GTA VI Fans Mercilessly Mock “Millisecond Countdown” Update
When the @GTAVI_Countdown account solemnly announced that Earth’s 1.34-millisecond faster rotation on July 22 technically advanced Grand Theft Auto VI’s May 2026 release, the community responded with an avalanche of sarcasm. This cosmic quirk – confirmed by Space.com as the second-shortest day in recorded history – became the latest target for fans exhausted by the decade-long wait.
Why the Roasting Hit Critical Mass
The revelation sparked instant ridicule across social media:
“Maximum cope level but understandable” – @RoiResell
“Need to log off the app for a bit, bruv” – @JoserNunez91
“GTA fans grasping at every straw man. You’d think they were Banjo-Kazooie fans” – @BLOODY_FATALITY
This reaction underscores the community’s fractured psyche: equal parts desperate for milestones and self-aware about their own anticipation madness.
The Science Behind the Mockery
- July 22’s rotation was 1.34ms faster due to complex geophysical forces
- Technically advances all future events by 0.00134 seconds
- Would require 263,000+ similar days to shave just one hour off the wait
As one Redditor calculated: “At this rate, we’ll save 3 seconds by launch day. Worth it!”
Why This Resonates Now
The timing amplifies the absurdity:
- Follows recent false delay scare from PS Store glitches
- Comes after 7-month delay from Fall 2025
- Highlights creative coping mechanisms for the 312-day wait
As @GTAVI_Countdown faces backlash, fans ironically credit them for “finding new ways to hurt us.”

Reality Check: May 26, 2026 Stands Firm
Despite the cosmic hiccup:
- Rockstar’s release date remains unchanged
- Next trailer expected late 2025
- 1.34ms = 0.000000155% of the remaining wait
The only tangible outcome? A masterclass in gaming community self-parody.
