The postponement of the highly anticipated GTA 6 release until November 2026 has generated comments in all types of areas, even outside the world of video games. During the premiere of the final season of one of Netflix’s most popular series, one of its protagonists didn’t hesitate to joke about the topic in front of the microphones.

The comment, made in a relaxed tone during the red carpet, reflects how much the industry has changed since we last saw a new numbered installment of Rockstar’s most iconic saga. And yes, even the actors who grew up with that original installment are now joking about its long-awaited release.

Stranger Things will end before GTA 6

In an interview with IGN USA, Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in Stranger Things, commented with laughter that the series will reach its finale before the highly anticipated game is released. The actor recalled that when Grand Theft Auto V was released, he was only 11 years old, and that in all that time, he has been able to film five complete seasons of the Duffer brothers’ production.

The anecdote summarizes the magnitude of the time that has passed since the last installment of the saga. According to official confirmation, GTA 6 will finally arrive in November 2026 (unless it is delayed again), a decade and a half after its predecessor.

In the meantime, fans continue to accumulate memes and comparisons that, like Matarazzo’s, reflect the long wait for one of the most anticipated releases in history.
