The anticipation for Rockstar Games’ GTA 6 is reaching unprecedented heights. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the game’s release, which is slated for 2025. This prolonged wait has inspired the “before GTA 6” meme, highlighting improbable events that might happen before the game finally launches.
In a creative twist, Instagram user Jared Goldsmith (@jaredbgoldsmith) used this meme to craft a song titled “All Before GTA 6.” The song, which touches on notable trends from recent years in movies, gaming, and other general events, has quickly become a hit among fans. Uploaded on June 26, 2024, just a day after the release of Grand Theft Auto Online’s Bottom Dollar Bounties update, the song has garnered over 127,000 likes.
