Kai Cenat vows to marathon GTA 6 until 100% complete

Streamer Kai Cenat plans to begin streaming Grand Theft Auto VI at its Nov. 19 launch and continue until he reaches 100% game completion. He has stated the run will cover more than the main Lucia and Jason storylines and will include collectibles, side missions and tracked tasks.

Cenat first made the pledge in early 2025 when the game’s release window was uncertain and reiterated it after the publisher set the November 19 date. In a circulated clip, he said he did not know when he would stop the stream, only that he would play “until it’s 100 percent complete,” and he mentioned wanting to see “everything Vice City and Leonida has to offer.”

Full completion of a modern open-world Rockstar title requires finishing the main narrative and a long checklist of additional content. Players aiming for 100% in Grand Theft Auto V typically spend about 80 to 90 hours; Red Dead Redemption 2 has required roughly twice that amount for full clearance. Streamers usually require more time than solo players because they pause for audience interaction, handle donations, respawn after deaths and read chat.

No developer has provided an official estimate for how long full completion of Grand Theft Auto VI will take. Early reports and leaks indicate the new map will be larger and denser than Los Santos, which suggests a completion run could require at least a week and a half of near-constant play at the low end and potentially far longer.

Cenat’s past streaming events reflect similar limits on continuous play. His Red Dead Redemption 2 stream ran about 56 hours and did not reach 100%. An Elden Ring event logged closer to 170 hours but included breaks for food and sleep. He has conducted month-long campaigns before, with scheduled rest periods during those runs.

Given the scale of the task, the scheduled launch marathon may include planned breaks or an adjusted goal. Cenat could concentrate on completing the main story during the launch stream and follow with regular-length sessions for remaining objectives.

The planned stream does not require approval from the game’s publisher. Other creators have announced launch-day coverage and several businesses have publicized staffing and promotions tied to the release. Cenat’s event will be one of many creator-led streams on and after Nov. 19, providing live coverage of the game’s first hours.
