Expectations for Grand Theft Auto VI are sky-high, and Rockstar Games’ upcoming release is undoubtedly the most anticipated game for 2025. Fans of the franchise have been remarkably patient, enduring over a decade-long wait to learn details about the new installment.
A group of developers, however, couldn’t wait any longer and decided to beat Rockstar to it by creating their own version of GTA VI. Enter Grand Taking Ages VI, a game that appeared unexpectedly on the PlayStation Store. As the name suggests, it’s a satirical take on the eagerly awaited title.
This peculiar project quickly caught attention as it originated as a joke poking fun at the lengthy development of Grand Theft Auto VI, common practices in the gaming industry, and the passion of some die-hard fans.
GTA VI arrives on PlayStation Store, but it’s not the game everyone was expecting
Grand Taking Ages VI appeared out of nowhere on the PlayStation Store and, unsurprisingly, caught the attention of players eagerly awaiting Grand Theft Auto VI. The game clearly has a satirical intent, which is evident from its name.
The parody title is promoted with artwork reminiscent of classic GTA covers, and its description is sure to make you smile as it references the current state of the industry:
“Run your dream game studio while juggling angry fans, corporate chaos, and endless delays. Fight your way through gaming conventions, dodge ruthless journalists, and master the art of creative excuses.”
According to the details, in Grand Taking Ages VI, you’ll build an empire as a video game developer, starting modestly from an office in your apartment. To achieve your dreams, you’ll face off against other creatives and tackle “social media warriors.”
Once you have enough resources, you can rent an office, hire developers, and manage a studio. The description even humorously mentions the PlayStation 6 and includes reviews from “a parallel universe where the game is already out.”
“Inspired by real gaming industry events, Grand Taking Ages VI delivers a satirical take on game development and the endless wait for certain highly anticipated titles. Coming Soon (But actually releasing before October 2025).”
What is Grand Taking Ages VI?
As of now, it’s unclear whether Grand Taking Ages VI is a game that will actually launch on PlayStation consoles or if it’s just an elaborate joke. The title currently has a page on the PlayStation Store, but there are no images, trailers, or additional details pointing to an actual release.
For now, all we can do is wait for the creators to reveal more information and confirm if they genuinely plan to release a parody game paying homage to Rockstar's iconic franchise.
