Grand Theft Auto VI Can Change the World When Its Releases on November 19

2026 has plenty of highly anticipated video games coming out. Obviously, it’s the ninth Resident Evil installment, Resident Evil Requiem, which features Leon S. Kennedy as one of the two main characters and releases this month. We can also speak about Control Resonant, Remedy’s biggest project yet, the ambitious RPG Crimson Desert, Forza Horizon 6, which headed to Japan, 007 First Light and Nioh 3, but there is only one game that has the title of one of the most anticipated gaming projects ever.

Yes, no surprise, it’s Grand Theft Auto VI. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has confirmed the release of GTA VI will not be postponed, as some gamers might have been concerned, and millions of players cannot wait to see what Rockstar Games has cooked up this time.

When Grand Theft Auto V originally released back in 2013 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game’s sales in the first 24 hours were more than 800 million dollars, and we can only guess what number GTA VI will have. Moreover, there are theories Grand Theft Auto VI could literally change the world (for some time) when it releases on November 19. As the X social media account GTA 6 Updates reveals, the game could have a massive influence on the Internet, workplaces, traffic, and even school visits, as you can check below:

“GTA 6 will freeze the world for 24 hours:

Rockstar’s servers hit historic pressure with millions attempting to log in at the exact same time in what is possibly the heaviest load in gaming history;

The internet breaks as streams shatter records and social feeds are flooded within minutes;

Workplaces feel the impact instantly as productivity drops and vacation requests explode overnight;

Entire traffic patterns shift as highways fill early with everyone rushing home simultaneously;

Console sales spike overnight as hidden savings are spent without hesitation on last-minute upgrades everywhere;

Schools report record absences for one universal reason: launch day;”

Speaking of Rockstar Games’ servers it’s almost guarantee that not all the players will be able to play Grand Theft Auto VI at the same time, as numbers of user could be millions. Grand Theft Auto VI might be the biggest video game ever made, and closer we get to the release more hype we might expect to happen. The real hype will probably begin this summer, as Take-Two confirms the marketing for GTA VI will start there.
