In fact, the anticipation is even spreading beyond gaming circles. The Greensboro, North Carolina police department took to their X account recently to share how much they were looking forward to GTA 6 coming out. “GTA 6 needs to hurry up and get here so y’all can stay home and let us catch a break,” they joked in the post.
