It’s in her name, but Ash Skyqueen really is royalty in the skies of Los Santos. With well over 10,000 hours logged in GTA Online across Xbox and PC over the last decade, Ash has dedicated the majority of that time performing jaw-dropping, mind-bending, gravity-defying stunts among the clouds, before then building stunning montage collections that showcase her phenomenal skills.
I’ve followed Ash’s work for several years, and have spoken to her on multiple occasions – not least about her one-time plans to replicate her most death-defying stunt in the GTA Trilogy – and yet, no matter how many times I see her spectacular stunts in motion, I’m always, always, blown away. From the Port of Los Santos to the Paleto Bay peninsula and everything in between, Ash’s forte is scouring a game world otherwise rooted in virtual crime and digital hedonism, and turning it into a platform to stage her adrenaline-fueled performances.
Packed with nothing but a parachute and an iron stomach, Ash’s latest exhibition is the result of 11 months and 1,500 hours of work, celebrating 10 years of GTA 5 (September 23) and its online multiplayer component, GTA Online (October 1). And she’s loved every second of it.
