Despite limited information available on the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, livestreaming platform Kick has already created a dedicated category for the upcoming game. While Rockstar Games has attempted to remove leaked footage of the game featuring two playable characters, rumors about its release continue to circulate. The gaming giant has confirmed the development of the next installment in the series, but has yet to release any official footage, leading to speculation about its release date. This move by Kick, which was established as a response to Twitch's ban on gambling content, could be seen as an indication of the excitement and anticipation surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6.
The Kick Twitter account recently shared an image featuring their recommended games to watch, which included popular titles such as Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone 2, and Fortnite. Interestingly, nestled between two of these games, was a card teasing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 - complete with the Vice City aesthetic that has been hinted at by leaks. While the Kick image mostly highlights the website's anticipation for the sequel to Grand Theft Auto 5, which boasts impressive viewership and player numbers, it's clear that the platform is already preparing for the eventual release of GTA 6.
Rockstar Games has confirmed the existence of GTA 6, and Kick may be taking advantage of this early knowledge to get the category live on their platform before the game's release. As of now, the game has zero viewers on Kick, indicating that it hasn't replaced the still-popular Grand Theft Auto 5, which continues to be streamed by thousands of accounts on the platform. Given the immense popularity of GTA 5 and GTA RP on Kick, Twitch, and YouTube, it's safe to assume that GTA 6 will enjoy a large viewership when it finally hits the market.
The leaked footage of GTA 6 has left fans guessing about the final product. Despite being a relatively new platform, Kick could attract more popular livestreamers like Adin Ross and Buddha, potentially increasing its audience as the game's launch approaches.
