GTA 6, the highly anticipated video game from Rockstar Games, may be considered for the prestigious Game of the Year award at the Game Awards, but its eligibility is still uncertain. Alanah Pearce, a well-known actress and screenwriter in the video game industry, recently expressed doubts about GTA 6’s chances of winning all the awards at this year’s Game Awards. She pointed out that the game’s release date might place it at the edge of the eligibility window for the TGA, or The Game Awards. The traditional deadline for games to be eligible for nomination at the TGA is usually set around the release date of GTA 6 this year. However, some critics have challenged this view, noting that last year’s deadline was November 21, just two days after GTA 6 is scheduled to be released this year. This raises questions about whether the game can be completed in time for the voting process and whether the jury would be willing to vote for a game they haven’t finished. Such a situation could lead to ethical concerns about the fairness of the voting process. Geoff Keighley, the director of the Game Awards, has the authority to adjust the voting deadlines if necessary. Additionally, Rockstar Games could provide the jury members with early access to the game before the deadline. If GTA 6 is not eligible for this year’s awards, it may still have a chance in 2027. Rumors suggest that Rockstar Games plans to launch the online mode for GTA 6 in the following year, which could give the game renewed attention and popularity. If the online mode proves successful, GTA 6 could become a strong contender in the 2027 awards, competing with other major titles like Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet from Naughty Dog. This potential resurgence may give Rockstar Games a realistic chance to win awards in the future.
