GTA 6 Countdown Sparks Fan Frenzy: “10 Months Doesn’t Feel Real”
The reality of Grand Theft Auto VI’s May 26, 2026 release is finally sinking in for fans – and emotions are running wild. After 13 years since GTA V and a recent delay from Fall 2025, the 10-month countdown has ignited euphoric disbelief alongside lingering fears of another setback.
The Weight of Waiting
One fan’s viral Reddit post captures the collective surrealness:
“GTA VI coming out in 10 months doesn’t feel real… After years of Rockstar milking GTA V, it’s unbelievable. People hyped this since 2014!”
The sentiment reflects a decade of anticipation for Rockstar’s return to Vice City, starring dual protagonists Jason and Lucia. With only two trailers released, the secrecy amplifies the tension between excitement and skepticism.
Delay Anxiety Persists
Despite the milestone, many fans brace for disappointment:
- “Let’s not act like it’s not getting delayed again,” one user countered
- “We’ll be really sad when it gets delayed another year,” predicted another
This division underscores the trauma from May’s delay announcement, which reset 485-day fan countdown timers overnight.
Why the Stakes Feel So High
As the most anticipated game in history, GTA 6 represents:
- Rockstar’s first new universe since 2013
- A technological leap for PS5/Xbox Series X|S
- The revival of Vice City’s neon-soaked chaos
With pre-orders likely to shatter records, every development update will be scrutinized. Rockstar’s silence since the delay fuels both hope and doubt.
