Grand Theft Auto VI may take more than 80 hours to complete, according to Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson, whose playthrough covered the main story and some optional objectives. The reported scale suggests the game could be a major time commitment for players, particularly those aiming to complete all available content.

For comparison, players typically spent about 51.5 hours on GTA V’s story and some side quests, while completionists averaged 89.5 hours. Rockstar has also released a nearly 27-minute extended look at GTA VI, set in the fictional state of Leonida and featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia; it launches on 19 November for $80. The article also warns of a cyber campaign using fake game demos to distribute password-stealing software.
