September 29 is the next big GTA VI update: Game Informer cover story
GTA VI will be Game Informer's cover story on September 29: 14 pages with never-before-shared features and 12 brand-new screenshots.
Mark the calendar: September 29 is the next official GTA VI date. According to GameRant, Rockstar’s game will be Game Informer’s next cover story, with the digital edition going live that day.
The content sounds promising: 14 pages dedicated to the game, with “never-before-shared features” and 12 brand-new screenshots. It’s the classic Game Informer cover format, historically one of Rockstar’s favorite vehicles for major reveals.
The date fits into a frenetic campaign week: the New York Times statements about open-world design, the Kaseya Center sign, the Vice City Collection and now a magazine cover with exclusive material. Rockstar is doling out information almost daily, eight weeks from launch.
What to expect: if the pattern of previous cover stories holds, the feature usually includes interviews with the game’s leads, details on mechanics not shown in trailers, and development context. The 12 new screenshots will presumably be the material the community dissects for days.
September 29 also lands one day before GTA VI officially enters its final 50 days of waiting until November 19. The final stretch has begun.
