Stephen A. Smith, the renowned ESPN host, has recently expressed his interest in joining Grand Theft Auto 6.
In response to a fan's suggestion on X, Smith stated his desire to host a radio station in the game's setting, the fictional Miami-inspired city, Vice City.
Rockstar Games, known for creative in-game radio stations in the Grand Theft Auto series, has yet to officially respond to this request.
The idea was first proposed by the Twitch streamer, chuba, who tagged Smith in a tweet asking him to be part of GTA 6 gameplay. Smith, well-known for his dynamic presence on ESPN's "First Take," reposted the thread, tagging the official handle of Rockstar Games, lending a degree of formality to his request.
Grand Theft Auto has had notable figures in the past like Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Liotta, Ricky Gervais, Jason Sudeikis, and Burt Reynolds lend their voices in past games. The announcement of GTA 6 has sparked widespread speculation and excitement about potential celebrity appearances, including suggestions for personalities like Joe Rogan to join the game.
Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to the gaming world, having previously expressed his interests in games like Madden and Pokémon. His potential involvement in GTA 6 aligns with his well-known ability to captivate audiences with sports commentary and opinions.
