The other side is hoping for something more in <a href=\"https:\/\/red-dead-redemption-2.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a> territory, around 50 to 60 hours, maybe even more, especially now that more than a decade has passed since Grand Theft Auto V.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was also an <strong>unverified leak<\/strong> in August 2025 that claimed a 75-hour main story, broken into a prologue and five chapters, though none of that has been confirmed. If pacing and mission variety matter more to you than sheer size, that&#8217;s probably the part to keep an eye on, particularly since a lot of players end up spending more time messing around in Grand Theft Auto&#8217;s sandbox and side activities anyway. One stat people keep bringing up says only 22% of Grand Theft Auto V players actually finished the final mission.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S when it launches on <strong>November 19, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Red Dead Redemption 2\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/9b335ffa-580a-4de6-9226-e2d751e10ac9\/83498064\/red-dead-redemption-2-Download-red-dead-redemption-2-for-windows.jpeg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Red Dead Redemption 2<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/red-dead-redemption-2.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/red-dead-redemption-2.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S on November 19, 2026, and people are already arguing about one thing: how long the story actually ought to be.
