Some players' next vacation destination does not require a plane ticket. It is Leonida. A Wall Street Journal report follows fans saving time off to play GTA 6 when it arrives on November 19.
The 13-year wait since GTA 5 helps explain their preparations. For these players, release day has taken on the importance of an unofficial holiday, with room on the calendar to explore Rockstar's new world at their own pace.
Time off with a controller
In the newspaper's video, reporter Ashley Wong presents people planning to spend part of their vacation on the game. Their interest goes beyond finishing the story quickly. Some want the freedom to explore and simply spend hours in the world.
The report features a 36-year-old former professional wrestler holding games from his collection. Getting ready also involves organizing a space at home for the gaming session.
A launch already on the calendar
The footage shows anticipation moving beyond trailer discussions and into working people's plans. These are examples of fans preparing, rather than a measure of how many people will take time off.
If you are planning your own schedule, our GTA 6 launch-time table includes regional unlocks and their equivalents in Brasília, Brazil (UTC−3).
