There likely isn't any other game that has as much of a hype than Grand Theft Auto 6. When that first trailer hit YouTube, the internet came to a stop.

Everyone was talking about it, and they haven't stopped.

Now, fans are already preparing to call in sick on the day of the game's release, which will surely result in an insane number of people missing work.

GTA 6 release: The one-week pandemic?

With the release of GTA 5 a poll was conducted to determine how many people called in sick to play the game directly. A whopping 47% of players didn't show up to work on that fateful day in 2013.

So, of course, we could expect the release of GTA 6 to have an even bigger impact on the work force than its predecessor.

In a post on Reddit, fans already began discussing their plans for the game's release. While many are saying they will book holiday or call in sick, others are thinking a bit bigger.

They may as well go ahead n make it a holiday event like the Solar eclipse

A GTA 6 Day does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Don't worry, we won't tell the boss if you don't!

What are you planning? Will you take the day off to play GTA 6?
