| The '55 Vapid Stanier is a classic-bodied sedan, Rockstar's long-running Ford stand-in in a 1950s cut, included in the Vintage Vice City Pack that comes with every pre-order, Standard or Ultimate. | Confirmed | '55 Vapid Stanier |
| Type: Buggy conversion of a '67 Dominator | Confirmed | '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy |
| Edition: Ultimate Edition | Confirmed | '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy |
| The '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy is part of the Ultimate Edition vehicle set, stored in the Paradise Garage in Watson Bay. | Confirmed | '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy |
| Four official screenshots show it. Rockstar has not published its handling or whether it is road-legal; the screenshots show it on sand and dirt. | Unknown | '67 Vapid Dominator Buggy |
| Manufacturer: Grotti | Confirmed | '95 Grotti Cheetah |
| Type: Sports car, mid-1990s body | Confirmed | '95 Grotti Cheetah |
| The '95 Grotti Cheetah is one of six vehicles in the Ultimate Edition: the series' Ferrari stand-in in a mid-1990s body, ready for the opening hours. | Confirmed | '95 Grotti Cheetah |
| A high-end car in the opening hours is normally a target you work toward ( Car theft and keys ); the edition hands you this one. The edition does not change the story or the map. | Confirmed | '95 Grotti Cheetah |
| Land: Basketball, pool, mini-golf, a gym, a zoo, car meets, track and street racing, dirt bikes | Confirmed | Activities |
| Water: Scuba, fishing, jet skis, kayaks, airboats | Confirmed | Activities |
| Air: Base jumping | Confirmed | Activities |
| Night: Clubbing | Confirmed | Activities |
| Other: Petting dogs, a timed gun range, backyard wrestling | Confirmed | Activities |
| Rockstar's Extended Look and screenshots show a long list of things to do in Leonida besides the story. | Confirmed | Activities |
| Fitness: a gym with San Andreas-style body changes. | Reported | Activities |
| Genre: African music, amapiano and 3-step | Confirmed | Afro Bank FM |
| Previewed: October 8, 2026 | Confirmed | Afro Bank FM |
| Genre: african music, amapiano and 3-step. It also plays modern and classic styles. | Confirmed | Afro Bank FM |
| Rockstar has not tied any identified trailer song to this station. | Speculation | Afro Bank FM |
| Host: Not announced | Unknown | Afro Bank FM |
| Tracklist: Not published | Unknown | Afro Bank FM |
| Type: Airboat | Confirmed | Airboat |
| Home: Grassrivers | Confirmed | Airboat |
| The airboat is a vehicle class that exists because of the terrain: sawgrass marsh in Grassrivers, where it is the only sensible way across. | Confirmed | Airboat |
| Type: Sugar refinery | Confirmed | Allied Crystal |
| Economy: Provides the town's jobs | Confirmed | Allied Crystal |
| Allied Crystal is the sugar refinery around which Ambrosia is built. Rockstar calls the town the heart of Leonida, and the refinery provides its jobs. | Confirmed | Allied Crystal |
| Run by: The Ambrosia bikers reportedly control most of what it does not | Reported | Allied Crystal |
| It is the town's economy; everything else, per Rockstar, is supplied by a local biker gang. The location is a likely centre for the conspiracy that drives the story. | Speculation | Allied Crystal |
| Type: Industrial interior town | Confirmed | Ambrosia |
| Economy: Allied Crystal sugar refinery | Confirmed | Ambrosia |
| Run by: A local biker gang supplies "much of everything else" ( Ambrosia bikers ) | Confirmed | Ambrosia |
| Ambrosia is what Rockstar calls the heart of Leonida, and it is an industrial one: a gritty town in central Leonida built around the Allied Crystal sugar refinery. | Confirmed | Ambrosia |
| The refinery is the economy. Rockstar's bio says a local biker gang supplies much of everything else, which puts them in the same line of work as Brian Heder in the Keys: Ambrosia is plausibly the inland end of that route. | Speculation | Ambrosia |
| Type: Motorcycle gang | Confirmed | Ambrosia bikers |
| Business: Supplies "much of everything else" | Confirmed | Ambrosia bikers |
| Rockstar's description of Ambrosia is short: an industrial town where the Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs and "a local biker gang supplies much of everything else." It is the only time the word gang appears in official GTA 6 text. Rockstar has not named the club. | Confirmed | Ambrosia bikers |
| A cut is not fashion, it is membership: the patches are rank and chapter, bare arms show tattoos that act as a record, and bandanas and wraparound sunglasses are practical on a bike and also make a face hard to describe, which matters in a game where the police track your face ( Police leads ). | Speculation | Ambrosia bikers |
