The marathon is over. US streamer Kai Cenat finished the GTA 5 campaign on November 11, completing his challenge of playing five GTA games back to back before GTA 6 arrives.

In total, it took just over 130 hours of streaming since the start on November 5. Along the way, he beat GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA 4 and GTA 5, in that order.

Four games in 100 hours

The first four games were done in about 100 hours. Kai finished GTA 4 on November 10, 100 hours and 46 minutes into the marathon, and headed straight to Los Santos.

The final stretch in GTA 5 took just over a day. The stream ended with the game's credits rolling on screen.

More than gameplay

As in his other marathons, the stream featured sets and skits inspired by the games. In one of the most shared moments, Kai recreated GTA 5's peyote plants, which turn the character into an animal, and ended up "becoming" Chop the dog, with editing effects mimicking the game.

The game also delivered its own surprises. During a stunt jump in GTA 5, the physics glitched and left his car in slow motion for more than 30 seconds.

Next stop, Leonida

The marathon was a warm-up. Kai has already said he plans to play GTA 6 until he reaches 100% completion, not just the main story.

GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
