## Summary

The Onion is preparing to satirise the cultural anticipation around Grand Theft Auto 6, which is expected to be a major release. Head writer Mike Gillis says the scale of attention makes the game a natural subject for jokes that puncture claims it will change everything.

Gillis said he is also excited about the game as a fan, and sees video games as a broad medium that can be corporate, manipulative, playful and joyful. The Onion has published GTA-themed jokes for months, and the game is due on 19 November; its own irreverent style may be tested by a series already known for satire.
