I gave ChatGPT one mission ahead of GTA 6 — here's everything it told me to do to get ready for the biggest game of the year
After asking ChatGPT a few questions about the best ways to prepare for GTA 6, it gave me a list of things to do, games to play and possible items to buy to build even more hype.
The date of November 19, 2026 has been marked on my calendar, with plans to take PTO to enjoy Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. While the game's launch might not involve a physical disc, the excitement surrounding it is undeniable. To get ready for the release, I turned to ChatGPT and asked it to provide a list of tasks, games to play, and gaming gear to enhance my GTA 6 experience.
ChatGPT suggested several activities to prepare for the launch, including muting GTA 6-related keywords on social media to avoid spoilers. The most crucial pre-launch ritual, as per ChatGPT, was to ensure my console storage was ready for GTA 6. Rockstar announced that the game would require 212 GB of storage on PS5 consoles, with pre-loading beginning on November 10 at midnight Eastern Time. With an available capacity of 685 GB on my PS5 Pro, I was confident that my console would be ready for the pre-load process.
When asked what games would help me get in the right mood for GTA 6, ChatGPT recommended 10 titles, five of which were first-time experiences for me. These games included Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition, Red Dead Redemption 2, Watch Dogs 2, Saints Row: The Third Remastered, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut. Each of these games offers a unique open-world experience, with Vice City and Red Dead Redemption 2 being particularly noteworthy for their immersive worlds, memorable characters, and engaging storylines.
For enhancing my gaming experience, ChatGPT provided recommendations for gaming monitor, headset, and soundbar purchases. For a monitor, I considered the ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCDS for its value or the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 for its screen treatment and smart-monitor features. As for headsets, the Sony INZONE H9 II was suggested for its comfort and compatibility with the PS5 Pro.
In terms of soundbars, the Samsung HW-Q990F was recommended for a TV setup, while the Sonos Beam Gen 2 was suggested for smaller rooms. It was also noted that compatibility issues may arise when purchasing a monitor and soundbar together, so additional audio extraction or adapter devices might be necessary.
