PS5 Pro Shortages and Panicked Bosses: GTA 6 Is Already Causing Chaos

Are you ready for the impact? GTA 6 hasn't even arrived yet, but Rockstar's upcoming title is already causing real-world mayhem. Hype is taking over both gamers and workplaces as launch day approaches. First sign of trouble: high-end hardware is selling out everywhere. The PS5 Pro has become practically impossible to find on store shelves due to overwhelming demand linked to the game. Scalpers are seizing the opportunity, flipping consoles for up to $1,300 on reselling platforms. Hardware isn't the only casualty. In the United States, corporate bosses are panicking about release day. Many employers are worried about record absenteeism and a huge drop in productivity when players skip work for Vice City. The hype train is officially unstoppable.
