The New York Post reported on 1 Nov 2026 that a wave of TikTok videos shows women saying their boyfriends are banned from playing GTA 6. TikTok creator Shelby Haas, who has 1.1 million followers, said her fiance is not allowed to play after hearing that players keep up a relationship with a female lead, text her and take her on dates. She also said she does not like the strip clubs in the series.
Creator Skylar Mae told Jam Press that women are being too strict. Her point: a game at home is not the same as cheating in real life, and people should not get worked up over a fictional relationship.
Is this real? Yes, reported by major outlets
Who said it: Creator Skylar Mae to Jam Press, and TikTok creator Shelby Haas. Sources: New York Post. Our view: These are personal opinions in a social media debate, not facts about the game. Checked: 1 Nov 2026.
How fans reacted
- Some commenters agreed with the ban and called the gameplay weird.
- Many others said it is just a game and that worrying about a fictional character says more about the person worried.
In GTA 6 you play as both Jason and Lucia, and their relationship is the core of the story. Rockstar says players can even let the relationship fall apart. GTA 6 launches on 19 November 2026.
