so that she says she can’t wait for GTA 6. She also described a surprisingly “by-the-book” way she plays Rockstar’s sandbox action series, despite the franchise’s reputation for chaos.
Millie Bobby Brown’s “rules-first” GTA playstyle
Even though GTA is famous for high-speed chases and a blatant disregard for pedestrian safety, Brown claims she approaches it differently. She says she enjoys playing the game while being a “very, very good” person—following traffic laws, respecting crossings, and stopping at red lights.
Where she talked about it and what she said
Brown discussed her gaming tastes on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast. When asked about her favorite video game of all time, she responded immediately with Grand Theft Auto, adding that she has a private “passion” for it.
First public comments on GTA excitement
She said she’s “so excited for GTA,” and noted that this is the first time she’s brought it up publicly. Brown framed her relationship with the series as something personal—calling it a passion—and explained that she sticks to the game’s rules rather than breaking them.
To make the point, she described stopping at traffic lights and claimed she “never” runs anyone over. She also added that the way she plays often surprises her husband, who reportedly compared her behavior to The Sims.
Playing it like a normal commute (with a twist)
Brown said she plays GTA as if her character is simply commuting to work. She acknowledged that missions sometimes require violence—yet she treats those scenarios as part of her own internal roleplay logic.
She explained that she might go to a strip club, but she won’t “get drunk,” and she summed up her mindset by saying she isn’t a hitman. Instead, she described herself as a vigilante—positioning the game’s dangerous objectives as something she only does under her own moral framing.
GTA 6 news flood ahead of launch—and the backlash
In the past several weeks, a steady stream of GTA 6 updates has appeared as Rockstar begins its long marketing push ahead of a long-awaited release this November. New screenshots have been shared as part of that ramp-up, and many fans have responded by calling them impressive.
At the same time, there’s been criticism around how Rockstar plans to sell physical versions. Some players have complained that the package will include a download code rather than a disc, arguing it might make more sense given industry changes—especially after Sony’s recent announcement that it will eventually discontinue PS5 game discs.
There’s also been workplace drama tied to GTA 6’s development. More employees have reportedly been attempting to unionize, adding another layer to the conversation around the project beyond what players see in trailers and screenshots.
Performance expectations on current consoles
Players shouldn’t assume the game will hit 60 frames per second on current console hardware either, based on the latest discussion surrounding performance expectations.
