Houston Rockets center Steven Adams used the team's media day on September 22 to deliver a firm prediction for November. 'You guys should anticipate November, the performance of the league, league-wide... GTA is dropping. So look at NFL, look at all the leagues and watch them plummet, mate,' he told reporters, per CBS Sports. He was joking, mostly.
Adams extended the forecast beyond the players. 'The coaching and scouts are gonna be horrendous, mate. Just for November, but it should bounce back in December, hopefully,' he said, per CBS Sports. He also allowed that 'most of the boys will get it done, but hopefully they finish the game.'
Adams is a veteran center from New Zealand. GTA 6 launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, in the middle of both the NFL and NBA regular seasons. It is the first mainline GTA release in 13 years.
