The Last of Us co-director Bruce Straley questioned the intense public interest in Grand Theft Auto 6, prompting a lively and divided response online. The exchange highlights how unusually high expectations around Rockstar’s next game have made even sceptical comments a source of debate among fans.

Some people agreed that the scale of the anticipation can seem excessive, while others defended their enthusiasm by pointing to the series’ reputation and the long gap since Grand Theft Auto V. The discussion centred less on new information about GTA 6 than on differing views of why major game releases attract such attention.
