GTA 5's Michael, Trevor & Franklin want to return to GTA 6 for one last time in a 'Final Score' DLC
(Image via Rockstar Games) Over a decade since GTA 5 dropped, fans still aren't over the chaos, the chemistry, and the unforgettable drama of Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips, and Franklin Clinton. And apparently, neither are their actors: Ned Luke, Steven Ogg, and Shawn Fonteno. At a recent Comic Con Brussels panel, the trio made it crystal clear: they want to return in GTA 6. Not just for fun. They're pitching a story DLC that closes out the lives of Los Santos' most notorious heist crew. Here's everything we know. A DLC Idea That Writes Itself At Comic Con Brussels, something special happened. Steven Ogg (Trevor), Ned Luke (Michael), and Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) were asked whether they'd ever return in GTA 6. Their answer? A resounding yes—with an idea so clean, even Lester would approve. Ned Luke tossed out the title: 'The Final Score.' A DLC that reunites the GTA V trio for one last explosive mission. Fonteno hyped the crowd: 'Y'all campaign. One last score.' Ogg simply smiled the smile of a man who's always down for some chaos. That's all fans needed to hear. GTA 5: Steven Ogg, Shawn Fonteno & Ned Luke Q&A Session | Comic Con Brussels | 11-05-2025 A Comeback Fans Would Kill For Michael, Trevor, and Franklin aren't just characters. They're gaming legends. Ten years after GTA V, fans still debate that final mission choice, meme Trevor's madness, and quote Michael's therapy rants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Their story ended with money, betrayal, and maybe redemption. But there's still room for more. A DLC like The Final Score could pick up years later—maybe the crew's out of the game. Maybe they're dragged back in. Or maybe Trevor just shows up with a rocket launcher again. Either way, fans want closure. Not just for nostalgia's sake, but because these characters deserve a true finale. Will Rockstar Actually Do It? That's the million-dollar question. Historically, Rockstar has had a mixed relationship with story DLC. GTA IV had The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, which were masterpieces in their own right. But GTA V? Its planned story expansions were scrapped in favor of GTA Online. Still, with GTA 6 dropping in May 2026, things might change. Rockstar knows how important these characters are to the community. And with voice actors openly pushing for the DLC and asking fans to campaign, it feels like the ball is now in the players' court. It's rare to see actors so invested in their characters this long after release. But the chemistry between Michael, Trevor, and Franklin is lightning in a bottle. If there's ever a chance to bring that trio back, GTA 6 is it. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

Twitch CEO says that GTA 5 RP will keep the game alive even after GTA 6's launch
There's no denying the hype around GTA 6. It's arguably the most anticipated game of the decade. But even with Rockstar's next big release looming, GTA V (that came out in 2013) still commands massive attention on Twitch. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And according to Dan Clancy, the man running Twitch himself, that won't change anytime soon. Here's everything you need to know. GTA 6 May Be Coming, But GTA V Isn't Leaving In a recent chat at The Game Business Live event, Clancy shared his thoughts on why GTA V is still a giant in the streaming world, and why it'll stay that way, even after GTA 6 launches. Clancy pointed out that GTA V's roleplay (RP) community is massive. It's not just people playing missions or running around in Los Santos—it's full-on improv theater, with streamers building entire personas and storylines from scratch. That's the magic that keeps audiences glued for hours. According to Twitch's internal data, GTA V clocked a jaw-dropping 1.4 billion hours watched in 2024 alone. That's not just impressive—it's untouchable territory. What hope does Twitch have in a TikTok world? RP: The Secret Sauce That Keeps GTA V Fresh Unlike competitive games like Call of Duty or League of Legends, which require some level of game literacy to enjoy as a viewer, GTA RP is pure entertainment. You don't need to know how to play. You just sit back and watch streamers act out wild plots, dramatic arcs, or hilarious situations. It's unpredictable, raw, and real. Clancy even compared it to performance art, suggesting theater schools could study RP as a modern form of digital storytelling. These aren't just 'gamers' anymore; they're live performers with fully fleshed-out characters. GTA 6 Launch May Miss the RP Beat While fans are hyped for GTA 6, its initial console-only release in May 2026 could be a setback for the RP community. GTA RP thrives on PC mods like FiveM, and Rockstar hasn't confirmed when (or if) GTA 6 RP-compatible tools will be available. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Clancy anticipates it could take anywhere from 6 to 18 months after launch before PC modding becomes viable. So, while players rush to explore the new world of Vice City, Twitch streamers will likely stay loyal to GTA V, simply because that's where RP lives. The ONLY Good Thing About the GTA 6 Delay... The Delay Only Strengthens GTA V's Hold The recent delay of GTA 6 from Fall 2025 to May 2026 only deepens GTA V's grip on the platform. With no immediate alternative for roleplay content, streamers won't be jumping ship. In fact, the delay might even fuel another surge of creativity within the GTA V RP scene, as fans squeeze every last bit of entertainment out of Los Santos before the new era begins. Yes, GTA VI is the future. But GTA V ? That's now . And according to Twitch's top executive, it's going to remain that way for quite some time. Until Rockstar drops PC support and RP kicks in for GTA VI , Los Santos isn't handing over its crown just yet.

