GTA 6 contest offers $500 for guessing its Metacritic score

A contest reported by GAMINGbible asks players to guess GTA 6's Metacritic review score, with a $500 cash prize on offer. Rockstar hasn't confirmed the contest or any link to it.
What is the GTA 6 Metacritic score contest?
GAMINGbible reported on 11 November 2026 that a contest is asking players to predict the Metacritic score GTA 6 will receive once reviews land. The prize for the closest guess is $500 in cash, according to the outlet.
The report does not say who is running the contest or how entries are judged. Rockstar hasn't confirmed the contest, and there is no official word on whether it has any connection to the game's release plans.
Why are players guessing GTA 6's review score?
Review scores are a familiar talking point for big releases, and GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated games in years. A cash prize gives players a reason to put a number on their expectations ahead of launch.
GTA 6 is due on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced. Metacritic scores only appear once outlets publish their reviews, so any guess is speculative until then.
Is the GTA 6 contest official?
There is no indication from Rockstar or Take-Two that the contest is official. Treat the details as reported by GAMINGbible rather than confirmed by the game's makers, and check the contest's own terms before entering anything.
What we're still waiting on
- Who is running the contest and its full terms
- Whether Rockstar or Take-Two has any involvement
