Something can have too much hype - ask CD Projekt Red after Cyberpunk 2077. Now, though, GTA 6 may be verging on such territory, being a sequel in development for over a decade and such. As such, it's amusing that the two games now share a distinct honor when it comes to generating buzz.
They are two of only three releases so far to earn the Most Wanted award at the Golden Joysticks two years on the trot. Cyberpunk 2077 took home the trophy in 2018 and 2019, while Grand Theft Auto 6 got it in 2024 and this year, 2025. The third game to manage this fear? The Witcher 3, in 2013 and 2014.
