## Resource

Rockstar Games' extended 26-minute gameplay preview for Grand Theft Auto VI has silenced early skeptics, pulling in over 15 million views on YouTube alone alongside massive viewership on Netflix and creator reaction streams. While some critics labeled the open-world sandbox as "more of the same," unprecedented audience demand is proving otherwise. We break down the explosive cultural impact, the viral gameplay showcasing Vice City's criminal underworld, and how rampant hype has triggered widespread PlayStation 5 Pro hardware shortages—pushing secondary market auction prices north of $2,000.
