[URL='https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/gta-online-charlie-kirk-assassination-mission-rockstar-1236630176/']Variety[/URL] reports that a user-created level named "We Are Charlie Kirk" was recently pulled from the game, and that Rockstar has now added "Charlie Kirk" to its list of banned words — meaning that players will no longer see missions labelled with his name. It's unclear how quickly Rockstar acted to remove the mission, though footage of it was uploaded to YouTube that's now over a month old.

Today, IGN has seen that footage of "We Are Charlie Kirk" mission still exists on YouTube, where we have spotted similar footage of at least one other fan-made GTA Online Charlie Kirk assassination level that existed at one point, too. Both missions feature similar gameplay, where the player takes on the role of Charlie Kirk's murderer. Completing each mission requires the player assassinate Kirk at long range from a nearby rooftop, with the levels' layouts familiar to anyone with knowledge of the killing. Kirk's death in September 2025 sent shockwaves through America, and raised political tensions ever higher.
