GTA 6: What’s Actually Confirmed — and What Isn’t

Updated Nov 10, 2026 · Report a correction

Nine days before the biggest game launch of the decade, the internet will tell you almost anything about GTA 6 with total confidence. This page is the opposite of that. Everything below is sorted by how we know it:

CONFIRMED Rockstar Games or Take-Two published it REPORTED shown or described in official preview coverage, not published as a spec by Rockstar UNCONFIRMED RUMORS circulating claims with no Rockstar source, fenced at the bottom

CONFIRMED Rockstar / Take-Two said it

Launch

Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No other platforms have been announced.
The game is single-player only at launch. There is no GTA Online mode on November 19; Rockstar has described the next Online as a later, standalone release with no date announced.
Standard Edition costs $79.99; Ultimate Edition costs $99.99 (digital only). The Ultimate Edition Upgrade is sold separately for $20, at any time. Full breakdown on our editions page.
The boxed edition contains a download code, not a disc.
Preload opened November 10, 2026. The install is up to 212 GB.
No edition includes early access. Everyone starts November 19.
Every purchase before November 20, 2026 includes the Vintage Vice City Pack.

The world: Leonida

The game is set in Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional version of Florida, centered on a modern-day Vice City.
Rockstar has officially named six regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Named places shown in official material include Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, and VC Port in Vice City; Watson Bay and Lake Leonida elsewhere in the state.
Rockstar has not published a full map of Leonida, an official map size, or a complete list of towns.

The people

Two playable protagonists: Jason Duval, an Army veteran working for drug runners in the Keys, and Lucia Caminos, newly released from Leonida Penitentiary — the first playable female lead in a mainline GTA.
The official premise: a couple whose score goes wrong, forcing them on the run inside a criminal conspiracy spanning Leonida.
Six more residents have official profiles: Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, the rap duo Real Dimez (Bae-Luxe and Roxy), Raul Bautista, and Brian Heder.
Rockstar has not published a voice cast.

Systems and activities shown in official footage or listed by Rockstar

A wildlife system with more than 170 species — 60+ types of birds, 30+ land mammals, plus fish and reptiles. Animals can be studied and added to a personal checklist.
Hunting at Mount Kalaga, and fishing.
Water travel and activities throughout: boats, jet skis, kayaks, airboats, scuba diving, and underwater shipwreck treasure hunting.
Activities including gym workouts, basketball, pool, mini golf, zoo visits, street and off-road racing, monster truck racing, ATV trails, motocross, demolition derbies, mountain biking, parachuting, and base jumping.
A rebuilt weather system with tropical storms and hurricanes.
Interactive dogs: you can pet them, scold them, or feed them treats.

REPORTED From official previews, not a Rockstar spec sheet

These come from Rockstar’s own Extended Look presentation (August 27, 2026) and the previews major outlets published from it. They describe what journalists were shown; final launch details can differ, and Rockstar has not published them as specifications.

Character switching between Jason and Lucia at almost any time, with a Solo Jason / Solo Lucia / dual-control selection wheel, and the ability to bring the other character along as an active partner — including on robberies.
Story choices that change how events play out, including approaching robberies quietly or aggressively, and a relationship dynamic between the leads that affects some story segments — with no gameplay stat bonuses attached.
A six-star wanted meter, and a police system built around witnesses and alarms: crimes must be seen or trigger an alarm to be reported, and officers build a description of you (face, clothing, weapon, vehicle, camera footage).
Leonida described by Rockstar’s art director as roughly twice the size of GTA V’s map — a description, not a measurement.
The Extended Look footage was captured on a standard PlayStation 5.

NOT ANNOUNCED Rockstar has simply never said

Absence of news is not a no — but it is not a yes either. As of November 10, 2026, Rockstar has not announced:

A PC version (or any PC date).
A 100% completion list — or shown a completion screen. Nobody outside Rockstar knows what counts toward 100%.
Any collectibles. None have appeared in any trailer or official footage. Every previous GTA had them, which is a precedent, not a confirmation.
Graphics or performance modes — no frame-rate target, resolution, HDR format, or 120 Hz/VRR support for any console. The “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label exists; what it enhances has not been stated.
A day-one patch (one may still arrive; leaving storage headroom is sensible, but it is not announced).
Exact unlock times by region (store listings point to midnight local time; Rockstar has not published a table).

⚠ UNCONFIRMED RUMORS — clearly fenced (tap to open)

The claims below circulate widely online. None of them comes from Rockstar. Some originated in leaks or datamining; others are pure repetition. We list them only so you can spot them. Do not plan purchases, storage, or a playthrough around any of them, and you will not find them stated as fact anywhere else on this site.

“70% of buildings in GTA 6 are enterable.” — No Rockstar source exists for this figure.
“Police permanently remember your face and car in a database between encounters.” — Leak-era analysis. The preview-reported witness/description system above is a different, narrower claim.
“You can dual-wield weapons.” — Never shown or stated by Rockstar.
“GTA 6 has San Andreas-style weight and muscle systems.” — Never shown or stated by Rockstar.
“Cars need fuel.” — Never shown or stated by Rockstar.
“GTA 6 runs at 60 fps / has a Performance Mode on PS5 Pro.” — No performance mode of any kind has been announced for any console.
“PC launches in early 2027” / “GTA Online launches in early 2027.” — Press speculation from Rockstar’s past release patterns. Plausible, unannounced, and not a date.
Any specific collectible, its count, or its locations, published before November 19. — Impossible to source from official material, because Rockstar has shown no collectibles at all.

How this site uses sources

Our checklist, wildlife tracker, and guides are built from the CONFIRMED list above until launch. After November 19, entries are added only when they are verified in the released game under our two-source standard, and every entry carries its evidence label and first reporter. If Rockstar announces anything that changes this page, this page changes the same day.
