As one of Hollywood's most beloved young stars, Millie Bobby Brown has officially closed the chapter on her iconic role as Eleven in Stranger Things. But fans don't have to wait long to see her back in action—her detective alter ego Enola Holmes has returned for a third adventure, now streaming on Netflix. While the film has shot to the top of the platform's charts, critics have been less kind, calling it a forgettable mystery. Still, Brown's star power continues to shine, and she's now making headlines for a very different reason: her favorite video game.
In a recent podcast appearance, Brown was asked to name her all-time favorite video game. Without hesitation, she answered, "GTA." But here's the kicker—she doesn't play it like most people. "I stop at red lights, I never run anyone over," she explained. Her husband, Jake Bongiovi, has even joked, "Why are you playing [GTA] like it's The Sims?" It's a wholesome twist on a game known for its chaos, and it's winning over fans.
Brown's revelation comes at a perfect time, as the gaming world is buzzing about Grand Theft Auto 6, set to launch on November 19, 2026. Pre-orders opened on June 25, with a standard edition priced at $79.99 and an Ultimate Edition at $99.99—a price point that has sparked plenty of debate. Whether Brown has already pre-ordered remains a mystery, but her love for the franchise is clear.
Meanwhile, Enola Holmes 3 has been met with mixed reviews. Collider's David Caballero gave it a 5/10, writing, "For anyone looking for a meaty mystery with dynamic characters and an unpredictable plot, the movie won't meet their expectations." Despite the lukewarm critical reception, the film has quickly climbed to the top of Netflix's charts both in the U.S. and worldwide, proving that Brown's fanbase is as loyal as ever.
Brown's career continues to evolve, and she's no stranger to big franchises. In fact, she almost played X-23 alongside Hugh Jackman in Logan, a role that eventually went to Dafne Keen. It's just one of many what-ifs in her journey from Hawkins to Hollywood royalty.
As for GTA 6, the hype is undeniable. With pre-orders now live and a release date set for next year, fans are counting down the days. Brown's unique playstyle might not involve running over pedestrians, but it's a reminder that even in a game about crime, you can choose your own adventure.
