Edge issue 430 puts Grand Theft Auto VI at the center of a 16-page cover feature, following an Edge visit to Rockstar’s Edinburgh development headquarters. The issue is scheduled to go on sale Thursday, October 29, 2026, and GamesRadar+ says the complete cover feature will also be free to read online that day.

What Edge says the feature includes
The reporting describes a studio visit where Edge spoke with Rockstar leaders and saw GTA 6 running. The feature is also billed as including exclusive interviews and bespoke imagery. That means readers can expect a reported preview—not evidence that Edge’s journalists personally played the game.

The issue’s special gatefold cover is described as featuring Jason and Lucia. The available excerpts do not confirm every specific image or detail mentioned in some online discussion, so those should not be treated as established contents.

How it fits with earlier GTA 6 magazine coverage
Edge’s feature follows a Game Informer cover story announced in September 2026. That earlier feature was described as 14 pages, with interviews, 12 screenshots and coverage of Leonida’s weather and wildlife.