| Whether Jason's smuggling work brings him to them early is our guess, not a confirmed plot point. | Speculation | Ambrosia bikers |
| Name: Not given | Unknown | Ambrosia bikers |
| Premiered: August 27, 2026, Netflix, 3 PM ET | Confirmed | An Extended Look |
| Length: 26 minutes | Confirmed | An Extended Look |
| Captured on: A base PS5 | Confirmed | An Extended Look |
| Netflix pitched the idea. It is a montage of clips and a few complete mission scenes captured on a base PlayStation 5, and the source of almost everything concrete known about how the game plays. | Confirmed | An Extended Look |
| The map is roughly three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's, single-player has no microtransactions, no generative AI was used, and the satire avoids real political figures and events. | Confirmed | An Extended Look |
| Genre: Country | Confirmed | Back Country Radio |
| Back Country Radio is one of the six Leonida radio stations Rockstar previewed on October 8, 2026. Genre: country. | Confirmed | Back Country Radio |
| The Bellamy Brothers' "Let Your Love Flow" from the Extended Look, and Tammy Wynette's "Talkin' to Myself Again" from Trailer 2 ("country for the roads out of town"), are the community's guesses for this station. | Speculation | Back Country Radio |
| Occupation: Businessman, former street hustler | Confirmed | Boobie Ike |
| Owns: Real estate, a strip club, a recording studio | Confirmed | Boobie Ike |
| Boobie Ike is described by Rockstar as a local Vice City legend: a former street hustler turned businessman with real estate, a strip club and a recording studio, who needs a hit. | Confirmed | Boobie Ike |
| Occupation: Smuggler | Confirmed | Brian Heder |
| Property: Lets Jason live rent-free | Confirmed | Brian Heder |
| Brian Heder is a veteran smuggler from the Leonida Keys ' heyday who runs product through his boatyard. He is the first person seen in Trailer 2 and the man Jason Duval works for. | Confirmed | Brian Heder |
| The south is where the easy scores are, and Brian's boatyard is one of them. His smuggling routes are one end of a supply chain that, on the evidence of Ambrosia's description, runs inland to the Ambrosia bikers. | Speculation | Brian Heder |
| Role: Friend of Jason Duval | Confirmed | Cal Hampton |
| Trait: Conspiracy theorist; monitors police chatter | Confirmed | Cal Hampton |
| Cal Hampton is Jason Duval 's friend, introduced in Trailer 2 as a bucket-hat conspiracy theorist who monitors police chatter from his couch and sees conspiracies everywhere. | Confirmed | Cal Hampton |
| Older cars: Take directly | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| Newer cars: Key cloner or tools | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| Rockstar's term: "Stratification" (Rob Nelson) | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| Carjacking: Struggle; stamina may matter | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| GTA 6 changes that: car theft is tiered. Older vehicles can be taken the way they always have been; newer ones need a key cloner or other tools that unlock as the story progresses. | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| Rob Nelson of Rockstar North called this stratification: a high-end car in the opening hours is a target you have to work toward, not a free ride parked at the kerb. | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| It is not instant. There is a struggle, and the showcase suggests stamina plays into it. | Confirmed | Car theft and keys |
| Phone app: Scans a parked car's value, lock, alarm, tracker | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Fuel and engine: Every car has a fuel gauge and engine health | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Trackers: Some cars broadcast their location to police | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Apps: WAINK (what fences want), Scooter Bros (delivers your car) | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Weapons: Stored in the boot | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Previews described a phone app that scans a parked car for its value, lock, alarm and tracker before you commit, and the police tracking the vehicle they last saw you in, so a stolen car is a lead until you swap it. | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Cars go a long way between fill-ups and refuelling is a quick stop, but range matters when choosing a car. Carjacked cars may carry a tracker that broadcasts to the police, an armed driver, or a nearly empty tank. | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Scooter Bros delivers your own car for a fee: a courier arrives within seconds and leaves on a scooter. Your full arsenal lives in the boot, so you cannot carry everything at once. | Reported | Car theft and keys |
