For years, fans have speculated whether GTA 6 would be revealed at The Game Awards (TGA). Rockstar, however, had other plans, such as dropping the trailer themselves. But here’s the exciting news: GTA 6 is now officially in the running for the Most Anticipated Game at TGA. And let’s be real—this might be the easiest win in history. The hype around this game is unmatched. You can already picture the champagne popping at Rockstar HQ.
That said, the competition is nothing to scoff at. Alongside GTA 6, you’ll find contenders like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Ghost of Yotei, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Monster Hunter Wilds. According to TGA, the award recognizes a game that “demonstrably illustrates potential to push the gaming medium forward”.
On Reddit, reactions are mixed. Some users criticize the organizers, calling it a foregone conclusion. One comment joked that other publishers might as well skip the ceremony. Another pointed out this likely won’t be the last time we see GTA 6 at TGA, predicting nominations well into 2025 and 2026.
The quickest way to get an overview of all the nominees is by watching the Nominee Announcement Video. It’s a great way to see what’s in store this year. If you want to see GTA 6 in the video, skip straight to minute 5:20, where it gets its well-deserved mention.
