Add ARY News on Google AAResize The Grand Theft Auto VI hype just went from digital to real-world wanted level. German You Tuber Über Gaming marched straight into Rockstar North’s Edinburgh offices this week to “commemorate” the game’s originally planned release date — and immediately triggered a five-star response from security and police.
Über Gaming, who hasn’t shared his real name, deliberately booked a room at the Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood because it’s directly across from Rockstar North’s HQ. On June 3, he and friends filmed themselves walking into the developer’s lobby unannounced.
“It only took seconds before we were asked to leave,” he said in a video posted to YouTube. The joke wrote itself: “We now have five stars in real life with Rockstar Games,” referencing GTA’s maximum wanted level for committing major crimes.
