GTA 6 Gets Another Major Reveal This Week as Edge Magazine Confirms Exclusive Rockstar Interview

Grand Theft Auto 6 fans have another significant update this week, as Edge magazine confirms a new feature focused on Rockstar Games’ upcoming open-world title. The upcoming issue will include a 16-page cover story featuring an interview with Rockstar, new screenshots, and additional details about the highly anticipated sequel.

The announcement arrives after several weeks of growing attention surrounding the game, with players continuing to receive new information and promotional material. Although the full details are still not available, the confirmed feature offers another chance to learn more about GTA 6 before its release.

According to GamesRadar, the GTA 6 feature will appear in Edge magazine’s 430th issue, which is scheduled to go on sale on October 29.

The magazine has confirmed that its cover story will include exclusive interviews and imagery from Rockstar’s upcoming game. The feature will also receive an online release through GamesRadar, allowing readers to access the complete story for free. This means fans will not necessarily need to purchase the physical magazine to read the interview and examine the new screenshots.

The upcoming Edge feature is expected to provide a substantial amount of coverage, with 16 pages dedicated to GTA 6. Rockstar reportedly welcomed the magazine’s team to discuss the project, giving the publication an opportunity to explore the game through interviews and accompanying imagery.

The announcement describes GTA 6 as Rockstar’s most ambitious project, although the interview has not yet revealed the specific subjects it covers. Fans will have to wait until the full feature becomes available to determine how much genuinely new information it contains.

The announcement also confirms that the issue will feature special cover artwork showcasing Jason and Lucia, the two main characters of GTA 6. Their relationship and criminal activities have already played an important role in the game's promotional material, but the new cover offers another presentation of the characters. The artwork is expected to appear as a special gatefold cover, giving the issue a distinctive design for the occasion. The announcement follows other promotional images featuring the pair, continuing Rockstar’s gradual introduction of the characters and the world they inhabit.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the feature is whether the interview will reveal details that have not appeared in previous coverage.

Earlier interviews and promotional materials have discussed subjects such as robberies, the open world, and the overall direction of the game. While these details have helped establish what players can expect, another interview covering the same ground would offer limited new insight. The publication has already begun teasing parts of the feature through low-resolution previews of its pages. These sneak peeks give a glimpse of some of the worlds, characters, and scenarios that the article will discuss. However, the photos are blurry and partially obscured, making it difficult to be sure of every detail. 

The early previews contain several images that seem to show locations and activities across the fictional state of Leonida, where GTA 6 takes place. One image appears to show a man getting a tattoo in a parking lot, with a dog and a few other characters. Another figure appears to be holding a weapon, although the low resolution makes it difficult to identify the object precisely. 

Other previews feature urban environments, including high-rise buildings and sections of downtown Vice City. One photo appears to show the city skyline and a Ferris wheel, giving the area a different look than the ones shown before. The lighting also looks different from earlier promotional material, maybe giving another glimpse of how the city looks under different conditions. 

Vice City remains one of the most iconic locations in the game, and more images would help demonstrate how Rockstar has reimagined the area. The sequel returns players to a modern version of the fictional city associated with the Grand Theft Auto series, but the surrounding state of Leonida expands the setting beyond its urban center.

The combination of city streets, populated neighborhoods, and rural environments has been a recurring element of the game's promotional material. The new feature could provide further visual examples of how these different areas fit together, although the available previews do not reveal any major new gameplay details.

Also in the magazine's pages seem to be pictures of wildlife and underwater scenes.

One preview shows what looks like a hammerhead shark swimming near a reef, with smaller fish in the background. Another shows characters in a small water vehicle traveling through a swamp. Based on these scenes, the feature will apparently offer more views of the natural environments found throughout Leonida, which has already been established as a setting with beaches, wetlands, and other diverse landscapes.

Wildlife has featured heavily in the GTA 6 promotional material, helping to set up the range of environments players will be able to explore. The new teased images could offer even more examples of how animals look in the world, especially in the underwater and swamp areas. The low-res previews don’t reveal enough detail to tell whether the screenshots are showing new animal behavior, interactive wildlife systems, or other gameplay mechanics. 

Another preview focuses on Jason, showing him holding a pistol with an explosion in the background. The composition has drawn comparisons to the action-oriented presentation associated with the Max Payne series, although the image alone does not establish any direct connection between the games. 

The magazine also appears to contain an image involving police officers. Its composition resembles a scene from the extended GTA 6 footage in which officers raid an apartment. It is not yet clear whether the new image depicts the same sequence, an alternate angle, or an entirely different encounter. The full-resolution version should make it easier to examine the scene and determine whether it contains details that were not visible in the earlier footage.

These glimpses represent only a small portion of the announced 16-page feature. The previews show that the magazine will include a mixture of character artwork, urban environments, wildlife, and action scenes, but they reveal little about the context behind each image. Fans may find additional details when the magazine releases the complete pages, particularly if the interview explains the situations shown in the screenshots. 

The upcoming magazine feature is not the only development that is receiving attention from GTA 6 fans.

There are also reports that review copies of the game are beginning to reach select outlets. Apparently gaming journalist Nate the Hate mentioned that review copies are being sent out and the review embargo is set to drop on November 18. If so, it means some media members might already be starting to prep their coverage before the game's release.

The official Xbox social media account has also shared a photo of its setup with GTA 6 installed on a console. Normally a pre-order listing would show a message that the game is pre-ordered, but the icon in the image looks like the actual game. The Rockstar logo is also visible on the game's artwork. 

However, the image does not independently establish that review copies have been distributed to a wide range of publications or confirm the reported November 18 embargo. It is possible that the console is being used for internal preparations, but the precise circumstances surrounding the installation have not been confirmed. The reported review-copy distribution and embargo date should therefore be distinguished from the officially announced Edge feature.

If review copies are being distributed, the development could suggest that Rockstar is moving closer to the final stages of preparing GTA 6 for release.

Players may also begin watching for other signs of progress, including a possible announcement that the game has gone gold or the appearance of its final installation size in platform databases. Neither development has been confirmed by the information currently available, so they remain possibilities rather than established milestones.

For now, the clearest upcoming date is October 29, when Edge magazine's new feature is scheduled to become available. The article will bring together the Rockstar interview, special Jason and Lucia cover artwork, and a collection of screenshots that have only been partially revealed so far. Whether it provides major new gameplay information or focuses primarily on details already discussed remains to be seen.

With the complete feature arriving later this week, GTA 6 fans will soon have a better opportunity to examine the latest material and separate confirmed information from speculation. The new screenshots could offer additional insight into Leonida's environments and characters, while the interview may clarify aspects of Rockstar's development approach. Until the full article is published, however, the most significant confirmed development is that another substantial piece of official GTA 6 coverage is just days away.
