Before moving to Vice City, plenty of players want to say a calm goodbye to Los Santos. GTA 5 players are organizing the Last Ride, a group drive through the game's streets on the night of November 18, the eve of GTA 6's launch.

The idea took off thanks to videos from content creator CraftizyTV on TikTok. The main one, calling players to the meetup, has passed 1.2 million views.

A cruise without chaos

The plan is simple and very different from the usual GTA Online vibe. Each player picks any car and outfit they like and drives through the city with everyone else.

The rules call for a full ceasefire. No crashing, no police chases and no attacking other players. The idea is to enjoy the ride and revisit the places that defined 13 years of GTA 5.

The event is organized by fans, without Rockstar's involvement, and players on every platform are invited.

More than one meetup

The Last Ride is not the only farewell planned. Fan site 56ViceLane is organizing The Last Drive, which splits participants into convoys at different times throughout the night, with separate lobbies for each platform.

For anyone joining, organizers recommend turning on Passive Mode and adding the other drivers as friends before November 18, since session invites depend on it.

A few hours later, attention shifts to a new city. GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
