Rockstar has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V is coming in Spring 2013. The window will mark the worldwide release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, according to Rockstar, with no mention of other platforms.

While the release window was already leaked by promotional posters and retailer listings, Rockstar has now confirmed the timing and revealed that pre-orders will begin on November 5th at all retailers.

Grand Theft Auto V will be set in Los Santos, and Rockstar calls it “the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date.” The game is said to deliver “a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life,” from mountaintops to oceans. "Grand Theft Auto V builds on everything we've learned about open world game design," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. "We can't wait to share it with fans."
