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 1.1 Md measured views, including +8.5 M over the last 7 days. Its hype comes 61% from official and media trailers.
This week in the comments
The week is driven by outrage over a $400 collector's box with no game in it and a heated fight over the female lead, while the ~50-day countdown fuels quieter excitement. The tone leans sour rather than hyped, and much of the sample sits under reaction videos.
$400 collector's box: "merch, no game"
~25% of the week's comments slam the price and contents (spoon, mirror, pins) and the missing disc. Top-liked ones call it greed and "theft". A small minority notes it's an optional merch kit.
Lucia and Jason: the "woke" row
~20% of weekly talk revolves around a video attacking the female lead. Most commenters defend the couple and call out male insecurity; a smaller camp talks of forced narrative.
Countdown: 50 days and counting
~15% of comments count down days, mention booked time off or rewatch on loop. It is the week's most upbeat vein.
Backlash spills onto the video's author
A few widely echoed comments attack the video's creator over serious, unverifiable accusations; discussion drifts from the game to the person.
Top reactions and controversies
No disc, a disguised $100 price
ControversyAfter pre-orders opened, the disc-less "physical" edition and the $80/$100 gap (locked content) shocked many. Lots see a true $100 price and float boycotts or piracy.
Surviving the wait until November
Dominant takeDark humor about gamers who "died waiting", countdowns and trailer rewatching: the 13-year wait is now a unifying meme.
Rockstar became what it parodied
Dominant takeRecurring theme: greed, Dan Houser's exit, a renewed team. Many feel the franchise's soul and satire are gone.
Marketing: trailer 3 and the trailer for a trailer
ControversyLong silence, pre-orders with no gameplay, then a Netflix-first preview: mass mockery. Some find paying for an ad absurd, others shrug (YouTube six hours later).
Female lead and "woke" talk
ControversyLucia and a staff photo trigger a clash: one camp fears a political turn, the other denounces sexism and defends the lead.
Hype for the scale of the world
Dominant takeWhen the game itself is discussed: music, detail, NPCs and a living world draw admiration, with strong Vice City nostalgia.
