Overview

  • The company pulled user-made assassination scenarios, including the high-profile "We Are Charlie Kirk" mission, after reports flagged them to its trust and safety team.
  • “Charlie Kirk” has been added to GTA Online’s blocked terms list, and Rockstar plans to rename the tool to reflect wider content restrictions beyond profanity.
  • Walkthrough footage showed the removed mission placing players on a rooftop to snipe a character named Charlie Kirk in a setting resembling Utah Valley University.
  • Outlets report that some similar missions remain accessible through variant spellings or altered names, highlighting ongoing moderation gaps.
  • The creations followed a December 2025 launch of GTA Online’s mission creator; Kirk was killed at a Utah Valley University event in September 2025 and a suspect is in custody awaiting trial.
