Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19 with the pre-load set to begin November 10. In the past couple of weeks, game developers Rockstar have shared information about the game’s official soundtrack and the Justice-created score while interviews with the staff have revealed that the GTA 6 map is twice as big as the previous game, and that Rockstar’s next game won’t take eight years to develop due to the foundations laid while making the latest Grand Theft Auto.

Yesterday (November 6) Rockstar shared a new wave of screenshots, featuring the first proper look at the Jack Of Hearts strip club and live music venue The Rusty Anchor, as well as several new characters and activities such as scuba diving. 

“Grand Theft Auto 6 is now officially only two weeks away. Today, enjoy a stunning look at Vice City and beyond with a collection of new screenshots on the official site,” they wrote on social media.

According to a report by the International Business Times, 1.5million people will skip work on November 19 to play Grand Theft Auto 6. This will drop the USA’s national output by 2 percent and cost companies $1billion. Earlier this year Strauss Zelnick, boss of GTA 6 publishers Take Two, said he believed people would skip work to play the game: “[I] think a lot of people will be calling in sick on November 19.”

Houston Rockets’ NBA star Steven Adams has also claimed that performance “league-wide” is going to “plummet” in November due to the distraction of GTA 6, with the NFL also predicted to suffer a similar dip.

Coming thirteen years after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, the new game is predicted to be the most expensive video game ever made and, according to reports, has already sold more than 4million copies via pre-order.
