A Rockstar North boss says his GTA 6 playthrough took about 80 hours

Rob Nelson, co-head of Rockstar North, told The New York Times that his own run through GTA 6 lasted about 80 hours, story and some optional objectives included.

What changed

  • The statement comes from an interview with The New York Times published on August 27, 2026.
  • The 80 hours cover the main story plus some optional objectives that affect the narrative.
  • It is one person's playthrough: the time will vary depending on how much each player explores.
  • That would make it Rockstar's longest Grand Theft Auto; GTA 5's story with some side content averages about 50 hours.
