Grand Theft Auto 6 – GTA 5’s Trevor VA Wants a Cameo to “Pass the Torch”

Steve Ogg thinks it would be great if Trevor could show up at the start of GTA 6 only to get killed off, passing the torch to new protagonists.

While not too many details about Grand Theft Auto 6 have been revealed yet, especially when it comes to the upcoming title’s story, Steve Ogg, who voiced one of the protagonists in GTA 5 – Trevor – believes that it would be cool of the character showed up at the start of the game to pass the torch to a new generation.

Ogg doesn’t want Trevor to steal the spotlight from the new protagonists in GTA 6, and instead, would like it if he could show up for a few seconds only to get quickly killed off and have the game move on with its story.

“It would be fun if Trevor appeared in it just to be killed at the beginning. I think that would be cool,” said Ogg in an interview with ScreenRant. “Because it also acknowledges the fans… like ‘Hey, thank you. Pass the torch, stomp Trevor’s head in, and sort of put an end to that and allow a new generation to take over’.”

Interestingly enough, the character of Trevor was introduced in a similar way in GTA 5, in a scene that involved him messing with and ultimately killing Johnny Kibbutz – protagonist of GTA 4 DLC The Lost and the Damned. GTA 5 doesn’t bring too much attention to Johnny, and those that may not have played GTA 4 would be left completely in the dark about who the character was at all.

While Rockstar itself has been quietly working away at GTA 6, the game has popped up recently in the news owing to how big a deal its release will be. An analyst recently predicted that it would be the first game to charge $100 for just the base version, breaking the price barrier for games in all price segments and allowing games in general to get higher price tags.

The analyst – Matthew Ball from Epyllion – believes that video game budgets are currently at an all-time high, while the price of games has barely increased over the last couple of decades; $70 games are a relatively new thing even now, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from back in 2009 was one of the first AAA titles to go for a $60 price tag.

Other analysts, however, have pointed out that Rockstar would have more to lose by raising the price to $100 than it would gain. Among other things, the move would limit how many people could feasibly buy the upcoming title. Circana’s Mat Piscatella also points out how games have already been charging $100 for fancier editions of games that offer players early access.

While it is currently unknown when GTA 6 will come out, we do know that it is in development for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and Take-Two has stated in the past that the game is being developed with a launch window of Fall 2025 in mind.

In the mean time, here are our thoughts on whether GTA 6 will be able to surpass the single-player campaign from Rockstar’s most recent major release, Red Dead Redemption 2.
