This is a gaming meme referencing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 release. The top text poses the common fan question: 'Why won't Rockstar release GTA 6 on PC day one?'. Below this, a line of text reads 'GTA 6 on PC day one:' followed by the official promotional art for GTA 6 showing the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, pointing guns directly towards the viewer. The joke implies that a day one PC release of GTA 6 would be so poorly optimized, ridden with bugs, or otherwise broken that it would feel like the game is attacking its players, which is the reason Rockstar traditionally delays PC ports of their major titles to fix issues first.

Above the image is a text overlay stating: 'Pam Bondi confirms GTA 6 is also on her desk awaiting review before release.' To the right of the woman is a small image of the 'Grand Theft Auto V' logo.

This meme uses a viral red carpet event photograph of Paul Dano and Quentin Tarantino as its base. Paul Dano appears in the foreground with a faint, distracted smile while looking down, overlaid with the text label 'everyone waiting for gta 6'. Quentin Tarantino stands directly behind Dano, staring forward with an intense, menacing unblinking expression, overlaid with the text label 'some hentai virus'. The joke illustrates that people eagerly anticipating the release of the highly popular Grand Theft Auto 6 video game are so distracted by their excitement that they are vulnerable to malware attacks disguised as GTA 6 leaks, early access downloads, or exclusive content, particularly pornographic (hentai) themed malware that commonly targets users searching for unannounced game content.

A meme consisting of two parts: the top section contains text that reads 'Rockstar:Gta 6 is 600GB My 512GB Console:', and the bottom section is a close-up photograph of a small brown Chihuahua with large, teary eyes and a sad expression. The humor arises from the relatable scenario of a gaming console (with 512GB storage) being unable to accommodate the large file size of the upcoming game GTA 6 (600GB), personified by the dog's dejected and helpless look.

This is a humorous gaming pun meme. The top text has a question: "What do you play on?", followed by the poster's answer: "Me: Mario.". The image below is a photo taken inside a video game retail store, showing separate branded sections for consoles: Mario gets his own dedicated signage section alongside major console brands Xbox (green) and PlayStation (blue). The joke relies on wordplay: the question asks what gaming console/platform the person plays games on, but instead of answering Nintendo, they answer Mario, which is literally treated as its own platform/section just like Xbox and PlayStation in the store, leaning into the common association that Nintendo consoles are primarily known for Mario games.

This is a two-panel comparative meme using the viral Buff Doge vs. Crying Cheems Shiba Inu format. The left panel is labeled 'Sony then' and features the muscular, confident Buff Doge, with accompanying text stating 'Playstation is the most powerful device ever for you to play games, that's why you buy playstation', representing Sony's past marketing strategy that positioned PlayStation consoles as high-performance, premium platforms that offered enough value to justify purchase on their own. The right panel is labeled 'Sony now' and features the sad, teary-eyed Cheems dog sitting dejectedly, with accompanying text stating 'I am not porting PS games to PC anymore so you need to buy playstation to play PS games', mocking Sony's 2024 announcement that it would cease porting most first-party PlayStation exclusive titles to PC, framing the decision as a weak, desperate move to force consumer hardware purchases instead of relying on the platform's inherent value.

The meme titled "Psyching out the psychic" presents a relatable gaming community joke contrasting non-gamers (called "normies") and experienced gamers. The top text states the normies' claim that you cannot identify which exact boss a player is fighting just by looking at their game console, followed by "Gamers:" above a photo of an original Sony PlayStation 1 console with a controller plugged into port 2 instead of the standard port 1. This setup is an instantly recognizable reference to the iconic Psycho Mantis boss fight in the 1998 PlayStation game *Metal Gear Solid*: Psycho Mantis can read all controller input from port 1, so the only way to defeat him is to move the controller to port 2, "psyching out" the psychic boss as the title references. Long-time gamers immediately recognize the boss being fought just from seeing the console's port usage, proving the normies' claim wrong.
