Summary
Around 3 million Britons are considering taking sick leave on November 19 to play Grand Theft Auto VI, according to a Hisense survey of UK consumers.
21% of Brits said they plan to play the game this month and another 28% are considering it soon, underscoring the scale of demand for the first new GTA title in 13 years.
22% of prospective players plan an all-nighter and 16% expect to cancel other plans, while average playtime is projected at 46 hours before Christmas.
That figure rises to 100 hours for 9% of hardcore players, reflecting pent-up interest in a franchise returning players to Vice City's setting after a 24-year gap.
