Rockstar Games’ highly awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 still doesn’t have an official release date, but that hasn’t stopped it from already receiving recognition.
The game has been nominated for a fitting award at this year’s The Game Awards.
If you’ve missed the buzz, The Game Awards announced its nominees earlier this week.
While GTA 6 isn’t up for Game of the Year (yet), it has secured a nomination in the “Most Anticipated Game” category.
GTA 6 Leads the “Most Anticipated Game” Nominees
This award recognizes games that have been announced and shown significant potential to make a major impact on the gaming industry.
Here’s the competition in this category:
- Death Stranding: On The Beach
- Ghost of Yōtei
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Grand Theft Auto 6
While the competition is fierce, it’s hard to imagine anything dethroning GTA 6 as the frontrunner.
Many fans believe this is a sure win for Rockstar’s next big project.
Fans React with Humor and Hype
The GTA 6 subreddit was buzzing with excitement and jokes about the nomination. One user, VitMeR, humorously commented, “At this point, the category shouldn’t even exist. Easiest win ever.”
Another user, Some-Gay-Korean, added, “We got GTA 6 winning an award before GTA 6 even releases.”
Fans also took the chance to throw in some wild theories.
Some speculated that this nomination might hint at new updates from Rockstar, like a second trailer or even a closer release timeline.
A user named ToppleToes jokingly said, “If nothing happens on November 22, then the ‘second trailer at TGA because of the nomination’ theory is next. We won’t stop theorizing until that trailer drops.”
A Sign of What’s to Come
While we’re still waiting for concrete news about GTA 6, its nomination alone shows the incredible hype and anticipation surrounding the game.
With fans eagerly awaiting every bit of news, the future of GTA 6 looks brighter than ever.
Let’s see if it takes home the “Most Anticipated Game” award at The Game Awards!
