GTA VI could take 80 hours to finish, so maybe cancel your date now
Rockstar’s Rob Nelson says his GTA VI playthrough took around 80 hours, suggesting the upcoming open-world blockbuster could be a massive time commitment.
Grand Theft Auto VI, the upcoming installment in the beloved gaming franchise, may be a lengthy undertaking for players, according to Rockstar Games co-studio head Rob Nelson. Nelson described the game as "very, very immersive and lengthy," sharing that his own playthrough took around 80 hours, including the main story and optional objectives.
As the November 19 launch approaches, players may want to make room in their schedules for the extensive experience GTA VI promises. While Nelson's estimate does not guarantee every player will spend that long with the game, the sheer scale of the world Rockstar aims to create suggests that the 80-hour figure is a realistic target.
Comparatively, GTA V's main story and side content averages around 51.5 hours. With a staggering 80 hours of potential gameplay, GTA VI will transport players back to the fictional US state of Leonida, where they'll follow the adventures of Jason and Lucia. The extended preview of the game offers a glimpse into its expansive world, characters, and activities.
Rockstar is focused on creating a fully realized environment for players to immerse themselves in, whether they choose to explore every nook and cranny or focus on the main storyline.
