Rockstar has removed a controversial fan-made mission from Grand Theft Auto Online, titled "We Are Charlie Kirk," which recreated the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk. The update, which allowed players to create their own missions, went live on December 10, 2025, leading to the rapid emergence of this creation.

This action has raised concerns regarding the management of user-generated content in the game, as similar missions still circulate.
