Game Informer has announced Grand Theft Auto VI as the cover story for Issue 382. The feature is 14 pages, includes interviews with Rockstar designers and promises 12 previously unseen screenshots. Its digital edition is scheduled for September 29, 2026; until the story is published, the announcement offers a preview rather than a full account of the game’s features.

What the GTA 6 cover story promises
Game Informer says the feature will explore how Rockstar brought Vice City and Leonida—the game’s Florida-inspired setting—to life, drawing on interviews with several lead designers. The publication also says its writer brings a South Florida perspective. The announcement does not spell out Rockstar’s research methods or provide a detailed account of how real-world Miami informed the game.

One specific topic previewed is an advanced weather system designed to simulate Florida’s less-sunny weather phenomena. Wildlife is also identified as part of the feature, but the announcement does not explain how either system works in play.

The issue promises 12 new screenshots alongside the feature. Its original Rockstar cover art shows protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos together in a car.

Are other features, previews and reviews confirmed?
The available announcement and reporting do not provide a reliable, title-by-title list of the issue’s other features, previews or reviews. The GTA 6 cover story is the confirmed centerpiece; readers should wait for the issue’s contents page or the magazine itself for a fuller rundown.

The clearest takeaway is that Issue 382 promises new interviews and images, but its headline GTA 6 details remain forthcoming: the scheduled digital release is September 29.
