The Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 may steal the show this holiday season, but for many gamers, Christmas has already come early this year thanks to Rockstar Games. On Tuesday at midnight, the studio will release "Grand Theft Auto V," the newest installment in its wildly popular and often controversial series of open-world shooting games.

The first full-fledged Grand Theft Auto title to arrive on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 since 2008's "Grand Theft Auto IV," there is a lot at stake for the new GTA. In a July quarterly earnings report, in which the company posted a $61.9 million loss, Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive said it expects the new Grand Theft Auto to outsell its predecessor — a serious feat given that it sold more than 25 million units during its five-and-a-half years on the market.