"Sweated my ass off": Ned Luke hated filming GTA V's yoga mission scene
In a recent social media response, GTA V's actor for Michael De Santa, , disclosed that the notorious yoga mission from the game wasn't only unpopular with gamers, it was additionally a nightmare to shoot too. According to Luke, the motion capture session for the mission lasted a grueling eight hours and left him physically exhausted, calling it 'hands down the worst to shoot.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ned Luke's blunt opinion on GTA V's yoga mission The moment came when GTA 6 Countdown posted about the yoga mission being the worst part of GTA V , prompting Ned Luke to bluntly respond with his own behind-the-scenes experience , "Sweated my ass off for 8 hours. Hands down the worst to shoot." The response quickly went viral among the gaming community, as many of them have for a long time made light of the slow pace and cringe-worthy gameplay of the mission. The "Did Somebody Say Yoga?" mission was intended to be a humorous but contemplative section of the game, with Michael trying to reconnect with his wife. But its rhythm-shattering quick-time yoga actions provoked mixed responses. Now that Luke has given us a behind-the-scenes look, it's apparent that the scene didn't come easy to the actor either, particularly considering the physicality of motion capture. Why the yoga mission still sparks debate The yoga mission has been a subject of discussion within the GTA fan base for a long time. Some appreciated it as a witty piece of satire, while others viewed it as a boring respite from the shoot-'em-up mayhem GTA V is infamous for. Luke's recent statement validates that the mission wasn't only challenging to players' patience, it was challenging to his body as well. Motion capture is already a grueling process, but replicating yoga positions in a suit for eight hours obviously tested the actor to his limits. His response brings a degree of human nuance to a scene that, although divisive, is one of the most memorable moments in the game. What was intended to be a fun-filled mission in GTA V became a grueling shoot for the actor behind Michael. Ned Luke's candid commentary provides fans with a greater appreciation for the effort involved in even the most surprising scenes. And for most, it provides yet another reason not to replay that yoga mission again. Also Read:

7 GTA 5 lines that still live in our head rent-free
(Image via Rockstar Games) If you've played GTA 5 , you know it's more than just mayhem, missions, and fast cars. The story hits deep. The characters? Wild, flawed, and brutally real. And the dialogue? Some of it has lived rent-free in our heads for years now. Whether it's pure chaos, emotional punches, or dark truths about the criminal world, here are 10 lines from GTA 5 that still give fans chills. 1. 'Surviving is winning, Franklin. Everything else is bulls***.' Michael straight-up drops this line when Franklin starts asking deeper questions. It's not just advice — it's a worldview. Cold, harsh, and honest. It tells you exactly who Michael is: a man who's lost so much, he's convinced himself that just breathing is enough. Grand Theft Auto V Lamar & Franklin Yee Yee haircut (GTA V PS3) 2. 'Maybe if you got rid of that yee-yee a** haircut…' No explanation needed. Lamar's roast of Franklin is iconic. It went viral, spawned memes, and is quoted more than any line in GTA history. Pure energy. Lamar might be a side character, but this moment made him immortal. 3. 'Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.' The first words of GTA 5. Soft, casual, and chilling . It starts light but hits hard once you realize Michael's running from his past, lying to himself, and dragging others down in the process. That's not a vacation — it's a ticking time bomb. 4. 'Hypocrisy, civilization's greatest virtue.' Michael says this with the tired wisdom of someone who's done it all . Robbed, lied, killed, retired — and still plays house like it's normal. He knows he's the villain but wears that truth like a badge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tu Kia Sportage, por tiempo limitado KIA Undo A reminder that GTA doesn't pretend to be morally clean. 