GTA 6 Bags Most Wanted Game Award: What’s Next for Rockstar’s Blockbuster Sequel?
Following in GTA 5's footsteps, GTA 6 is already winning awards before launch. The hype train is gaining serious momentum.
Grand Theft Auto 6 has officially been crowned the Most Wanted Game of 2025 at the Golden Joystick Awards 2024, adding to its growing accolades, coming as a surprise to precisely nobody. This win comes hot on the heels of the title's nomination for "Most Anticipated Game" at The Game Awards 2024, set to take place on December 12.
This achievement places GTA 6 in the same league as its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, which won the "One to Watch" award in 2012 before its record-breaking release. Other iconic entries like Vice City and San Andreas also won similar accolades in their time, setting a high bar for the series.
What's Next for GTA 6?
With Rockstar maintaining radio silence, fans eagerly anticipate news. A recent theory tied to moon phases (yes, you read that right) has fueled speculation that a big reveal might be just around the corner. Some are betting on a new trailer drop within the next month, as Rockstar's recent hirings hint at ramped-up marketing efforts, possibly in partnership with Sony for a PlayStation 5 Pro bundle.
The Countdown Is On
If Take-Two Interactive's timeline holds, we're less than a year away from GTA 6's release. The buzz around the game will likely - and hopefully - intensify as awards season progresses. In the meantime, fans can enjoy Rockstar's steady stream of updates for GTA 5 and GTA Online, including the latest weekly patch, with Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded and Enhanced expected to hit PC early next year.
Stay Tuned
As the hype train gains steam, one thing is clear: GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games in history. Will Rockstar break their silence soon? Keep your eyes on the horizon—or the moon—for answers.
