The release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is one of the most anticipated events in gaming, and fans are already brainstorming creative ways to avoid work and responsibilities when the game drops. With the game expected to launch in Fall 2025, the community is preparing to dive into the next-gen experience without distractions. Here’s how fans are planning their escape.
Honesty Is the Best Policy
Surprisingly, many fans are opting for honesty when it comes to taking time off for GTA VI. On Reddit’s r/GTA6, user Finnalandem shared their bold approach:
- “I told my supervisor yesterday that I’ll be sick sometime toward the end of the year, sometime in the fall really… he just looked at me.”
Others agreed, with Vix3092 stating, “Yep, my annual leave, my choice what I use it for!”
Saving Sick Days for GTA 6
For those who don’t want to use their vacation days, saving up sick days is another popular strategy. User mmiller17783 explained:
- “I’m contemplating saving my sick days for the day of release and three days after.”
- “But barring that, I’m not gonna make an excuse to play something I’ve been waiting to play for going on a decade now.”
Why the Fuss?
GTA VI is shaping up to be one of the biggest gaming releases of all time, and fans want to experience it without interruptions. The game’s next-gen features, immersive open world, and gripping story are expected to set a new standard for the franchise.
As one fan put it, “It would be interesting to see some statistics of how many people worldwide skip school or work on release day.”
