The keenly awaited Grand Theft Auto V on the Xbox 360 is due to arrive on September 17 2013!

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date, with a world bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined.

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

Los Santos: A sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.

Already causing a massive stir among gamers, Grand Theft Auto 5 for Xbox 360 promises to be one of the biggest games on 2013.
