“Stay home and give us a break”: US police eagerly await the release of GTA VI

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

A potential surge in crime from “GTA VI copycats” is apparently not a concern.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching — a game that some people have been waiting for over 10 years. Some are worried, assuming that Rockstar Games’ crime-action gameplay could inspire people to commit real crimes.

However, as it turns out, law enforcement officers are also among those awaiting the launch of the new entry in the Rockstar Games franchise. At the very least, the Greensboro Police Department (a city in North Carolina, USA) is eagerly anticipating the release.

A post recently appeared on the department’s social media account:

GTA VI, hurry up and drop already so all of you can stay home and finally give us a break.

Obviously, the release of Grand Theft Auto VI will be a massive event attracting an enormous number of people. It is already known that a great many employees will be taking vacation that month. Gamers will stay home and play, meaning potential criminals and their victims won’t be crossing paths anytime soon as they seek adventures in the virtual state of Leonida.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
