Social Media Post Resurfaces, Fueling ‘Time Travel’ Speculation
A social media post from 2020 that predicted the release date of GTA 6 has recently resurfaced online, leading some fans to believe in “time travel.” The post, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter), stated: “It is November 19 2019, I am waiting on GTA 6. It is November 19 2020, I am waiting on GTA 6. It is November 19 2022, I am waiting on GTA 6. It is November 19 2024, I am waiting on GTA 6. It is November 19 2026.”
This prediction aligns with the current scheduled release date of GTA 6, set for 19 November 2026. The accuracy of the post has sparked intense debate among fans, with some joking that the user might have used time travel to predict it. Others suggest it could be a coincidence or even a case of “blind luck.”
The post was recently shared in the GTA 6 subreddit by user deep_fried_cheese, who added: “Thoughts on this? I think it’s possible because this is probably the biggest reason throughout all of history that someone would want to utilise time travel.” Fans have since responded with a mix of humor and speculation.
- CozieWeevil said: “There was a similar case years ago where there was apparently a Twitter time traveller who managed to predict so much hyper specific stuff. It turned out they had been posting multiple predictions and deleting the incorrect ones.”
- JamesLikesIt said: “Bro discovers time travel and uses it just to find out when GTA 6 releases.”
- extremewah said: “We got time travel before GTA 6.”
Redditor Counts Trees in Official GTA 6 Screenshot
In another intriguing development, a Redditor named Temporary-Cicada-392 counted the number of trees in an official GTA 6 screenshot of Leonida Keys. They explained their process and concluded that there were approximately 14,287 trees, with some variation due to background calculations.
Comparing this to the foliage density in Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshots, the user noted that the RAGE engine appears to be pushing at least four times the foliage density. This has led to further discussions about the game’s scale and detail.
- Jakarta5 said: “I count 14,233 you must have counted some of them twice.”
- Dry-Fault-5557 said: “God help me.”
- Particular_Hand2877 said: “Now we’re counting trees lol.”
