Wait, Is That a Kid in GTA 6?

The Grand Theft Auto series does not feature kids in gameplay. It’s a golden rule for pretty much all video games that let you indiscriminately kill NPCs. Look at what happened with The Sims competitor inZoi earlier this year, when players found they were able to run over children (the developer quickly patched it out and called it a bug).

So, you can understand why a seemingly innocuous screenshot released for GTA 6 that looks like it shows a kid in-game has sparked so much speculation.

The screenshot in question is of the Grassrivers section of GTA 6 (we’ve got a whole page devoted to the area if you want to know more). If you look closely at the bottom right-hand corner of the image, below, you can make out a few people sitting at an outside table. One of these people looks a lot smaller than the other two, so much so that observers are saying it’s a child.
