F1 driver Lewis Hamilton eagerly awaits the release of GTA 6 and says he will 'cancel' his work when the game launches. Meanwhile, PC gamers express their frustration over Rockstar's decision to delay the PC version, sparking widespread backlash across social media platforms.
With nearly a year to go before the official launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, or GTA 6, excitement among fans is already reaching a fever pitch. But if you think you are the game's biggest fan, think again—Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton might just take the title. While recently speaking to fans ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa on July 27, the British racing icon said that he plans to 'cancel' work when GTA 6 finally drops, admitting, "I'm dying for the new 'Grand Theft Auto' to come out."
The craze for the game is off the charts. Despite Rockstar Games announcing a delay, pushing the game's release date to May 26, 2026, the hype around the long-awaited game remains as strong as ever. However, the delay is expected to dominate the gaming community.
Recently, while speaking to his fans, the 40-year-old F1 racer shared a list of his favourite games. “I’m a big gamer. I play a lot of Call of Duty, but I enjoy Assassin’s Creed and Gran Turismo,” he shared.
He goes on to say that he is 'dying' for Grand Theft Auto VI to release, and he is ready to cancel all his work that day. “I’m dying for the new Grand Theft Auto to come out. GTA 6! Yeah, that’s the one I’m waiting for. I’ll have to cancel all my work when that game comes out.”
Fortunately for Hamilton, there is a break in the Formula 1 calendar when GTA 6 is scheduled to release. According to Dexerto, Hamilton will have just raced in Montreal, Canada, and be getting ready for the Monaco Grand Prix, but there is a good gap for him to lock in on GTA 6.
During the event, Hamilton also shared his favourite video games with his fans. He says he is a big gamer, and he likes to play a lot of games, including
Meanwhile, what was expected to be a moment of excitement has instead led to disappointment for millions of PC gamers worldwide.

Frustrated fans are voicing their discontent across the platforms.
