Rockstar Games has finally confirmed the Grand Theft Auto 5 release date for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

"Grand Theft Auto V for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will feature a range of major visual and technical upgrades to make Los Santos and Blaine County more immersive than ever," according to Rockstar Newswire.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will be introduced to the next-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One on a Nov. 18 release date while the PC version will arrive on Jan. 27, 2015.

"Enhancements to Grand Theft Auto Online include an increased player count, with online play now for up to 30 players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. All existing gameplay upgrades and Rockstar-created content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come," Rockstar noted.

As the commercial launch nears, a new trailer entitled "A Picket Fence and a Dog Named Skip" teases fans of what is to come.

Aside from the video game, Grand Theft Auto 5 has also made digital game art available for download.

However, the most buzz around GTA 5 right now is the ISIS teen recruitment video.

"Their latest video isn't that horrific or extreme, but it is bizarre. It's three and a half minutes of Grand Theft Auto 5, cut and edited in a way to try and recruit new, young members into the extremist organization," Paul Tassi of Forbes reported.

The action adventure game swept the world by storm when it first saw the light last year and snatched $800 million in one day.
