As of November 7, 2026, Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed a November 19 launch on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, $79.99 and $99.99 editions, Leonida and its two leads, Jason and Lucia, and a November 10 pre-load of up to 212 GB. No PC version has been announced. Every other claim about Grand Theft Auto VI lives in one of three columns below: confirmed, credibly leaked, or speculation. We keep it updated through launch.

Confirmed

Sourced to Rockstar or Take-Two: the official site, the Newswire, earnings disclosures, or Rockstar staff speaking on the record, as in Game Informer's cover story and The New York Times interview.

• Release date: November 19, 2026, with digital pre-load from November 10 (midnight local time on PS5, midnight GMT on Xbox) and an install of up to 212 GB, per Rockstar's November 3 Newswire post
• Setting: Leonida (state), in six named regions — Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park — on a map about twice the size of GTA V's, per Rockstar in Game Informer's cover story
• Protagonists: Lucia and Jason, dual-playable
• The Extended Look: Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look aired on August 27, 2026 — about 27 minutes, captured in-game on a base PS5. It showed a rebuilt six-star Wanted system and the largest world Rockstar has built. The figures reported alongside it came from elsewhere: Rob Nelson's ~80-hour playthrough and 600,000+ NPC animations from a same-day New York Times interview, and the "3× Red Dead 2" map comparison from a creator's preview relay (see Credibly leaked). See everything it showed
• Weather: a system Rockstar says it re-engineered, with localized, persistent storms, tropical storms and hurricanes. Moved from credibly leaked on September 30, 2026. See Game Informer's cover story
• Wildlife: more than 170 animal species across land, air and sea, with a Rare, Discoverable and Legendary tracking system. Moved from credibly leaked on September 30, 2026
• Platforms at launch: PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S
• PC: not announced. Rockstar has named no PC version and no date. Corrected November 7, 2026: this line said Rockstar had called PC a "later release". It has not.
• Editions: Standard ($79.99) and Ultimate ($99.99) — two tiers, no Collector's
• Online: none at launch — on June 24, 2026 Rockstar called GTA 6 "a single-player experience," and Take-Two repeated it on September 17. A new GTA Online remains unannounced, though Rockstar's September 2026 tribunal filing shows one exists in development (see the leaked column below). See GTA 6 Online — No Multiplayer at Launch
• Soundtrack: Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album — 34 original tracks, announced September 17, 2026 with Atlantic Records and out November 19 alongside the game; nine of its tracks are out as singles. The score is by Justice: Rockstar named the duo as the game's original score composers with the launch trailer on October 15, 2026. Station names are still not confirmed: they leaked in August and Rockstar has named none. See GTA 6: The Album

Credibly leaked

Multiple sources, tracking, or strong inference from public material. We treat these as load-bearing but not yet citable as fact.

• 120+ hour main story — leaked from a previewer's notebook; the number is plausible based on RDR2 (~60h main, 100h+ for completion) but unconfirmed by Rockstar
• Stock-market mechanic returns — referenced in a single Bloomberg preview blurb; consistent with GTA V's BAWSAQ but unverified
• Property ownership beyond GTA V — leaked schematics suggest rentable, ownable, and operable real estate; Lucia's parole arc hints at it but no system is confirmed
• Tide systems — implied by the boardwalk density frame in Trailer 2 but not officially documented. (The weather half of this entry moved to confirmed on September 30, 2026.)
• RAGE engine — a safe inference, since Rockstar's in-house RAGE engine ran GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, but we have found no Rockstar or Take-Two statement naming GTA 6's engine. Moved out of the confirmed column on November 7, 2026, when we re-checked each confirmed row against a Rockstar or Take-Two source.
• Map about three times Red Dead Redemption 2's — relayed by YouTuber TGG from what Rockstar developers told creators at the August Rockstar North preview, the same route as the 30 FPS remark below. Status: rumored. This ledger listed it as confirmed until September 30. Rockstar's on-record comparison is about twice GTA V's
• Weapon wheel sub-wheel — Tez2 (a long-running GTA leaker with a strong record on Rockstar internal builds) surfaced a developer build with a redesigned weapon wheel featuring nested sub-wheels in the main radial. Status: leaked. See Weapon Wheel Reworked — Tez2 Surfaces a Sub-Wheel Loadout System.
• 30 FPS on console, 60 FPS undecided — moved out of the confirmed column September 12, 2026. This ledger previously listed a 30 fps "fidelity" / 60 fps "performance" split as expected, on industry pattern rather than on anything Rockstar said. Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson has since said the console build runs at 30 FPS "for now" and that a 60 FPS option is undecided — a translated relay of a private preview conversation, not a Rockstar statement, so it sits here rather than under Confirmed. Status: rumored. See What Rob Nelson Actually Said.
• A new GTA Online exists in development — moved out of the speculation column September 21, 2026. Rockstar's own defence filing at the Glasgow employment tribunal refers to staff "candidly referencing an online 32 player format" for a confidential project, and its head of publishing calls online player numbers a closely guarded company secret. That establishes the mode is real and in development; the 32-player figure comes from a leaked Discord message and is not a spec. Name and player count remain speculation. The launch window has moved to rumored: Twitch CEO Dan Clancy expects 2027 (details), which Rockstar has not confirmed. Status: leaked. See What Rockstar's Own Filing Says.
• PS5 Pro 60fps — DetectiveSeeds (an X-based leaker with moderate accuracy on PlayStation platform details) claim Sony platform engineers are working with Rockstar for 60fps performance on PS5 Pro hardware. Status: rumored, and weakened by Nelson's remarks above — a studio that has not decided on 60 FPS at all is hard to reconcile with a Pro lock already being secured. See The PS5 Pro 60FPS Rumor.
• V-Rock and the radio line-up — a radio-station menu in the August 20, 2026 CyberLeek leak appears to list V-Rock and eMotion 98.3 alongside several new stations. This moves V-Rock out of the speculation column, where it sat on wardrobe frame-hunting alone, and into leaked. Rockstar has still named no station — not even in the September 17 album announcement, which referred to "the next evolution of the pioneering in-game radio stations" and named none of them. See The GTA 6 Leak, Explained.

Speculation

Things people on forums repeat as if they were facts but which have no source beyond rumor, animation tells, or wishful thinking.

• "Three protagonists" — based on a single second-trailer ambiguous cut. Rockstar has never said this. The frame can be read either way.
• "Cuba is in the map" — a pier sign in Trailer 1 reads "Pelican Crossing." That is not Cuba. There is no other on-screen evidence.
• "Crossplay at launch" — repeated on Reddit; Take-Two has not stated it on a single earnings call.
• "Free PS5-to-PC upgrade" — completely fabricated. Rockstar's historical pattern is paid PC release at full SRP.
• "Lucia is voiced by Aubrey Plaza" — a TikTok rumor. The voice actress credits will appear in launch-week press.
• "Mod support at launch" — vanishingly unlikely. RDR2 and GTA V both shipped without official mod support.

Things we are watching before launch

The launch trailer on October 15 named Justice as the score composers. Before November 19, watch for per-console download sizes once pre-load opens on November 10, the reviews, reportedly due November 18, and any day-one patch notes. A row moves to "confirmed" only when Rockstar or Take-Two says it on the record.

If you are arguing about a feature not on this list, you are arguing about something nobody has evidence for. Cite, or pass.