| Together: Instant swap, e.g. driver to passenger mid-chase | Confirmed | Character switching |
| Apart: A few seconds; the camera travels | Confirmed | Character switching |
| Solo jobs: Some jobs are for one character only | Confirmed | Character switching |
| GTA 6 has two playable leads and lets you switch between them. The Extended Look showed how: instantly when Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are together, with a short transition when they are apart. | Confirmed | Character switching |
| Whether each lead has separate stats, wardrobes, safehouses or a separate Criminal Profile has not been confirmed. | Unknown | Character switching |
| Genre: Bachata, dembow and reggaeton | Confirmed | Cocoteo FM |
| Genre: bachata, dembow and reggaeton. It is the Latin station. | Confirmed | Cocoteo FM |
| Chimbala and Omega's "Se Me Nota", heard in the Extended Look, is the community's guess for this station. | Speculation | Cocoteo FM |
| Manufacturer: Crest | Confirmed | Crest Kayak |
| The Crest Kayak is part of the Ultimate Edition vehicle set. Kayaks are also confirmed for Mount Kalaga National Park 's rivers. | Confirmed | Crest Kayak |
| What it tracks: How you commit crimes | Confirmed | Criminal Profile |
| Comparison: Red Dead Redemption 2's honor system | Confirmed | Criminal Profile |
| The Criminal Profile is a rating shown for the first time in the Extended Look. Wanted stars measure how much the police want you right now; the profile tracks the way you commit crimes, clean or needlessly brutal, and unlike the stars it does not reset. | Confirmed | Criminal Profile |
| The profile gives the game a memory of your conduct that the police system, by design, does not have. Rockstar has also said single-player has no microtransactions. | Confirmed | Criminal Profile |
| Range: Professional to Irredeemable | Reported | Criminal Profile |
| Measures: How you handle intimidation, incapacitation and killing | Reported | Criminal Profile |
| Affects: How the story unfolds (Edge) | Reported | Criminal Profile |
| It reflects how you handle intimidation, incapacitation and killing, and it affects how the story unfolds. You cannot give up crime, but the story is about Jason and Lucia wanting to. | Reported | Criminal Profile |
| Affects: Not shown: prices, endings, NPCs unknown | Unknown | Criminal Profile |
| One or two?: Per lead or shared: unknown | Unknown | Criminal Profile |
| Red Dead's honor touched shop prices, dialogue and the ending, but GTA 6 may use it very differently. It is also unconfirmed whether each lead keeps a separate profile. | Unknown | Criminal Profile |
| Police: Clothes are one of four leads ( Police leads ) | Confirmed | Customisation |
| Customisation in GTA 6 is both fashion and strategy: Rockstar has named a clothing store, a salon that does nails, a tattoo parlour with fifty designs and a pre-order pack built around looks, and the police track what you wear. | Confirmed | Customisation |
| The Standard Edition will have clothes, hair and tattoos too; Rockstar has simply not named those shops yet. | Confirmed | Customisation |
| Clothes: Outfit wheel; masks on the spot | Reported | Customisation |
| Previews of the Extended Look describe an outfit wheel, opened from the weapon wheel, for changing clothes and pulling on masks on the spot. | Reported | Customisation |
| The Extended Look listed a gym with San Andreas-style body changes among the activities ( Activities ). | Reported | Customisation |
| Whether clothes are shared between the two leads, how wardrobes are saved, and how the salon options are split between Jason and Lucia are unknown. | Unknown | Customisation |
| Working title: Project Americas | Reported | Development and delays |
| Team: 4,711 across 12 offices (2018: 2,441) | Reported | Development and delays |
| Cost: Not disclosed; Kolbe rejects >$1.5B | Reported | Development and delays |
| In a long Bloomberg feature by Jason Schreier published on October 14, 2026, Rockstar's leaders spoke on the record for the first time about how Grand Theft Auto VI was made. It contains no story spoilers and does not change the release date. | Reported | Development and delays |
