THE game of the decade. No PC version at launch (likely 2027-2028).
Grand Theft Auto VI is #1 in the HypeTracker ranking, steady this week, with 728.6 M measured views, including +4.7 M over the last 7 days. Its hype comes 78% from official and media trailers.
This week in the comments
This week the community erupted over the Netflix deal that locks the new trailer behind a paid subscription for six hours, reigniting the anti-corporate anger that's been building for months. The tone stays largely negative, mixing mockery of the marketing stunt with growing fatigue over the total absence of gameplay.
Paywalled Netflix trailer sparks outrage
About 40% of this week's comments target the Netflix partnership giving 6-hour early access to the trailer for subscribers. Many see it as a dangerous precedent for the industry.
Still zero gameplay footage
With under 100 days to launch, the total absence of gameplay remains a major sore point, cited in nearly one in five comments this week.
The countdown becomes a ritual
Comments like "98 days" and "100 days to go" punctuate the week, a sign the wait has become a collective marathon despite the surrounding frustration.
Greed remains the No.1 complaint
Netflix and Sony boycotts, "cash grab" accusations, distrust of Take-Two: the greed narrative continues, fueled by this week's deal.
Top reactions and controversies
The ongoing greed trial
Dominant takeRockstar, Take-Two and Sony are repeatedly accused of being a "cash grab," losing their satirical soul, and treating fans as cattle to be monetized—a throughline since the game was first announced.
No disc in the "physical" edition
ControversyThe absence of a disc in the physical box crystallizes anti-digital-only anger, even as part of the "no disc no buy" crowd preordered anyway—something others gleefully point out.
The countdown as a collective ritual
Dominant takeSince the reveal, fans have been counting the days, joking about "surviving" until launch, and sharing how their lives changed during the wait. A nostalgic folklore runs through every period.
$80 vs $100: the real price that stings
ControversyMany argue the "standard" edition is deliberately gutted to disguise a real $100 price tag, while others consider it justified after thirteen years of waiting and a massive budget.
No gameplay: a constant frustration
Dominant takeDespite several trailers, no gameplay has been shown at all—an anomaly the community keeps hammering as launch approaches.
Staff photo sparks a "woke" controversy
ControversyA photo of the dev team reignited debate over the studio's alleged "woke" turn, pitting those who see a lost identity against those who call the criticism excessive or misplaced.
