Steven Ogg, recognized worldwide for playing Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V, recently surprised by declaring that he feels “absolutely nothing” for Grand Theft Auto VI. Despite the next Rockstar Games title being one of the most important releases in the history of video games, the actor made it clear that he has never been a fan of the medium. Hence his indifference to the next GTA.
Literature before video games
During a talk with the YouTuber HarrisonShippp at a convention, Ogg was direct: “I’m not a gamer. I’ve never played a video game, so I don’t feel anything at all.” The confession was even more striking as he was accompanied by his co-stars Ned Luke (Michael) and Shawn “Solo” Fonteno (Franklin). They also signed autographs and lived with fans surrounded by the iconic art of GTA V.
In the same interview, Ogg told an anecdote about how a fan suggested to play GTA V. His answer was to compare the experience with reading a literary classic: ‘They told me ‘because it’s great’, and I replied, ‘Well, one day you should read Crime and Punishment of Dostoevsky. They went blank.” For Ogg, books are his true passion. Does not find attractive in immersing himself in video games, no matter how popular they are.
The actor even questioned his interviewer about whether he knew Fyodor Dostoevsky, showing the difference between his cultural interests and the fervor of the followers for the Rockstar saga.
His time in GTA and possible returns
Although he is not a player, Ogg has spoken on other occasions about his experience in Grand Theft Auto V. Among the most commented is the canceled DLC focused on Trevor, which was ruled out in favor of expanding the content of GTA Online. besides, The actor has joked with the idea of appearing in GTA VI, , Even if it was only for him to be eliminated on the first mission. This would be like a nod to the death of Johnny Klebitz, star of the lost and damned, at the hands of Trevor in GTA V.
Meanwhile, the gamer audience counts the days for the premiere of the next big Rockstar title.. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch May 26, 2026. unless you suffer a new delay. It will be the first main game of the franchise in more than a decade. This has generated unprecedented expectations.
For fans of the saga, the emotion is at its highest point. For OGG, on the other hand, attention remains focused on literature, with Crime and Punishment as a star recommendation against the imminent phenomenon of video games.
