With Grand Theft Auto 6 officially set for a 2025 release, longtime GTA 5 players are preparing to say their goodbyes to Los Santos in style. A growing movement within the community has emerged, encouraging fans to take “one last drive” across the game’s vast open world before shifting their focus to GTA 6.
A Decade of Memories in Los Santos
Originally released in 2013, GTA 5 has been one of the most successful and influential games of all time, maintaining an active player base for over a decade. With its expansive map, detailed cityscapes, and vibrant online community, it’s no surprise that many players are feeling nostalgic as they prepare for the transition to Rockstar’s next big release.
The idea of a final drive has gained traction on social media, with players planning massive in-game meetups to cruise through Los Santos one last time. Some are even documenting their journeys in cinematic montages, capturing the highlights of their time in GTA 5 before the series moves on.
The End of an Era
While GTA Online will likely continue to be supported for some time, the excitement surrounding GTA 6 means a significant portion of the player base is preparing to move on. Given that GTA 5 has been Rockstar’s primary title for over ten years, this farewell drive serves as a symbolic moment for fans who have spent thousands of hours in the game.
Some players are even using this opportunity to revisit their favorite locations, complete unfinished activities, or participate in custom events hosted by the community. Others see this as the perfect time to reflect on the game’s impact, from its gripping single-player campaign to the chaotic and ever-evolving world of GTA Online.
Looking Ahead to GTA 6
As anticipation builds for GTA 6, Rockstar has promised a more immersive experience, featuring a new setting and expanded gameplay mechanics. While details remain scarce, leaks and official announcements have already set high expectations for the next installment in the franchise.
For now, GTA 5 players are making the most of their remaining time in Los Santos, ensuring that their final drive is a memorable one before the streets of Vice City take over.
