GTA 6 poll: some fans would give up pets to play early

A poll of 1,300 American gamers found that some fans would give up their pets for a chance to play GTA 6 before its release. IGN reported the survey's findings on 3 November 2026.

What did the GTA 6 fan poll find?

A survey of 1,300 American gamers has turned up some striking answers about how far fans would go to play GTA 6 early. Some said they would give up their pets for the chance to get in ahead of launch.

IGN reported the poll's findings on 3 November 2026, describing the results as a concerning set of trends about fans' willingness to abandon their animals for early access. The game is still due on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Is early access to GTA 6 confirmed?

No early access plan has been announced. Rockstar has not said anything about players getting the game before its release date, and the poll only measures what fans say they would trade for it.

The survey is a snapshot of fan feeling, not a sign that early copies are on the way. Treat any claim of playing GTA 6 before 19 November with caution unless it comes from Rockstar, Take-Two, Sony or Microsoft.

Why are fans so keen?

The wait since the game was first shown has been long, and the release is now close. That combination tends to make fans restless, and surveys like this one often capture the mood rather than any real plan.

For now, the confirmed details remain the date and the two consoles. There is still no PC version announced.
