The story can wait. GTA 6 fans know what they'll do first

  • GTA 6 will be released on November 19, 2026, and players are already discussing what they'll dedicate their first hours in the game to
  • According to a Reddit discussion, "playing the story" is surprisingly low on the priority list
  • Testing the driving model, car destruction, and classic police provocation are at the top

There are still four months until the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, but fans already have a clear idea. And it turns out that for a series like GTA, the main story is actually the last thing they deal with after launching the game. A popular Reddit thread, where players compete to share what they’ll dedicate their very first hours in Leonida to, speaks volumes about this.

First, wreck a car, then the plot

The top-rated answer summarizes three rituals every fan of the series knows. First, test the driving physics, then thoroughly demolish a car to see how detailed the damage model is, and finally, provoke the police to understand how aggressively they will react. Many other users agreed – and testing melee combat or the behavior of armed NPC characters also ranked equally high for them.

Not everyone wants to turn Vice City into a war zone immediately

Fortunately, not everyone plans to unleash chaos. A significant portion of players primarily wants to calmly drive around the map, tune into the radio, and soak in the atmosphere. Others are looking forward to walking the streets, listening to passersby’s conversations, and seeking an answer to how alive the world truly is. Some are even heading to specific locations – the beach, the coastal boulevard inspired by the famous Ocean Drive, or an ideal viewpoint from which to enjoy their very first sunset. Rockstar clearly has a lot to gain; players are excited even before they launch the game.

What would be the very first thing you’d do in GTA 6?
