The briefing
Published 2 April 2013. This archival report describes the announcement and offers of that period; temporary rewards do not remain active indefinitely.
Rockstar revealed GTA V’s official cover on April 2, 2013. The familiar panel collage presents the protagonists alongside vehicles, weapons and other imagery associated with the game, continuing the series’ visual approach to packaging.
Cover artwork is an authored promotional composition rather than a literal screenshot or an inventory of guaranteed missions. A vehicle or scene appearing in a panel can communicate the game’s tone without describing its controls, price or place in the campaign. The cover gallery preserves the artwork as a media item and separates it from screenshots and character portraits. When comparing editions, check the platform packaging and included product as well as the central illustration; similar cover art does not imply identical technical features or bundled content.
