The Grand Theft Auto 5 community has laid out plans for “one last drive” through San Andreas before the release of the long-awaited sequel, Grand Theft Auto 6. Grand Theft Auto 5 players have been exploring the region in the single-player campaign and Grand Theft Auto Online for nearly 12 years, and some fans are eager to move on to the sequel.
Grand Theft Auto 6 takes players back to Vice City in the state of Leonida, which is Rockstar Games’ fictional version of Florida. The expectations from fans are certainly high after the critical acclaim and long-term success of Grand Theft Auto 5, and the community appears to already be preparing for their departure from San Andreas months before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.

Reddit user Accomplished-Hat5373 and other players in the community are planning “one last drive” in Grand Theft Auto 5 on the night before the release day of Grand Theft Auto 6. The drive follows a main highway that runs through Los Santos and Blaine County, allowing players to take in the sights and scenery of San Andreas for what could be the final time for some GTA fans. Although the drive commemorates Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, many players weren’t happy about Accomplished-Hat5373’s Reddit post. Some players believe the drive shouldn’t happen since GTA 5 is worth revisiting after GTA 6’s launch, and it sparked a massive debate in the community.

The community’s last drive in Grand Theft Auto 5 has some fans divided about the game’s longevity, with a notable portion of the community wanting to move on from the game completely to experience what’s new in GTA 6. The lack of news and updates regarding gameplay and other notable features of Grand Theft Auto 6 has also contributed to frustrations in the community. On the other hand, other players want to revisit GTA 5 to compare it to its successor and reminisce about the game’s over-decade run of post-launch support.
Before Grand Theft Auto 6 releases in fall 2025, Grand Theft Auto 5 will receive a major upgrade on PC to bring features and enhancements that were previously locked to the game’s PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions. There will also be added support for upscaling features like AMD’s FSR 3 and Nvidia’s DLSS 3, and the implementation of ray tracing and other features means that the PC version’s hardware requirements will be bumped up. The new PC update will release on March 4, so GTA 5 players on PC won’t have to wait long to see what has changed.
