Rockstar Games apparently didn't stop at building a massive open world for GTA 6; it also produced actual television shows for players to watch inside the game. The detail comes from Kinda Funny's Andy Cortez, who visited Rockstar North's Edinburgh studio alongside Greg Miller and got a firsthand look at some of the watchable media built for the game.
According to Cortez on the latest Kinda Funny Gamescast, Rockstar showed him at least two different shows during the visit, including one he described as similar in style to Family Guy. Per Cortez, the team brought in an outside animation studio specifically to produce episodes for the game, and some of the content reportedly goes beyond animation into live-action territory as well.

In-game TV isn't new for the series. GTA 5 had its own channels players could flip through on in-game televisions, but usually as short looping clips rather than anything resembling a full season. If Cortez's account is true, GTA 6 sounds like it's treating watchable media as its own production pipeline instead, which would be a meaningful jump in scope from what Rockstar has done before.

This isn't officially confirmed by Rockstar itself, since it's coming from a podcast recap rather than a company statement, and there's no word yet on how many shows or episodes will actually make it into the shipped game. Still, the general direction is clear enough. GTA 6 is aiming to give players plenty of reasons to put the controller down and just sit on a virtual couch for a while.
