Jones already left the studio in April of this year. This is evident from his LinkedIn profile, which Jones recently updated. This change was noticed by YouTube user GTAMen, among others. Jones and Rockstar do not yet give a concrete reason for his departure. Jones says he is currently working on series for Disney and Netflix. At the same time, he has an ‘advisory’ position at a game company.

Lazlow Jones is known for his role as the eponymous character from Grand Theft Auto, who works as an in-game talk show host and radio DJ. Jones took on this role in eight different GTA games. However, he also worked as a writer, producer and director for the GTA series and other Rockstar games like Red Dead Redemption, Bully and Max Payne.
