Summary
Houston Rockets center Steven Adams said athletes across the NFL and other major leagues could see performance drop in November as they spend time playing Grand Theft Auto VI.
Nov. 19 is the scheduled release date for Rockstar Games' long-awaited sequel, and Adams said the slump should be temporary if players finish the game's story mode within a month.
80 hours is the reported length of a full playthrough including optional objectives, while other estimates put the main story at 45 to 50 hours versus about 32 hours for GTA V.
1.5 million Americans could skip work to play the game at launch, underscoring the scale of anticipation around the first new Grand Theft Auto title in 13 years.
