The digital edition of Game Informer’s November 2026 issue, centered on Grand Theft Auto VI, is now available to subscribers. Its main feature examines Leonida, Rockstar Games’ fictional version of Florida, while the rest of the magazine combines previews, interviews, industry coverage, and reviews.
What happened
The issue’s 14-page Grand Theft Auto VI cover story includes new information about Leonida, alongside interviews with Rockstar Games developers and 12 previously unpublished screenshots. The feature focuses on the studio’s attempt to reproduce Florida’s ecology and culture in detail, offering a closer look at the setting before the game’s release.
A subscription also includes a physical copy of the issue as the first magazine in the membership. Physical delivery is available in the United States and 52 countries internationally. Game Informer says memberships provide 10 issues in total, in both print and digital formats.
Why it matters
Grand Theft Auto VI remains one of the most closely watched games in the industry, so a substantial cover package devoted to its world gives fans a concentrated source of new material. The combination of developer interviews, environmental details, and screenshots makes the issue particularly relevant to readers tracking how Rockstar is building Leonida as more than a backdrop for the game’s action.
The magazine also extends beyond Rockstar’s open-world sequel. Its other major features include a 10-page preview of Tides of Annihilation, based on senior associate editor Wesley LeBlanc’s trip to China to play the game. A separate feature by comedian Mike Drucker explores the qualities that can make a bad game enjoyable. Editor-in-chief Matt Miller discusses Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons with Invoke Studios, while LeBlanc reflects on attending Gamescom and what the event suggested about the wider games industry.
Executive editor Kyle Hilliard also spoke with Finn Wolfhard about his music career, favorite video game soundtracks, and enthusiasm for Pokémon.
What to watch next
The issue’s preview section covers a broad group of upcoming games, including The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metroid Ravenous, State of Decay 3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past, Kirby and the World Beyond, Stage Tour, and Rhapsody in Scarlet. Its review lineup includes Marvel’s Wolverine, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Star Wars Zero Company, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter.
For Grand Theft Auto VI followers, the immediate point of interest is the full Leonida feature and its 12 screenshots. Readers who want access to the digital issue can subscribe to Game Informer; the membership also includes the physical magazine and the remaining issues in the 10-issue subscription.

Expert View
The strongest reason to pay attention is the focus on Leonida rather than a simple promotional overview. Rockstar’s recreation of Florida is central to Grand Theft Auto VI’s identity, and a detailed feature supported by developer interviews and new screenshots could help fans understand the design priorities shaping the game. The wider issue also shows how a major cover story can serve as an entry point to broader coverage across upcoming releases, reviews, and industry perspectives.
