Rockstar Games has dropped new official artwork for Grand Theft Auto VI, and the teaser pairs the game’s lead characters, Jason and Lucia, against the skyline of Vice City. The two sit inside a red car riddled with bullet holes, guns raised and ready, capturing the Bonnie and Clyde energy the game’s story promises.
The Artwork and the Cover Story
The new piece was released for the upcoming Game Informer cover. It shows Jason and Lucia together in the car, weapons drawn, facing the city. The magazine will also run a 14-page feature on the game, complete with interviews with key Rockstar Games developers. Those conversations will cover the game’s advanced weather systems and the vast ecosystem players can expect to contend with.
The feature also brings 12 new screenshots for fans to enjoy. These are expected to offer more glimpses of Jason and Lucia, along with supporting characters and locations.
What Else Is Coming
Game Informer readers will see the spread digitally on 29 September. That gives fans a few days to catch the most anticipated game of all time in never-before-seen images and interviews.
Over the past few years, Rockstar has shared plenty of promotional images for GTA VI, whether through the game’s official website or random drops from the studio itself. More recently, fans got new art when Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album was announced. That album is the only physical release tied to the game, and it quickly sold out, with its cover featuring never-before-seen images of Jason and Lucia.
The Launch Date
Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 19 November. Pre-orders are done, gameplay has been revealed, and the hype is bigger than ever.

The wait for GTA VI has been long. The last entry in the series, Grand Theft Auto V, launched well over a decade ago, and the game itself faced two major delays, with an initial target of Fall 2025. Now the end is in sight.
Our Take
The new artwork captures the spirit of the Bonnie and Clyde story Rockstar is telling. Jason and Lucia look the part, guns raised against the city, and the 14-page feature and 12 new screenshots promise real insight into the game’s systems and world.
The Game Informer spread is the next big reveal before launch. Fans have waited over a decade for this moment, and the final stretch is packed with content.
The countdown to 19 November begins now.
