Published On: 5 December, 2024

Are you planning to take a day or two off from work when GTA 6 finally drops?

If so, you’re not alone!

It looks like many gamers are already thinking about calling in “sick” when the highly anticipated game is released.

It’s hard not to imagine what launch day will look like—offices strangely empty, with employees all “catching a cold” at the same time.

And why?

To dive into one of the biggest game releases ever!

While we still don’t have a confirmed release date, all signs point to GTA 6 arriving in fall 2025.

The earlier worries about delays seem to have eased, making the end of 2025 a likely target.

Prepare for the Craze

When Rockstar Games finally announces the official release date, expect chaos as players rush to book time off.

Some influencers are already joking that launch day might feel like a national holiday.

For retail workers, in particular, it could be a challenging day with so many people clamoring to get their hands on the game.

One Reddit thread shared a TikTok from user @lukestephenstv, who predicted GTA 6’s release day will be unforgettable.

Their advice?

Once the release date is revealed, lock in your time off early to avoid missing out.

Fans in the Reddit thread seemed ready to follow that advice.

One commenter said, “I know I’m definitely taking the release day off.”

Another joked, “It might as well be a public holiday. It’s not just retail workers who will feel the impact.”

Some fans even compared it to the GTA 5 launch back in 2013.

“Now that the game is much bigger than it was in 2013, the excitement will be on another level,” said one commenter.

GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games ever.

If you’re a die-hard fan, taking a day off to immerse yourself in the game before spoilers flood the internet might be the best way to enjoy it.

So, are you already thinking about using your vacation days for GTA 6?

It’s safe to say this launch will be an event to remember!
