Dying Fan’s Last Wish: The Secret GTA III Session Rockstar Didn’t Want You to Know About

Isn’t it wild what counts as a once-in-a-lifetime “wish” these days? Forget castles and talking mice—this is 2026, and you’d better believe a dying gamer’s bucket list includes respawning in Liberty City, not at Disney World . When 12-year-old Noah Cutler’s clock started ticking louder, Rockstar Games decided to rewrite the Make-A-Wish playbook, letting him trade hospital monitors for PlayStation controllers smack in the heart of their own HQ. I don’t know about you, but I’m torn between misty-eyed sympathy and a weird type of envy—because if there’s a real-life cheat code, it’s getting unprecedented access to play GTA III in the very lair where the magic happens, all while some suit whispers, “Don’t leak the Vice City concept art, kid—or else.” Could you keep a secret with a golden ticket like that? Man, I’d probably spill it all over Reddit before my cab even hit Manhattan. To see how Rockstar put a uniquely digital spin on granting final wishes (and maybe to remind ourselves that in the end, what we really want is to break some virtual laws in peace)—LEARN MORE.

NEW YORK—Touched by his dedication and realizing his time was running tragically short, Rockstar Games allowed a dying fan to visit its office Wednesday and play Grand Theft Auto III from the comfort of a hospital bed. “When we heard about this poor kid and how urgent his situation was, we flew him out here right away to give him a one-of-a-kind opportunity to tear it up in Liberty City,” Rockstar president Sam Houser said of terminally ill Noah Cutler, adding that the 12-year-old was able to spend all day on a PlayStation 2 in the very place where the game was published. “Obviously, this kind of access is exceedingly rare, but sometimes you have to make an exception, and we couldn’t imagine anything a GTA diehard would want more right now than to take a crack at this title. I mean, it’s GTA III. Who else can say they’ve played that?” Houser added that Cutler’s day at Rockstar Games also included a sneak peek at some concept art for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the details of which the boy could not discuss under the terms of the strict nondisclosure agreement he was forced to sign.
