Kai Cenat Plans a Five-Game GTA Marathon Before GTA 6
Kai is taking it all the way back before Grand Theft Auto VI drops. He's lined up a run through five classic GTA games on stream, and it starts tomorrow.
What happened
Kai laid out the plan on his Nov. 2 livestream, then made it official on X on Nov. 3: "PLAYING GTA 3, VICE CITY, SAN ADREAS, 4 & 5 ALL ON STREAM NOVEMBER 5TH 3PM EST," as NDTV US Sports reported. He followed up with a one-word fix, "Andreas," per GTA BOOM.
The marathon kicks off Thursday, Nov. 5, at 3 PM ET on both Twitch and YouTube, Mashable reports. The lineup, in order: GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V.
Why Vice City hits different for Kai
This one is personal. On the Nov. 2 stream, Kai told viewers his stepfather introduced him to the series in Brooklyn, and that Vice City was his first GTA. He remembered starting on a motorbike with Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" playing, according to NDTV. GTA BOOM adds that he's admitted to free-roaming games like San Andreas as a kid without finishing the stories, so this is his chance to do them properly.
The clock is ticking
GTA VI is set to launch Nov. 19, which leaves Kai 14 days to get through five full games. Fans are already debating whether that's doable, the Times of India notes, and his announcement didn't say whether he'll chase every side mission. Mashable points out the X post didn't say how long each session will run either. The classic run is the warm-up: Kai has said for over a year that he plans to stream GTA VI start to finish for 100% completion. It's another big stretch for him after he and Ray went back to the 7-Eleven in Japan.
Our take
This is a smart way to build hype. Instead of waiting for launch day like everyone else, Kai turned the two weeks before it into its own event, with a real personal story behind it. If you create content, look for the moment your audience is already excited about and build a lead-up they can ride with you.
