We're seeking a freelance editor with deep, comprehensive knowledge of the Grand Theft Auto franchise to help shape our expanded coverage surrounding the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI.

As excitement builds around GTA VI, you'll edit content covering the game before, during, and well beyond its release — from pre-launch news and updates to launch coverage, ongoing developments, and community conversations. You'll work closely with writers and our editorial team to ensure coverage is timely, accurate, and engaging, with opportunities to contribute to other gaming topics as our coverage evolves.
