GTA 6 is the most anticipated video game in history — a sequel to GTA V, which has sold over 200 million copies and generated over $8 billion in revenue, making it the most commercially successful entertainment product ever created. Rockstar Games revealed the first trailer in December 2023 to over 90 million views in 24 hours. The game is set in a fictional recreation of Miami and Florida and features the first female protagonist in the main GTA series. The development budget is estimated at over $1 billion. The expectations are almost impossibly high — can any game live up to over a decade of anticipation? The yes camp argues that Rockstar has never released a bad game and that the scale and ambition of GTA 6 will deliver something genuinely transformative. The no camp argues that no game could possibly meet these expectations. Is GTA 6 worth the wait?
