Ever since Lucia's revelation as GTA 6's protagonist, some fans were worried about the highly anticipated title's story being woke and focusing on political correctness and social commentary. However, Michael Unsworth, former Rockstar Games lead writer, has mentioned GTA 6 in the list of projects he has worked on. And this has brought a sense of relief to those concerned.

One of the biggest reasons for this is the fact that Michael was involved in acclaimed titles like Grand Theft Auto 4, 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 among many others.
