GTA 6 set for November 19 launch after 13-year wait
Rockstar Games is due to release Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19, ending a 13-year gap since the previous main game, GTA V. The launch is expected to draw millions of players, with some fans planning time off to play.
The Grand Theft Auto series has sold 480 million games since its first release in 1997.
GTA V, released in 2013, has sold about 235 million copies and is the second-best-selling video game in history, behind Minecraft.
The long wait follows GTA V's huge success, including its rapid rise to $1 billion in revenue.
GTA VI is a 212-gigabyte download, and Rockstar has allowed players to download it in stages before launch to ease pressure on its servers.
Players will be able to enter the new game on November 19, with its fictional Vice City and Leonida setting.
