Before the release of GTA VI, fans will give GTA V an unusual send-off

On the final evening before the release of GTA VI, GTA Online fans want to put their weapons aside and peacefully cruise through Los Santos to bid a fond farewell to the city.

GTA Online players are planning a symbolic farewell to Los Santos on November 18, 2026: the day before the release of GTA VI, the community wants to take a peaceful drive through familiar streets and reminisce about the 13 years spent in the game.

Over that time, gamers have completed hundreds of heists, taken part in insane chases, and spent thousands of hours in GTA Online. For many, Los Santos has become practically a second home, so fans decided to give it a special send-off on the eve of the sequel’s release.

The final ride is meant to be completely unlike typical gaming sessions. Participants are being urged to refrain from shootouts, police chases, deliberate crashes, and attacks on other players. Instead of the usual chaos, players simply want to cruise through the city together and remember the most memorable moments of the past thirteen years.

Of course, GTA V will not disappear after the next installment arrives, and the servers will likely continue running for a long time. Nevertheless, on November 19, the attention of a massive portion of the community will shift to the new game world. Therefore, the planned ride could become a beautiful farewell to an entire era. That said, the organizers face a tough challenge: convincing players to spend at least one evening in Los Santos without pulling out rocket launchers.
