GTA 6's Late Review Strategy May Upend The Game Awards 2026

Grand Theft Auto 6's planned release on November 19, with no advance review copies, may disrupt The Game Awards 2026 nominations. As the runaway favorite for Game of the Year, its late review access could lead to underrepresentation in nominations, potentially causing chaos in the awards' voting process. This strategy, including controlled review events, aims to prevent leaks but may impact its recognition at the awards.
