On May 11, 2025, an X account named No Context Brits (X/@NoContextBrits) shared a post stating that Rockstar Games confirmed the appearance of Ronnie Pickering in GTA 6. They also claimed IGN was the source of the news. However, neither the gaming studio nor the media house has said anything regarding the matter.

For those who don’t know, Ronnie Pickering is an internet personality who became popular in England for a road rage incident in September 2015. Therefore, it is highly likely that the X user made the statement just for humorous purposes.

While Ronnie Pickering’s appearance is unlikely, we can expect to see NPCs inspired by his incident in the game. Both official trailers and screenshots showed various types of random events taking place in Vice City in GTA 6.

Rockstar Games already added road rage in Grand Theft Auto 5, where some NPCs get angry if you annoy them by any means. Therefore, we can expect this feature to return in the upcoming installment as well. However, as far as the claim regarding Ronnie Pickering’s involvement in the game goes, it is likely to be false.
