GTA 6 contest could see you net $500 just for guessing the game's Metacritic score
Fancy netting yourself a $500 gift card? You can do so simply by guessing what Grand Theft Auto VI’s Metacritic score will be.
Metacritic has seemingly partnered with Fandom in order to launch a competition where soon-to-be GTA VI players can guess the game’s Metascore ahead of its release on November 19.
All you need to do to enter is head to the dedicated website set up by Fandom where you’ll find a slider allowing you to land on a score from zero to 100.
Fair to say, most entrants are probably going to opt for the ‘Favourable’ green region which features scores of 75 and above.

It’s one prediction per person, although you can edit your prediction right up until the contest closes on Tuesday November 17 at 11.59pm ET / Wednesday November 18 at 4.59am GMT.
All correct entries will, if you opt in, be entered into a sweepstakes draw where you could walk away with a $150, $250, or $500 Visa gift card.
Thousands of fans have already entered the draw and when you do enter, you’ll be able to see the median score based on the prediction of fellow fans.
Unfortunately, the contest is only available to residents of the United States and you have to be aged 18-plus to enter.
Winners are set to be drawn around November 25 and announced after November 30.
Many flocked to share their predictions in response to Metacritic sharing news of the contest.
“First 100/100 game in history of gaming. Mark my words,” replied one Twitter/X user.
“95 I’m gonna take a wild guess and say some will give it a lower score because of performance issues because of 30fps on consoles,” added another.
It appears that 98 is a very popular guess, making up the vast majority of responses to the tweet.

GTA 6’s first ratings have seemingly already surfaced on PlayStation
GTA VI’s first ratings appear to have surfaced already after a number of scores were datamined from the PlayStation Store’s backend.
It’s claimed that GTA VI has 11 ratings with everyone so far awarding the title a perfect score of five out of five.
This has to be taken with a hefty pinch of salt though, as the supposedly datamined ratings haven’t been verified.
If they are real, they could belong to media and creators with the game in hand, or they could simply have been left by Rockstar Games developers. You do need a copy of a game in order to leave a review on the PlayStation Store.
It’s been a busy week for GTA VI, with the final countdown to launch well underway.
Rockstar Games announced GTA VI: The Festival, a once-in-a-lifetime launch party, and confirmed that the game will controversially run at 30fps, even on PS5 Pro.
Preloads are available now for those who have digitally pre-ordered the game, with those who opted for a code-in-a-box able to preload from tomorrow, on November 12.
GTA VI launches on November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
