GTA 6 is already on the calendar for many US gamers. PCMag estimates that about 12.5 million US adult gamers plan to take paid time off or adjust their work or school schedules to play. The publication commissioned YouGov to conduct the survey.
How PCMag calculated the estimate
YouGov surveyed 2,024 US adults from October 23 to 27, including 1,154 who qualified as gamers. About 8% of those gamers said they planned to take paid leave or rearrange their work or school hours to play.
PCMag applied that share to an estimate of the US adult gaming population. The result measures stated intentions and includes both taking leave and changing schedules.
