## Summary

Stephen Bliss says he is “flattered” that GTA 6’s cover art retains visual touches he developed, despite having no involvement in its creation. His comments highlight how the franchise’s established visual identity continues to draw on ideas from earlier games.

Bliss worked at Rockstar Games from 2001 to 2016 and helped shape the series’ comic book-inspired promotional artwork, including its grid layout. He pointed to the box grid and a helicopter in the top-left corner as references to his work, while stressing that GTA 6’s art has its own style and credit is also due to artists Anthony Macbain and Steven Olds.
