Millie Bobby Brown Teases How She’ll Play GTA 6 Differently

Millie Bobby Brown is clearly counting down the days until Grand Theft Auto 6, and she’s already hinted that she won’t treat Rockstar’s next open-world release the same way many players do. In a recent interview, the Stranger Things actress talked about her long-running relationship with the franchise—and how her personal playstyle could make her experience of GTA 6 feel distinctly different.

Why the GTA 6 spotlight keeps widening

GTA 6 was formally revealed in December 2023, and it entered a new phase of attention when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. That retail push has helped pull the game back into the middle of the broader gaming headlines, while also pushing the title deeper into mainstream pop culture discussions. One recent signal of that crossover came from the newest episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, where entertainment journalist Josh Horowitz sat down with Brown for an extended conversation covering a wide range of topics.

Brown’s pick: GTA, but not the “usual” way

Late in their hour-long chat, Horowitz asked Brown to name her favorite video game of all time. Her answer was immediate: “GTA.” She didn’t clarify which specific Grand Theft Auto game she’s most attached to, but she did expand on how she tends to approach Rockstar’s worlds—an angle that suggests her time with GTA 6 may differ from the typical chaos-focused play many fans expect.

Following the rules in an unruly sandbox

Brown also explained that she hasn’t previously talked publicly about her love for GTA. Her key point is that she doesn’t play Rockstar games in a manner that matches the chaotic, character-driven behavior the titles are known for. Instead, she said she mostly sticks to the rules. As she put it, “I stop at red lights, I never run anyone over,” adding that her approach isn’t what most people do in GTA.

She then pointed out that even her husband, Jake Bongiovi, sometimes teases her about it. Brown recalled a moment where he asked her, “Why are you playing [GTA] like it’s The Sims?”—a line that captures the contrast between her method and the franchise’s reputation for escalating mayhem.

• GTA 6 remains a major media presence thanks to its December 2023 announcement and June 25, 2026 pre-order launch.
• Brown publicly named GTA as her favorite video game franchise.
• Her personal playstyle centers on following rules rather than roleplaying the game’s typical lawless behavior.
• She highlighted that her approach even gets teased at home, reinforcing that her “GTA vibe” is unconventional for the franchise.
