Hey, what's up everyone? It's Will and one of the biggest walkthrough YouTubers out there just rated something 9.5 out of 10 with zero context. Plus, PlayStation is sending out preload warnings. 919's Takeover just got a lot bigger and Straw Zelnik just took a shot at another game's launch. After everything we got this morning, there is so much to unpack. So, this is Sherco and if you don't know him, he runs one of the biggest walkthrough channels on YouTube with around 2.6 6 million subscribers. He's known for no commentary 4K playthroughs of the biggest games, usually right at launch. Back on October 24th, I talked about a post he put up with a controller emoji and a palm tree emoji, and there were no words with it. People immediately thought it meant that he had GTA 6 because palm trees and by city go hand in hand. He also had already announced huge GTA 6 coverage on his channel. He's talking about the full story, side missions, and 100% completion guide, and even videos testing the NPCs and AI, all captured on a PS5 Pro. Now, he's back with another post, and this one just says 9.5 out of 10. That's it. He didn't name a game or give any context. So, did he already finish GTA 6? Now, grain of salt here because he hasn't said it's about GTA 6 and Rockstar hasn't said who has the game, obviously, but the timing does line up. Back in October, Nate Hate said review codes could go out before the end of the month. And of course, then he messaged and said that they did and a reported embargo as reviews going live on November 18th, somewhere between 6 and 7 a.m. Eastern. So, Shuraku got a copy at the end of October. He's had a couple of weeks with it, and that's plenty of time for somebody who plays games for a living to get through the story. Personally, I think he's played it. Posting 9.5 out of 10 with no context feels like his way of telling people without actually telling people. I'd also assume it doesn't break any NDA since he never said what he's rating. It could technically be about anything, even lunch. But at the same time, he also could definitely just be trolling us, too. If he does have it, I would be very careful online over the next couple of weeks. Walkthrough channels usually post the second they're allowed to. So, mute some keywords if you want to go in blind. Now, one more thing about that score. GTA V and Red Dead 2 both sit at 97 on Metacritic. So, if this is about GTA 6, a 9.5 would actually be a hair below Rockstar's last two games. Obviously, this is his own opinion and it's still an insane score. So, I would take a 9.5 every day of the week, but I'm going to be honest, I think it's a lot higher. And speaking of getting ready, PlayStation has started sending out notifications asking, "Is your PS5 console ready for preload?" It's reminding people to clear up enough space for GTA 6. The game takes up 212 GB, and PlayStation posted the same reminder on X, telling everybody to clear 212 GB before preload starts on November 10th. And that's a lot of space. An original PS5, you've got about 667 gigabytes you can actually use. So GTA 6 alone takes up a third of it. On an Xbox Series S, it's even worse. That's about 58% of the usable space for one game. PS5 preload starts on November 10th at midnight local. Xbox starts Monday night, November 9th here in the US. Physical copies got moved up obviously to November 10th. And each box is a download code you can use right away. Then there's this one. Tom Warren shared a screenshot of a web interface showing GTA 6 as last played 16 hours ago with four friends playing right now. For a second, it looked like people already had the game. It turned out to just be a mockup. So, nobody's actually playing it on there, at least in this case. Still, it is pretty crazy to see GTA 6 sitting in a friends list like that. In 2 weeks, that's going to be every single friends list. I just wanted to share this one here just so you guys know, this is a mockup. It's not real. However, these people are playing it early with the review copies. It's clearly gated down, so we have no way to see it. Now, 919, we just got a lot more details, and this is way bigger than one night. 11 put out an official press release today, and 919 is now a month-long takeover from November 6th to December 6th. The grand opening is tomorrow night with Flow Rider, and it's doubling as a birthday party for Gino Linto, one of 11's longtime partners. The signage and branding will say 919 for that whole month. There's also a GTA 6 launch party on November 20th, the day after the game comes out with a special performance from an artist they haven't announced yet. The GTA 6 cars that have been driving all around Miami and Miami Beach are going to be on display at the club. They're also selling 11x919 merch, like limited edition hats at the club and online at 919. Club. 11's co-founder Dennis Gory basically said that for GTA fans, all roads now lead to 919. That's a fun little twist on 11's own line. And Club Space is right across the street, too. It turns into the vault from November 20th through the 22nd and Circle Loco Records takes over that Sunday. So on November 20th, you could hit 919 launch party and the vault on the same block on the same night. Now, let's get into Straw Zelnik. He sat down with the Wall Street Journal and he talked about GTA 6's delays. GT6 got delayed twice. First from fall of 2025 to May 2026 and then to November 19th. Strazzelnik said these are very difficult decisions and that sometimes you have to make expensive and inconvenient calls to make the best entertainment possible. Then he talked about what happens when companies go the other way. He said some are slavishly devoted to a schedule and just ship no matter what's going on. He said he wasn't going to throw any competitors under the bus. In the past few years, though, there was a very high-profile release that shipped and had to get pulled because it didn't work. He didn't say the name, but pretty much everybody thinks he's talking about Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk launched in December of 2020, and about a week later, Sony pulled it from the PlayStation store and started giving refunds. It didn't come back to the store until the summer of 2021. He also brought up another time at Take 2 when he pushed to ship a game, and he joked that thankfully he was right. For me, the delays were completely worth it. Nobody wants a GTA 6 that gets pulled off the store a week after launch. And obviously, that's easier to say now since we're a lot closer. Those delays were brutal, but we're here now. But really, the part of this interview everybody is talking about happened a little earlier. The interviewer told Straw Zelnik that Take 2 really needs a game like GTA 6 because the company doesn't have enough hits. And you can see right here, this is the reaction. I mean, he was completely caught off guard. He pointed out that Take 2 has 15 franchises that have each sold at least 5 million units. Then there's GTA 5. It's sold well over 200 million copies and Red Dead 2 is past 80 million. Those are two of the bestselling games ever made. So, that clip obviously blew up pretty fast. To be fair, interviewers sometimes ask questions for a general audience, but that was a wild thing to say to the CEO of the company behind GTA V, Red Dead 2, and of course, GTA 6. Straw did handle it pretty good, and he laid out all of the facts and pretty much said, "Yeah, we're doing pretty good." So, this is where things stand. We are 14 days out and 919 opens tomorrow night with a flow rider. Xbox preload starts Monday night and PS5 preload starts the exact same day. Reviews are reportedly going live on November 18th and GTA 6 of course comes out on November 19th. So now with that all out of the way, I want to hear from you. Do you think Shurakos already played GTA 6? And also, is your console ready for 212 GB? Let me know in the comments down below. I'll be reading through all of them.
