Brother’s Heartfelt Plea for GTA 6 – Hoping Rockstar Lets Dying Fan Play GTA 6 Early

Shared by his older brother on Reddit, the story details a lifelong fan who has battled severe health challenges, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome, strokes, and organ failure. Through countless hospital stays and surgeries, one constant source of joy and self-expression has been Grand Theft Auto Online. There, he has built an impressive legacy—grinding to amass over 900 million in-game dollars and crafting a unique style, all while bonding with his sibling.

“Some of my favorite memories with my brother have been playing this game with him,” his brother wrote. “Despite all this, he is still one of the sweetest, kindest people I know… GTA Online has been a great way for him to express himself.”

Tragically, the young man is now in the end stages of heart failure. With Grand Theft Auto VI scheduled for November, his family fears he may not live long enough to see its release. The brother’s public appeal is a direct, emotional request to Rockstar Games: to see if the studio might grant his brother a chance to experience the game early.

This appeal follows a known precedent. Rockstar has a history of compassionate gestures, having arranged for a dying Dutch fan to play Red Dead Redemption 2 before launch. More recently, reports suggest the studio facilitated early access to GTA VI for another terminally ill individual.

The gaming community has responded with an outpouring of support and practical advice, urging the family to formally contact Rockstar’s support channels while managing expectations. As one commenter noted, such requests are complex, and studios must carefully verify them amidst unfortunately common fake appeals.
