Kit Harington GTA 6 interest started with the game’s advertising, despite his admission that he is barely a gamer. The Game of Thrones actor discussed his limited history with games in a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, then said the advertising around Rockstar’s next open-world crime game had caught his attention.
IGN reports that Harington has played some Tekken, Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing and Hogwarts Legacy. His work in gaming is more extensive than his personal playtime: he appeared as Salen Kotch in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and voiced Jon Snow in Telltale’s Game of Thrones series.
Kit Harington GTA 6 interest comes from the marketing
Harington told Horowitz that he wants to play GTA 6 after seeing its advertising. He also praised videos that recreate the game’s familiar criminal-world tropes in real life, according to IGN’s report.
That is the entire claim: he is interested, not confirmed as a future player. He did not say that he had played an early build, and the interview does not turn him into a secret Rockstar fan. GameRant’s account similarly frames the remarks as casual enthusiasm from an actor whose gaming résumé is longer than his gaming habit.
