What are GTA 6's chances at The Game Awards?

Per Insider Gaming, GTA 6 sat at 89% for Game of the Year at the time of writing. Resident Evil Requiem follows at 7%, Phantom Blade Zero at 3%. The same Polymarket users rate it 70% for Best Game Direction, 55% for Best Narrative and 53% for Best Audio Design.

The outlet adds that 96% of participants expect first-day sales records, and 100% expect a Metacritic score above 92. Those are bettors' opinions that move with the market. None of it comes from a jury or from Rockstar.

Why the release date matters for awards

According to Insider Gaming, GTA 6 can compete this year because it launches a few days before the submission and nomination cut-off. The game arrives on 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-load opening on 10 November: details are on our release page. No review has been published yet, so these odds remain very speculative.

Why it matters

Nothing concrete until reviews land: an 89% price measures anticipation, not quality. It mostly confirms that the game is seen as a natural awards contender, with the bar set very high before the first controller is picked up. The reviews, then the official nominations, will tell.
