30 of 30 claims
Does GTA 6 release on 19 November 2026?
ConfirmedYes. Rockstar has the date locked, unlocking at midnight in your own timezone.
Read moreIs GTA 6 coming to PC?
UnconfirmedNot announced. Launch is PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only, which matches how GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 rolled out.
Does GTA 6 cost $79.99?
ConfirmedYes, with a $99.99 Ultimate Edition. There is no third edition.
Read moreIs the physical copy a real disc?
ConfirmedNo. The boxed version contains a download code rather than a disc.
Read moreDoes the game unlock at the same time worldwide?
ConfirmedIt unlocks at midnight local time, so your clock, not a staggered regional rollout.
Is GTA Online in GTA 6 at launch?
ConfirmedNo. Rockstar has confirmed the launch is single-player only.
Read moreWhen does the online mode arrive?
UnconfirmedNo window given. Public claims range from a month after launch to two years out, which tells you how little is known.
Read moreIs there story co-op?
UnconfirmedOne of the most requested features, and not happening on day one given there is no online mode at all.
Will there be single-player story DLC?
UnconfirmedNothing announced. Rockstar's last story expansion was in 2009, and neither GTA 5 nor Red Dead 2 got one.
Read moreCan you switch between characters?
ConfirmedYes. Jason and Lucia can be played together or split up and played independently.
Does the wanted system track evidence?
ConfirmedYes. Your face, clothes, vehicle, weapon, partner and CCTV are all tracked separately.
Read moreIs there a six-star wanted level?
RumourFrom an August 2026 leak of an unfinished build. Nothing official points at it, and a wanted ceiling is exactly the kind of number that changes in balancing.
Read moreDo eating and exercise affect your character?
ConfirmedYes. Eating affects weight, training affects build, and skipping sleep affects tiredness.
Can you carry every weapon at once?
ConfirmedNo. The wheel has limited slots and larger weapons are stored in your vehicle.
Is weapon condition a real system?
UnconfirmedStrongly hinted. Lucia's pistol has tape on the grip, a sticker and a scuffed slide, but Rockstar has said nothing.
Read moreIs there a fuel system?
RumourDescribed in the August leak wave alongside vehicle condition. Unfinished build, treat with suspicion.
Read moreCan you loot bodies and containers?
RumourLeaked, not confirmed. Would be closer to Red Dead 2 than to GTA 5.
Does Focus mode slow time?
ConfirmedYes. Red markers show lethal zones, yellow markers target limbs, which opens up disarming.
Read moreDo you need tools to steal cars?
ConfirmedOfficial footage shows a Slim Jim or smash-the-window choice. Key cloners for higher-value cars are reported, not confirmed.
Can you rob stores?
ReportedThree tiers of robbery are reported, with stores across the map able to be held up. The Extended Look shows a store robbery directly.
Does your relationship with your partner change?
ReportedTexting, dates and time together are reported to shift it, and the character switch UI puts a heart between them.
Do your crimes build a profile?
ConfirmedYes. Jason and Lucia each carry a Criminal Profile, which Rockstar says tracks how you operate rather than good versus evil.
How big is the map?
ConfirmedAround three times Red Dead Redemption 2, with Vice City alone roughly twice Los Santos, per Rockstar's own preview comparison.
Read moreIs the map 83 square kilometres?
UnconfirmedThat figure comes from a fan measurement on Reddit. Rockstar has never published a square-kilometre number.
Read moreIs Tommy Vercetti's mansion in the game?
UnconfirmedA fan theory based on a roofline in one Vice City screenshot. Nothing official.
Can you explore a zoo?
ConfirmedYes. A fully explorable zoo is among the confirmed landmarks, alongside an airport, football stadium, amphitheatre and military base.
Is there an official map?
UnconfirmedRockstar has not released one. The community mapping project reconstructs it by triangulating landmarks in official media.
Read moreAre there Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter eggs?
ReportedThe bills floating in the bank vault screenshot appear to carry Red Dead 2 presidents. Spotted by MrBossFTW, not stated by Rockstar.
