Carolyn Petit of Kotaku wrote an article about transphobia in Grand Theft Auto V. The writer stated that the game's stereotype look on transgenders is outdated and shouldn't be in new Enhanced Edition that will be released in 2022.

"Will Rockstar reckon with the game's transphobia? Will the company make any adjustments so that the game doesn’t lend itself so aggressively to fulfilling the murderous transphobic fantasies of players who hate us?", - journalist asks developers.

She suggested Rockstar to state that the previous vision was wrong. Carolyn Pettit thinks that Rockstar Games could be the first company with a new way to fight "harmful representations from the past to video games".
