GTA 6 Release Ends 13-Year Wait and Its Beloved Meme

Rockstar Games has officially set November 19 as the release date for Grand Theft Auto 6, ending a 13-year wait since GTA V launched in September 2013. The gaming community is reacting with excitement and disbelief as the long-awaited sequel finally arrives. The "before GTA 6" meme, which humorously highlighted random events occurring before the game's release, became a global phenomenon. It spread from gaming circles to brands, news outlets, and even governments, with users filling in the blank with any absurd occurrence. As the release approaches, fans are getting emotional about retiring the meme, with one user calling it "the longest week in the history of weeks." The joke's simplicity and versatility made it a cultural touchstone throughout the extended wait.
