What is the GTA 5 “Last Ride”?
Reported A viral TikTok video by the creator CraftizyTV asks GTA 5 and GTA Online players to come back for one last drive through Los Santos and say goodbye to the game before GTA 6 arrives (Game Rant).
Players can join with any car and any outfit. Follow-up posts ask everyone to keep a “ceasefire” during the drive: no police chases and no crashing into other players.
Is this real? Yes, reported by major outlets
Who said it: Game Rant, based on a viral TikTok by CraftizyTV. Sources: 1 major outlet. Our view: It is a fan-made event, not a Rockstar event. Checked: 28 Oct 2026.
When is it?
The Last Ride is set for Wednesday, 18 November 2026. GTA 6 releases the next day, 19 November 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Digital pre-load starts on 12 November. See our pre-load times and unlock times by country.
Is it an official Rockstar event?
Reported No. It is a completely fan-made event, so there is no reward and no fixed start time from Rockstar. GTA Online will keep getting official support after GTA 6 launches (Game Rant).
GTA 5 first came out in September 2013, so for many players this is a goodbye after more than 13 years in Los Santos.
