About

We Got X Before GTA 6, also known as We Got X Before GTA VI, is a phrasal template meme that was popularized in 2023, primarily through comments on platforms such as Reddit and TikTok. The meme plays on the lengthy rollout of the highly anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto 6 from Rockstar Games, with the last game in the series having been released in 2013. Jokes following the template, "No way we got X before GTA 6" typically point to a significant world event, technological advancement or unlikely event that occurred before the release of the game.

Origin

Rockstar Games created the video game series Grand Theft Auto and released GTA V in September 2013. The next game in the series saw a delayed rollout, with fans of GTA expressing their enthusiasm for the next installment of the game long before it was announced.

In the early 2020s, rumors about GTA 6 reached a fever pitch, with jokes following the phrasal template "We got X before GTA 6" being traced to sporadic comments and posts on sites like Twitter[1][2] and Reddit[3] before 2023 (examples seen below).
