Gaming fans are on top of the world right now thanks to the recent release of 007 First Light. The new James Bond game stars Patrick Gibson as the iconic spy, and after selling three million copies during its first week, a sequel to the game is all but guaranteed — the closing title card promised that “James Bond will return.” 007 First Light wasn’t the first big AAA game of the year, though; that title belongs to Crimson Desert, the open-world RPG developed by Pearl Abyss. Looking forward, fans have a lot to be excited about this summer, including a pair of big games launching next month. Set to be released on July 9 is the highly anticipated remake of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which is launching on the same day as the next College Football game from EA Sports.
The one game towering over every other release this year, no matter how long the gap is between its release and others, is Grand Theft Auto 6. After multiple delays, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally set to be released later this year on November 19, barring another shock delay that would push the game to 2027. GTA 6 was originally going to be released in 2025 before being delayed to May of this year and then finally settling on November to launch around the world. The third trailer for GTA 6 is expected to be released any day now — many felt we’re sure it was coming at the recent State of Play event that revealed the new Wolverine and God of War games. The premiere of the next trailer is also likely to confirm pre-order information, along with revealing the game’s official price.

Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Rambo

Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.

Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.

John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Ethan Hunt

Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

How Much Is ‘GTA 6’ Going to Cost?
At the time of writing, Rockstar Games has not announced an official price point for Grand Theft Auto 6. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently confirmed that marketing for the game will officially begin this summer, which means that the game’s price will surely be released soon. Most fans and experts agree that the price of the base game will likely be $70, but the deluxe editions will surely be closer to $100, if not more. However, the continued delay in announcement is cause for concern that the game could be more than normal. If GTA 6 launches with a base price of higher than $70, it will be the first game in history to bump the price, which will set a dangerous precedent moving forward for other games to do the same.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of GTA 6, which releases on consoles and PC on November 18.
