So, there is only one major release this year, and to many this game is their most wanted game of the entire generation.

In your opinion, how well will this game score?
 
Probably the same of 4 or above.

I bet Nintendo fanboys will try to "review bomb" so that the second remake of the same game ends up with a higher score than GTA 6, but I doubt they'll succeed.
 
I'm assuming 96, you're always going to have some outliers bringing the score down. Getting a 99 is near impossible. Maybe a 97 can be achieved.

It depends entirely if critics are reviewing the actual game or if they're scared of losing access to future Rockstar games

I'm out of touch with some details. Will this game release on Series S?
I wonder if Xbox sites can pull the score down if it runs poorly there.
 
I think from what I've seen a floor of 95 is 100% locked in my mind. Through the gameplay trailer and the preview and interviews it is clear that there's a shit ton of varied type of content and that this content looks good to the eyeballs. It is also delivering what people generally want from GTA. Higher requires the narrative of the game which is an unknown at this point. There's probably an element of how reviewers feel about the Rockstar formula in 2026 that could play a small role.

No, PC gamer and the other butthurt pctard sites will lower the score, cause they have to play on a ps5.

Yes it'll be on Series S but as we can see, even on Microsoft's own games no one reviews it on Xbox anymore lol. And if it's reviewed on Series S it would just affect the Xbox score of the game. Metacritic shows the score for whichever platform had the most reviews.

The game looks like it's going to be combining the best of GTA with the best of RDR, like you said I think this game getting under a 95 is near unthinkable unless there are major technical problems (but I don't think Rockstar would release it if it had those).
 
98 I think it will beat GTA5 but not GTA4 on metacritic.
Expecting it to be the highest rated title this gen so my floor is Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3.
