The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is almost over! Take-Two Interactive has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated game is still on track for a Fall 2025 release, putting an end to recent rumors of a delay. With the launch window set for September to November 2025, fans are counting down the months until they can finally dive into Rockstar Games’ latest masterpiece.
But for many, playing GTA 6 on day one isn’t just a casual plan—it’s a mission. After waiting over a decade for the next installment in the iconic franchise, fans are already brainstorming creative excuses to clear their schedules and avoid work when the game drops.
Fans Are Getting Creative with Their Excuses
On Reddit’s r/GTA6 community, a recent post sparked a lively discussion with over 300 comments. The question? “What will be your excuse to avoid work, duties, and responsibilities to play GTA 6?”
Some fans are keeping it simple and honest. One user joked, “I’ll just straight-up say I’ve got GTA 6 to play. We’ve waited over 10 years… everyone will understand, right?” Another added, “At midnight on release day, I’m texting everyone, ‘It’s been nice knowing you…’”
Others are taking a more confident approach. One commenter wrote, “I don’t need an excuse. I’m a grown adult who loves video games, and I’ve worked hard enough to take time off if I want to.”
However, not everyone has the luxury of skipping responsibilities. One fan shared a heartfelt response, explaining, “I’m a carer for my father, so I can’t take a day off. I’ll have to hope my grown-up daughter lets me have a couple of hours to play. As much as I’ve waited for this game, time with my dad is precious.”
Why the Hype for GTA 6?
Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment releases of all time. The franchise has a massive global following, and the decade-long gap since GTA V has only heightened the excitement. With Rockstar Games known for their immersive open worlds, gripping storytelling, and cutting-edge graphics, expectations are sky-high.
Plan Ahead to Avoid Missing Out
If you’re one of the millions eagerly awaiting GTA 6, now’s the time to start planning. Whether you’re booking time off work, arranging childcare, or simply clearing your schedule, make sure you’re ready to jump into the game the moment it launches.
After all, as one fan put it, “We’ve waited over 10 years for this. Nothing’s going to stop me from playing it on day one.”
