"Oh man," Cockle tells us during the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 when we ask for his thoughts on GTA 6 potentially outpacing The Witcher 3's history at the awards show – around 10 wins over four years. "This is a game I really don't care about," he laughs, all while the GTA 6 subreddit is in its usual state of panic level 80. Everything is calm according to Cockle. "I think Witcher 3 is a great game," he says. "GTA 6, when it comes out, will probably be a great game." I can hear the tortured cries of GTA fans now: you mean, if it comes out! GTA 5's Trevor actor feels "nothing inside" for GTA 6 and tells gamers to go "read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment," while Franklin's actor says "f*** that book" GTA 6 might be the "massive game with massive marketing," but The Witcher 3 director doesn't mind launching his next RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker at the same time: "I'm fine with it" GTA 6 joins Cyberpunk 2077 in winning the Most Wanted Golden Joysticks award two years running, in what's not a worrying coincidence whatsoever "So whatever it is, it is, you know?" Cockle continues, shrugging at the thought of GTA 6 surpassing The Witcher 3's awards. It could, but it doesn't matter. "Enjoy your games. Have fun with them." Cockle has his own blockbuster game to worry about, anyway. The actor will again reprise his role as Geralt in CD Projekt's upcoming The Witcher 4 – though he's strategically quiet when we ask him about that game, too. "I have no idea what you're talking about," Cockle says when we press him on The Witcher secrets. Well played, Witcher. The Witcher legend Doug Cockle agrees "there's so many great games this year," but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the highlight: "It's such a beautifully written game, and beautifully conceived and achieved."
