Get to know Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, your hosts for ‘Grand Theft Auto V’

By Ryan Fleming April 30, 2013

Although the current generation of consoles is on the way out, there are still a few more titles coming down the pipeline that will help give the PS3 and Xbox 360 the memorable send off that this generation deserves. Of those remaining titles, few will have more attention on them than Grand Theft Auto V.

The game is due out on September 17, 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and will feature three playable characters: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Each member of the trio will have his own storyline, but all three will continually intertwine. Set in the Los Angeles stand in of Los Santos and surrounding areas, the new world will be massive and varied. We’ll have a preview to share with you later this week, so check back soon.

For now though, check out the new trailer and get to know the trio that will be your avatars and hosts in Grand Theft Auto V.

Netflix and Rockstar Games revealed that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition will come to the services game catalog in December.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a package that features remasters of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was first released for PC and consoles in late 2021. Although the ports were derided for having a plethora of technical problems at launch, they have improved since then. Now, Netflix is making a major play by bringing these remastered GTA games to the service around the same time a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is expected to drop.

It’s almost time. After over a decade of waiting, we’ll finally get our first look at the next Grand Theft Auto game sometime this December. When it arrives, the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal will be one of the biggest video game industry announcements of the year, regardless of what Rockstar Games shows. Despite that, there are specific things that the GTA 6 reveal trailer needs to tell us to live up to its hype.

Although Rockstar has said little about the project before now, GTA 6 might be one of the most anticipated games ever, and it’s following up one of the most successful individual video games of all time. Speculation on where this game will be set, what it will be about, and what innovations it will bring to the medium have been rampant for years. I know this because I’ve played a part in this hype cycle myself -- and this very article is adding to it right now.

After a decades-long wait, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally making its formal debut. Rockstar announced that the first trailer for the anticipated open-world game will drop in early December.

It's no stretch to call Grand Theft Auto 6 the most anticipated video game of all time. It's been 10 years since the mega-successful Grand Theft Auto 5 launched and fans have been itching for news on a sequel since. That impatience boiled over last year when Rockstar suffered a major security breach that saw early footage from the game leaking. Now the studio is finally ready to reveal the game on its own terms.
