The GTA 6 Countdown is live, and there are fewer than 50 days to go until Grand Theft Auto 6 is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
After years of waiting it's difficult to believe, but on November 19 you'll finally be able to leave Los Santos behind for a new sandbox to explore. Rockstar Games has booked you a ticket to the fictional US state of Leonida, the Florida-inspired region which also happens to include the neon-lit metropolis of Vice City. Mark the date on your calendars, because there's no stopping Grand Theft Auto 6 from landing this November now.
GamesRadar+ has launched Countdown to GTA 6 as a destination for all of the biggest news and updates on the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X release. We're also going to be celebrating the 13th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 5, returning to the chaos simulator that is GTA Online, and looking back across the entire franchise – exploring the impact and legacy of a series which truly changed the world.
Every week we're adding fresh Grand Theft Auto articles to GamesRadar+ as Rockstar Games reveal new information and we continue to break down every morsel of detail available on GTA 6 so far.

Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look
Rockstar Games' extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 was a significant gameplay reveal that finally went beyond the story and world to showcase how this long-awaited release will actually play come November 19. Our lofty expectations were met, and we detailed everything as it happened.
The GTA 6 extended look took us through the bulk of three missions as Jason and Lucia, while also diving into plenty of side activities across the vibrant Leonida. While much is familiar, even returning gameplay mechanics have been overhauled in smart ways to ensure this is GTA as you've never played it.
Rockstar Games know how to deliver a flashy experience that pushes the power of gaming's latest hardware. But, with GTA 6, all of those details seem to have a gameplay purpose, helping to deliver on the mechanical evolutions that really prove the 13-year wait since GTA 5 has been worth it.
