The digital doors of the Game Informer app are reportedly struggling to keep up with the intense interest in its exclusive Grand Theft Auto 6 cover story. Since the magazine revealed its 14-page feature detailing Rockstar's upcoming open-world title, players have reported a range of issues attempting to access the new material, hours after its official release.
Inside the Exclusive Coverage
The Game Informer exclusive promises to delve into new details about GTA 6, featuring original artwork directly from Rockstar Games. The content particularly highlighted by fans includes expected features such as advanced weather simulations, detailed wildlife, and the game's depiction of Florida. Readers were eager to see these elements explored in depth.
Technical Difficulties Plague Access
While the digital feature went live on the Game Informer app for free on Tuesday, many users have been unable to read it. Attempts to create a new Game Informer account have reportedly resulted in errors or have become stuck in loading loops, with manual account creation and sign-ins via Apple or Google accounts proving problematic. Game Informer customer support has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the widespread issues.
Despite the difficulties, some users have managed to access the content, leading to the sharing of new screenshots and article summaries on platforms like Reddit. These shared images suggest that dynamic thunderstorms will return in GTA 6 and that animal interactions will be a feature, with one screenshot depicting pigeons appearing to fight. The images also showcase Rockstar's focus on detailed character facial animations and environmental lighting.
As of now, there is no clear estimate for when these technical issues will be resolved. Players eager for more information on Grand Theft Auto 6 will either need to wait for Game Informer's app to stabilize or opt for a physical copy of the magazine. Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on November 19.
