But will we get Justice?
The next-level glamour of Grand Theft Auto 6's arrival continues with word that Rockstar is hosting a star-studded launch 'festival' for the game in Miami - the game's setting-by-a-different-name.
The event will feature two stages hosting live performances by musical artists both featured in the game and from those who are not. Cardi B is probably the headliner - my knowledge of popular music is creaking here - but there's also Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Kodak Black, Sofaygo, Ca7riel, and Paco Amoroso.
Meanwhile, GTA 6 soundtrack duo Justice are doing a DJ set, as are The Dare with Fcukers, which is a dangerous name to spell. Also appearing: Metro Boomin, Nick León with DJ Python, Propsa with Skream, Rauw and Friends, Suero, and Tainy.
The event is being hosted at event space Mana Wynwood, and the pre-sale lottery for tickets begins this week on Wednesday, 11th November. Tickets are limited to two a head.
The full soundtrack for GTA 6 is yet to be revealed, with only a handful of songs so far detailed - featuring Rauw, Ca7riel, Paco Amoroso, and Travis Scott, among others. But of course music and radio stations play a huge role in the series, and given the amount of time we'll be playing GTA 6 and listening to these songs, it may well provide a lucrative platform to be featured on.
Meanwhile, the cultural impact of GTA 6's imminent arrival continues with a takeover of swanky department store Selfridges in London, which has a custom Ferrari parked in a window and an extensive range of expensive merch to buy.
It's not all good news for Rockstar, though. The company is also fighting an employment tribunal in Scotland relating to the sudden firing of 31 staff from Rockstar North this time last year. Rockstar alleges this was done for gross misconduct reasons, whereas the fired staff maintain it was done in the name of union busting. The results of that hearing are expected close to GTA 6's release, on 19th November.
