Rockstar Games might have unlocked the secret to award farming with Grand Theft Auto 6, now set to go home with its 'nth trophy after being recently delayed from its original May 26, 2026, release date. The announcement came during a livestream on November 17, when The Game Awards revealed nominees across more than 30 categories.
GTA 6 finds itself competing against Marvel's Wolverine, The Witcher 4, Resident Evil Requiem, and 007 First Light for the Most Anticipated Game award. GTA 6 already won this exact award last year. Now, due to multiple delays that have pushed the release date past Fall 2025, the game has become eligible for the same award again. If it wins, it would join Elden Ring as the only games to claim the award twice.
Despite going up against heavy hitters, GTA 6's chances remain as strong as ever. The entire industry is reportedly watching GTA 6 closely, making adjustments to their release schedules based on its release date. We already know that Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and The Outer Worlds 2 couldn't be more than happy to see GTA 6's initial delay.
