It’s been over a decade since Rockstar Games dropped Grand Theft Auto V, and fans are still waiting for GTA 6.
During this time, the world has experienced monumental events, bizarre trends, and groundbreaking achievements—all while Rockstar stayed busy with cryptic teasers and DLCs.
Let’s take a humorous look at everything we got before GTA 6.
Global Drama and Achievements
1. Brexit Became Reality
The UK officially left the European Union in 2020, a decision that took years of messy negotiations. Meanwhile, Rockstar released another GTA Online update.
2. A Global Pandemic Came and Went
COVID-19 turned the world upside down, vaccines were developed at record speed, and society adapted to a “new normal.” But no amount of social distancing brought us closer to GTA 6.
3. Humans Reached for the Stars
SpaceX sent people into orbit, and NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars. Despite humanity exploring space, Rockstar hasn’t let gamers explore a new Vice City.
Tech Developments That Left Rockstar Behind
4. Facebook Became Meta
Mark Zuckerberg rebranded Facebook to Meta and pitched the metaverse. Meanwhile, GTA 5 somehow survived five console generations.
5. AI Revolutionized Everything
ChatGPT emerged as a game-changer, helping people with essays, advice, and creative projects. Unfortunately, even AI can’t predict when GTA 6 will arrive.
Cultural Chaos
6. “Baby Shark” Took Over YouTube
The children’s song became the most-watched video on YouTube, surpassing 13 billion views. Meanwhile, Rockstar’s most popular upload remains GTA 5’s trailer from 2013.
7. TikTok Trends Ruled the Internet
From random dances to viral challenges, TikTok reshaped pop culture. If GTA 6 ever drops, expect a flood of TikTok trends about it.
Absurd Milestones
8. Yanny vs. Laurel Divided the Internet
The viral audio clip had everyone arguing in 2018. In Rockstar terms, that was about seven DLCs ago.
9. The Dress Debate
Was it blue and black or white and gold? Either way, GTA 6 fans are still debating when they’ll get to shop for in-game outfits.
While the world achieved so much, Rockstar remained tight-lipped about GTA 6. From lunar landings to TikTok takeovers, it’s clear the universe moves faster than a GTA 6 release.
