Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the hype around GTA 6 is real. Rockstar Games finally dropped the first trailer in December 2023, and it’s already smashed over 200 million views. With the game set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year (fingers crossed for no delays!), fans are buzzing about one big question: How long will the GTA 6 story be?

Let’s dive into what we know—and what fans are saying.
What We Know About GTA 6 So Far
Rockstar has kept details under wraps, but here’s what we’ve gathered:
- The game is set in a modern-day version of Miami (and possibly other North American regions).
- It features a criminal duo, Jason and Lucia, as the main protagonists.
- The map is expected to be massive, with plenty of side missions and random encounters.
But the burning question remains: How many hours will it take to beat the story?

Fan Speculations on Reddit
Fans on Reddit have been sharing their predictions, and the guesses range from 40 to 120 hours. Here’s what some of them had to say:
- Jolly_Ad6643: “GTA V took 30 to 50 hours. I hope GTA 6 is longer!”
- MysteriousBrick6057: “The sweet spot would be 50 to 60 hours, excluding side missions.”
- Iburntmym0uth: “I think it’ll be shorter than Red Dead Redemption 2, around 40 hours. Just pace it well!”
- Wokekyller: “Maybe 110 to 120 missions to keep us busy for 10 to 15 years!”
While some fans want a longer story, others are more focused on quality over quantity. A well-paced, engaging narrative could be just as satisfying as a 100-hour epic.
What Does This Mean for Gamers?
If GTA 6 follows the trend of Rockstar’s previous games, we can expect:
- A main story that takes 40 to 60 hours to complete.
- Tons of side content, mini-games, and exploration opportunities that could easily double or triple that playtime.
- A rich, immersive world that rewards players who take their time to explore every corner.
For gamers like me, who love to dive into every nook and cranny, GTA 6 could easily become a 100+ hour adventure.
