IShowSpeed jokes that he “might not even be alive” when GTA 6 releases in 2025

Rockstar Games officially released the first trailer for GTA 6 sooner than expected, leaving the internet in a frenzy. YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" joined the ranks of prominent content creators who reacted to the viral phenomenon on December 5, 2023. After watching the one-minute 30-second video, the Ohio native exclaimed joyfully.

However, after learning that the highly anticipated open-world title would be released in 2025, IShowSpeed became visibly disheartened. Making a lighthearted remark that he "might not even be alive" by the time GTA 6 releases, here's what the recently unbanned Twitch personality had to say.
