Game Informer GTA 6 coverage is officially live, giving fans a closer look at Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated open-world sequel. The digital version of Game Informer’s November 2026 issue launched on September 29, with Grand Theft Auto VI taking center stage in an extensive cover story focused on Leonida, the game’s fictional version of Florida.

Game Informer GTA 6 Issue Reveals Leonida’s Biggest Secrets

The centerpiece of the issue is a 14-page feature examining how Rockstar Games recreated Leonida from both ecological and cultural perspectives. According to Game Informer, the story includes new developer interviews with Rockstar Games and 12 exclusive screenshots captured from Grand Theft Auto VI.

The feature explores the scope of Rockstar’s fictional state, including its varied environments, regional identity, wildlife, weather, and social atmosphere. Rather than presenting Leonida as a simple backdrop for criminal activity, the coverage suggests that the setting itself will play a major role in shaping the game’s world and player experience.

Several related details have already drawn attention. The issue’s wider coverage highlights features such as tropical storms, hurricanes, and an expansive ecosystem containing more than 170 animal species. These elements point to a world designed to feel unusually dynamic, reactive, and alive.

A Powerful Preview Lineup Beyond Grand Theft Auto VI

Although Grand Theft Auto VI dominates the magazine, the November issue includes a broad selection of upcoming games. One of the most prominent is Tides of Annihilation, which receives a 10-page preview written by senior associate editor Wesley LeBlanc. The preview follows his trip to China, where he played the upcoming Arthurian-inspired action game.

The issue also features an interview with Invoke Studios about Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons, an upcoming dark fantasy action title set in the popular tabletop universe. Editor-in-chief Matt Miller spoke with the studio to learn more about its creative direction and ambitions for the project.

Elsewhere, comedian Mike Drucker offers a humorous feature about what makes a ā€œgoodā€ bad game. Wesley LeBlanc reflects on his experience at Gamescom and considers what the event revealed about the broader state of the video game industry. Executive editor Kyle Hilliard also interviews Finn Wolfhard about his music career, favorite game soundtracks, and enthusiasm for PokĆ©mon.
