GTA 6: Kai Cenat Will Stream All 5 Classic GTAs Before Launch

Streamer Kai Cenat announced he will stream all five mainline Grand Theft Auto games back to back before GTA 6 launches — GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, IV and V, starting at 3 PM EST on November 5, two weeks before the new game arrives.

A personal warm-up

According to Cenat himself in previous livestreams, GTA: Vice City was the first game in the series he played as a kid in Brooklyn, handed to him by his stepfather — he has said the game "changed his life". He has also admitted he free-roamed GTA: San Andreas as a kid without ever finishing its story, so the marathon is his chance to finally complete all five games in release order.

The warm-up before the real event

The classics marathon is just the appetizer: Cenat has said for over a year that he plans to stream GTA 6 start to finish for 100 percent completion in one continuous broadcast once the game launches on November 19. He has avoided leaks and spoilers to keep that playthrough pure.

Cenat is not alone in this wave of nostalgia — other creators, like Typical Gamer and TGG, are also revisiting the classic GTAs in the weeks before launch, part of a broader content-creator rush around GTA 6 hype.
