Downloading GTA 6? Apparently, it will take some players years – and the community is having a blast!
The hype surrounding GTA 6 is reaching new heights. Preloading for Rockstar's game began yesterday, November 10. But while most players are getting ready for release, one fan apparently has a very different problem: Their download seems to be taking longer than Rockstar took to develop the game. The community is having plenty of fun with it.
On Reddit, user Suitable-Ad3971 posted a screenshot of their download progress and dryly commented: "I should have pre-loaded last year..." Another user managed to top that with an estimated remaining download time of 47 years. While some players need just 25 to 30 minutes to download the game, which weighs in at over 200 GB, others apparently have a much longer wait ahead of them.
"Maybe you should learn to code and develop GTA 6 yourself," one user suggested. Another jokingly pointed out that the original developer had taken 13 years, after all. Other suggestions included taking the PlayStation to McDonald's to download the game there, or asking a friend to download it and send the files via email. Whether the download will finish before GTA 7 comes out remains to be seen. Some older users were reminded of the Napster days, when they would leave their PCs running for days just to download a three-minute song over a dial-up connection.
Whether the screenshot is genuine or not, the community has found itself a new running joke. And if the download really is that slow, perhaps the player should consider pre-ordering GTA 7 already. You never know how long that might take.