5. 'Yeah, whatever, dawg. It's either this or dealing dimebags…' Franklin accepts the game. He knows what's up. He's not delusional. This line shows he's not chasing a fantasy — he's just trying to level up in a world that won't let him play clean. That quiet acceptance? Lowkey heartbreaking. 6. 'You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em.' This isn't just Michael trying to be cool during a robbery — it's the line that brings Trevor back into the story. It's the spark that lights the powder keg. When Michael repeats it later during a job, Trevor hears it on the news... and the entire story flips. = 7. 'Then all of a sudden, your legs give in, and you just can't run no more.' Said right before Franklin pulls the trigger (if you choose to kill Michael). It's gut-wrenching. This one line captures regret, aging, and betrayal in one breath. Feels like someone just hit pause on your heart. GTA 5's dialogue wasn't just written; it was crafted . That's why we're still quoting it a decade later. It's raw, unfiltered, and iconic, just like the game itself. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

What if Trevor had been the protagonist of GTA IV?
(Image via Rockstar Games) Imagine Liberty City through the eyes of a complete maniac. No cold, calculated Niko Bellic. No tragic war stories. Just Trevor Philips, the crazy chaos machine and unapologetic psycho running the show. Yeah, it would've been absolutely unhinged . Here's what GTA IV might've looked like if Trevor was driving the story (and probably crashing into everything on the way). Liberty City Would've Burned (Literally) Niko was about revenge, loyalty, and lowkey trying to be a better person (even while gunning down half the city). Trevor? Not even close. His entire vibe is 'I'll do it because I can.' Missions would be less about strategy and more about maximum carnage. Think less 'let's sneak in and grab the guy' and more 'let's blow up the entire building and see what's left.' He's the kind of guy who'd cause a five-star police chase just to pick up fast food. Trevor Philips Adventures in GTA 4 Episode 1 Every Relationship = Pure Chaos Niko had complicated bonds—with Roman, Michelle, Packie… it was messy, but human. Trevor? He'd probably rob Roman's cab business by mission two. Any romantic subplot? Instantly toxic. Trevor's the guy who'd go on a date, then threaten the waiter for 'looking weird.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo There'd be zero trust, constant backstabbing, and a lot of yelling. Every cutscene? Explosive. Drama would be off the charts. Mission Design? Straight-Up Madness Trevor's missions in GTA V are infamous for a reason—cannibal cults, train heists, torturing people… he doesn't do normal. So with him leading GTA IV, missions would be dialed up to 100. One minute you're hijacking a chopper while high on something unidentifiable, the next you're chasing a guy through Times Square on fire . Story coherence? Who needs it. Just vibes. Violent, chaotic vibes. The Story Arc: No Redemption, Just Mayhem GTA IV tried to be deep. It wanted you to feel things. It gave you moral choices. Trevor wouldn't care about any of that. You pick 'revenge' or 'deal'? Trevor does both —and kills everyone anyway. There's no growth with Trevor. No lesson. No emotional payoff. Just an endless, spiraling descent into beautifully entertaining anarchy. Trevor arrives in Liberty City | GTA IV Liberty City Wouldn't Survive Let's not lie—Trevor would turn Liberty City into an actual warzone. The cops? Outgunned. The gangs? Out-crazied. The civilians? Running for their lives. The city already felt tense with Niko. With Trevor, it'd feel like The Purge: Forever Edition . Every corner would be chaos central. Would It Work? Honestly? Kinda. Trevor brings energy . He's the grenade in a quiet room. While it would kill all the seriousness and moral conflict of GTA IV, it'd replace it with something else: pure, wild fun. Liberty City wouldn't just be a battleground—it'd be a playground of destruction. And Trevor would be king of the chaos. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.
