Get to know Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, your hosts for ‘Grand Theft Auto V’

GTA VAlthough the current generation of consoles is on the way out, there are still a few more titles coming down the pipeline that will help give the PS3 and Xbox 360 the memorable send off that this generation deserves. Of those remaining titles, few will have more attention on them than Grand Theft Auto V

The game is due out on September 17, 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and will feature three playable characters: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Each member of the trio will have his own storyline, but all three will continually intertwine. Set in the Los Angeles stand in of Los Santos and surrounding areas, the new world will be massive and varied. We’ll have a preview to share with you later this week, so check back soon.

The line between teaser and Easter egg can be extremely slim, and nowhere has that been apparent on Tuesday than this necklace in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.

PlayStation Plus users will be losing out on 12 games in June, and one of them is a must-play if you're a fan of open-world action adventures from 2013.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is widely considered to be one of the most iconic games all time, and it's definitely the best Grand Theft Auto game. It's also easy to play on nearly any platform (minus Nintendo Switch, of course). It even received a next-gen upgrade for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2022. That said, if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription and wanted to play it at some point -- or just wanted to get a session or two in before Grand Theft Auto 6 -- you'll have until June 12 to do so.
