Press to jump
- 0:43Falcon says all launch console versions target 30 FPS, with no alternative performance mode.
- 5:15The campaign is cited at 80 hours or more, and the map at three times Red Dead Redemption 2's size.
- 9:25A weapon carry limit means visible holsters only, with extra guns stored in car trunks.
- 16:00Drive-throughs, nutrition, weight, gym visits and a phone health app shape the characters' bodies.
- 18:29The six-star wanted level returns, with police identifying suspects by clothes, cars and faces.
- 24:03Launch is November 19, with standard and Ultimate editions and a 212 GB install size.
How long will Grand Theft Auto VI take to finish? "GTA 6 will take 80 hours or more to finish," Falcon says in gameranx's "GTA 6: 25 Things You NEED TO KNOW." The rest of the 25-minute countdown fills in what those hours might involve.
It is a roundup, not a review. Falcon, one of the channel's familiar voices alongside Jake Baldino, works through announcements, press reports and leaks, with headlines from IGN and Eurogamer on screen. The video drew roughly 900,000 views in its first eleven hours, and it already has more than twice the comments of a usual full first day on the channel.
Much of the list covers the small chores of criminal life in Leonida, the game's version of Florida. There is a weapon carry limit, so spare firepower goes in the car trunk. Bystanders react when someone openly brandishes a gun. Modern cars need a digital key decoder before they can be stolen, gas tanks need filling and electric cars need charging. Drive-through meals feed a nutrition and weight system, gyms build stamina and muscle, and a phone health app tracks rest and diet. The six-star wanted level returns, with police identifying suspects by their clothing, cars and faces.
Safehouses can't simply be bought, Falcon says. They unlock as story hubs, like the camps in Red Dead Redemption 2, and Jason and Lucia can watch TV, snack and sleep there. The technical side opens with the line some players care about most: "This game is 30 FPS on all consoles." The video ends with the November 19 launch and a 212 GB install, and Falcon advises clearing space and pre-loading early.
The Red Dead comparison runs through the comments. Many viewers welcome a slower, more detailed GTA, while the frame rate splits others between smooth performance and richer visuals. Some joke that New Zealand is about to gain a lot of visitors, a nod to its early time zone. And under a channel built on its Before You Buy reviews, one popular quip says this review will have to be called After You Buy.

Hearing the game is more like RDR2 than GTA5 is music to my ears.
