Grand Theft Auto 6 is only nine days away, and the game is clearly done. Rockstar Games has confirmed it has gone gold, digital pre-loads are already live on PlayStation 5, and the review embargo is reportedly set for 18 November, the day before launch. With review copies out in the wild, the first signs of what people think of it are starting to leak out, this time through the PlayStation Store itself.
Five stars from the first players
As spotted by X account PS Store DB, which tracks the PlayStation Store’s backend, GTA 6 has received its first ratings on PSN, with 11 players giving it a perfect 5/5. The ratings aren’t publicly visible on the store yet, and only show up through PlayStation’s API.
Dataminer Cokymoky later reported that the count had risen to 12, with an average of 4.67. One player had apparently given it a single star, although that rating was reportedly later changed to five stars too.
Who’s rating it?
What makes this more interesting than usual is that you can only rate a game on PSN if you own it and have played it. Since GTA 6 isn’t out yet, the most likely explanation is that these ratings come from people who already have early copies, such as reviewers and media.
That said, a dozen star ratings tell us very little. PSN ratings are notoriously generous, with plenty of games sitting well above 4.5 regardless of how good they actually are. We’ll get a much clearer picture when reviews go live, reportedly on 18 November, ahead of GTA 6’s launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on 19 November.
