GTA 5's Michael, Trevor & Franklin want to return to GTA 6 for one last time in a 'Final Score' DLC
(Image via Rockstar Games) Over a decade since GTA 5 dropped, fans still aren't over the chaos, the chemistry, and the unforgettable drama of Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips, and Franklin Clinton. And apparently, neither are their actors: Ned Luke, Steven Ogg, and Shawn Fonteno. At a recent Comic Con Brussels panel, the trio made it crystal clear: they want to return in GTA 6. Not just for fun. They're pitching a story DLC that closes out the lives of Los Santos' most notorious heist crew. Here's everything we know. A DLC Idea That Writes Itself At Comic Con Brussels, something special happened. Steven Ogg (Trevor), Ned Luke (Michael), and Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) were asked whether they'd ever return in GTA 6. Their answer? A resounding yes—with an idea so clean, even Lester would approve. Ned Luke tossed out the title: 'The Final Score.' A DLC that reunites the GTA V trio for one last explosive mission. Fonteno hyped the crowd: 'Y'all campaign. One last score.' Ogg simply smiled the smile of a man who's always down for some chaos. That's all fans needed to hear. GTA 5: Steven Ogg, Shawn Fonteno & Ned Luke Q&A Session | Comic Con Brussels | 11-05-2025 A Comeback Fans Would Kill For Michael, Trevor, and Franklin aren't just characters. They're gaming legends. Ten years after GTA V, fans still debate that final mission choice, meme Trevor's madness, and quote Michael's therapy rants. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Their story ended with money, betrayal, and maybe redemption. But there's still room for more. A DLC like The Final Score could pick up years later—maybe the crew's out of the game. Maybe they're dragged back in. Or maybe Trevor just shows up with a rocket launcher again. Either way, fans want closure. Not just for nostalgia's sake, but because these characters deserve a true finale. Will Rockstar Actually Do It? That's the million-dollar question. Historically, Rockstar has had a mixed relationship with story DLC. GTA IV had The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, which were masterpieces in their own right. But GTA V? Its planned story expansions were scrapped in favor of GTA Online. Still, with GTA 6 dropping in May 2026, things might change. Rockstar knows how important these characters are to the community. And with voice actors openly pushing for the DLC and asking fans to campaign, it feels like the ball is now in the players' court. It's rare to see actors so invested in their characters this long after release. But the chemistry between Michael, Trevor, and Franklin is lightning in a bottle. If there's ever a chance to bring that trio back, GTA 6 is it. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

"Sweated my ass off": Ned Luke hated filming GTA V's yoga mission scene
In a recent social media response, GTA V's actor for Michael De Santa, , disclosed that the notorious yoga mission from the game wasn't only unpopular with gamers, it was additionally a nightmare to shoot too. According to Luke, the motion capture session for the mission lasted a grueling eight hours and left him physically exhausted, calling it 'hands down the worst to shoot.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ned Luke's blunt opinion on GTA V's yoga mission The moment came when GTA 6 Countdown posted about the yoga mission being the worst part of GTA V , prompting Ned Luke to bluntly respond with his own behind-the-scenes experience , "Sweated my ass off for 8 hours. Hands down the worst to shoot." The response quickly went viral among the gaming community, as many of them have for a long time made light of the slow pace and cringe-worthy gameplay of the mission. The "Did Somebody Say Yoga?" mission was intended to be a humorous but contemplative section of the game, with Michael trying to reconnect with his wife. But its rhythm-shattering quick-time yoga actions provoked mixed responses. Now that Luke has given us a behind-the-scenes look, it's apparent that the scene didn't come easy to the actor either, particularly considering the physicality of motion capture. Why the yoga mission still sparks debate The yoga mission has been a subject of discussion within the GTA fan base for a long time. Some appreciated it as a witty piece of satire, while others viewed it as a boring respite from the shoot-'em-up mayhem GTA V is infamous for. Luke's recent statement validates that the mission wasn't only challenging to players' patience, it was challenging to his body as well. Motion capture is already a grueling process, but replicating yoga positions in a suit for eight hours obviously tested the actor to his limits. His response brings a degree of human nuance to a scene that, although divisive, is one of the most memorable moments in the game. What was intended to be a fun-filled mission in GTA V became a grueling shoot for the actor behind Michael. Ned Luke's candid commentary provides fans with a greater appreciation for the effort involved in even the most surprising scenes. And for most, it provides yet another reason not to replay that yoga mission again. Also Read:
