GTA 6 pre-orders are open, and the most-anticipated video game of the decade is already causing chaos. The sixth installation of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto franchise won't be released until 19 November, but both Sony and Microsoft are already warning of console shortages as people snap up PS5s and Xboxes to play the game on.
If the global economy just about survived the US attack on Iran, GTA 6 might finish it off. Expect productivity to bottom out in late November as people take time off work to play, followed by a collapse in consumption as people shun all other forms of entertainment after getting sucked into GTA 6's vast interactive world.
