Why It Matters
GTA 6 will be released for Xbox and PlayStation platforms on November 19. The game takes place on a fictional Florida map.
GTA 6 is no longer just a game launch for Hollywood, it is a serious competition issue. Rockstar Games' production will be released for Xbox and PlayStation on November 19. But the concern isn't just in the gaming world, it's also in movie studios, streaming platforms, and movie theaters.
Moreover, many games have brought forward or postponed their release dates in order to avoid confrontation with the new GTA. New news about the game comes almost every day. That's why the industry's eyes are on Rockstar's moves as we get closer to launch day.
Why GTA 6 scares Hollywood
Geoff Keighley, presenter and producer of The Game Awards, described GTA 6 as a production that could be the biggest entertainment launch in history. According to him, the game can even surpass box office giants such as Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three in terms of revenue and reach. Because both of these films are considered among the great cinema productions.
Streaming platforms may lose the most
According to Keighley, streaming services may take the biggest hit. Players are expected to spend their free time not by watching movies and TV series on Netflix, HBO, Disney + or other platforms, but by visiting the fictional Florida of GTA 6. Therefore, the possible decline in viewer numbers is a separate matter of concern for the platforms.
A movie is finished in two or three hours. GTA 6, on the other hand, can keep the player on the screen for weeks or even months. This is due to the long main story, a huge world full of activities and the online mode that is expected to be long-lasting. Therefore, the time allocated to the actors means the time taken from the audience.
New field of competition
Video games are no longer just competing with the gaming industry. It's also competing with movies and streaming services for the viewer's attention and time. It is said that GTA 6 can accelerate this change that Hollywood has been observing for a while. On the other hand, this discourse is based on Keighley's prediction for now.
Whether the concerns will actually be reflected in viewership numbers remains to be seen in the coming months. The GTA 6 Hollywood debate will most likely reignite with the launch. The game will be released on Xbox and PlayStation on November 19.
