"GTA VI" takes 80 hours to complete the main plot and branch plots, the co-head of Rockstar North Studio confirmed in person

80 hours, this is the time it took Rob Nelson, co-head of Rockstar North, the co-development studio of "Grand Theft Auto VI", to finish the game. He revealed this number in an interview with New York Times reporter Christopher Byrd. Playthrough covers the main plot and some branch objectives, and is not the shortest path to the main plot.

It will be more interesting to compare the data of the previous game "Grand Theft Auto V". According to statistics from How Long to Beat, it takes most players 51.5 hours to complete the main plot plus some branches. To complete the game 100%, it takes an average of 89.5 hours. The longest record for the PlayStation 5 version even reaches 132 hours and 36 minutes. Nelson did not specify how much side content he completed in his 80 hours this time, but players who want to completely beat "GTA VI" can probably use the GTA V completionist hours as a mental preparation.

Information about the game itself is also being released simultaneously. Rockstar previously premiered the extended trailer exclusively on Netflix, and has now uploaded it to YouTube. The trailer is nearly 27 minutes long, and the content brings out the fictional American state of Leonida, the protagonists Jason and Lucia, and the various activities they can do in this world.

Grand Theft Auto VI will be available on November 19th for $80. Less than three months before the release, Engadget also reminded in the report that there have been recent cyber attacks to trick players into downloading files under the guise of a "demo version". In fact, it is an infostealer malicious program that steals browser passwords. Players are advised not to risk downloading so-called demos from unknown sources and wait until the official launch.

In exchange for this money, the number of animations increased sharply from 55,000 to 600,000 for "GTA V", which was also accompanied by long-term rush disputes exposed by employees.
