According to a report by MeinMMO, Twitch's Chief Monetization Officer, Mike Minton, spoke about their GTA VI launch plans in a recent interview. When asked how much the company plans to invest in Rockstar's upcoming release, Mike Minton stated that they have a long-term perspective for the "various phases of the game", with the focus initially concerning its story mode.

Twitch will reportedly work with Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, to make "it" (seemingly the game's launch) as big as possible for them.

"We will work with Take-Two and so on to make it as big as possible for them and activate it on Twitch as they want for the launch of their game."

For those wondering about the title's story details, it will be set in a fictional state named Leonida (which will include the iconic Vice City). It will feature the pair of Jason and Lucia as its lead characters, a first ever for the popular GTA franchise.

That said, the story mode isn't all that the gaming community is looking forward to; the potential multiplayer mode is also highly anticipated. Twitch appears to have GTA 6 launch plans regarding that element as well, since Mike Minton reportedly believes it would be an even more important part of the title's life cycle on Twitch.
