Grand Theft Auto 5 remains a cultural touchstone despite upcoming sixth installment
TechRadar Gaming revisited Grand Theft Auto 5 to discuss its lasting impact before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19, 2026.

Longevity of the open-world title
The game has been available across three console generations since its 2013 launch. It has received high awards in some countries while facing bans in others. Entire careers have developed around discussing the world, writing, and secrets of Los Santos.
Approach to the new release
The sixth entry arrives on November 19, 2026 after years of trailers and teasers. The upcoming title will not launch with a physical disc version. This change will not stop the game from dominating conversation.
