She described treating the game more like a calm driving simulator than a crime sandbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown added she skips in-game drinking and fights at locations such as strip clubs and called the series &#8216;one of my favorite games.&#8217; She also said she is looking forward to Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for release on November 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Millie Bobby Brown&#039;s Wholesome GTA Strategy\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EAWDfa7ojPI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Grand Theft Auto franchise uses an open-world design that lets players pursue different goals, from mission-based criminal plots to casual driving and exploration. Roleplay servers host users who create characters, take jobs, follow rules and build ongoing stories inside the game world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional athletes and entertainers have appeared on popular roleplay servers. Those servers allow participants to perform law-abiding careers, take part in social activities and act in scripted drama instead of focusing on violent gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grand Theft Auto has drawn criticism for violent content and some governments have restricted or banned the series. Brown&#8217;s account provides a high-profile example of a non-violent way to use the game&#8217;s city environments for driving, exploration and roleplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As reported previously, <a href=\"https:\/\/goranked.gg\/en\/news\/gamestop-cancels-gta-6-disc-pre-orders-no-disc-plan\/\" rel=\"follow\">GameStop canceled GTA 6 disc