| GTA 6 was planned alongside Red Dead Redemption 2, and as RDR2 grew it pulled in most of the company, pushing GTA 6 back by years. By 2019 the core of the game and the two-protagonist design were in place; the pandemic and working from home slowed the fine detail. | Reported | Development and delays |
| Open-world writing director James Horton's goal: nobody you meet is an extra. | Reported | Development and delays |
| Rockstar ended remote work in April 2024 as security tightened, and Kolbe says the five-day office policy will be reviewed after launch. The feature reports measures to limit overtime while acknowledging crunch has not been eliminated. | Reported | Development and delays |
| No next game has been announced. Hooker also says the team changed things "within the last few months", which is ordinary tuning at this scale and not a sign of a third delay. | Reported | Development and delays |
| Manufacturer: Dinka | Confirmed | Dinka Enduro |
| Type: Motorcycle | Confirmed | Dinka Enduro |
| The Dinka Enduro is the motorcycle in the Ultimate Edition vehicle set. | Confirmed | Dinka Enduro |
| Dirt bikes are a confirmed activity ( Activities ) and appear on the forest trails of Mount Kalaga National Park and the streets of Port Gellhorn. One official Ultimate Edition screenshot shows an olive trail bike against a wall, which we take to be the Enduro. | Speculation | Dinka Enduro |
| Genre: Classic rap and hip hop | Confirmed | Dirty South Classics |
| Dirty South Classics is one of the six Leonida radio stations Rockstar previewed on October 8, 2026. Genre: classic rap and hip hop. | Confirmed | Dirty South Classics |
| The Southern rap heard in the Extended Look (Birdman and Lil Wayne's "Pop Bottles", for example) is the community's guess for this station. | Speculation | Dirty South Classics |
| Occupation: Dealer; runs Only Raw Records | Confirmed | Dre'Quan Priest |
| Dre'Quan Priest is a dealer with ambitions who runs Only Raw Records. Rockstar's description is that he is more of a hustler than a gangster. | Confirmed | Dre'Quan Priest |
| Fuel: Gauges shown; refuelling details unknown | Confirmed | Driving and fuel |
| Streets: Narrower, more realistic (Nelson) | Confirmed | Driving and fuel |
| Damage: Crashes damage the environment | Confirmed | Driving and fuel |
| Cars in GTA 6 have fuel gauges, crashes damage the environment, and shooting out a pursuing cruiser's tyres can flip it. Rob Nelson told IGN the streets are narrower and more realistic than GTA V's. | Confirmed | Driving and fuel |
| Garages: Purchasable garages described in previews | Reported | Driving and fuel |
| Safehouses: Work like RDR2's camps (Nelson) | Reported | Driving and fuel |
| The pre-order Shore Court garage comes with a weapon locker and a fence. Previews described purchasable garages, and Nelson said safehouses work more like Red Dead Redemption 2's camps than the old GTA safehouses. | Reported | Driving and fuel |
| It likely matters most on long trips across Leonida, which is, by Rockstar's own description, about three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's map, and least in Vice City traffic. | Speculation | Driving and fuel |
| Standard: $79.99; digital or boxed download code | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Ultimate: $99.99; digital only | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Pre-order bonus: Vintage Vice City Pack, both editions | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Pre-orders opened: June 25, 2026 | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Upgrade: Standard owners can upgrade later | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Grand Theft Auto VI costs $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026 and both editions unlock on November 19. | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| You cannot start downloading until the box arrives and the code is redeemed. The Ultimate Edition is digital only. | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| Rockstar has said single-player has no microtransactions and that no generative AI was used to make the game. | Confirmed | Editions and prices |
| On PS5, refunds are allowed within 14 days of the pre-order and only before anything has been downloaded, so a June pre-order can no longer be refunded. Check the Xbox Store's own policy for that side. | Reported | Editions and prices |
| Type: Tattoo parlour | Confirmed | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Designs: 50+ by FAILE | Confirmed | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Area: Stockyard | Confirmed | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Edition: Ultimate Edition exclusive | Confirmed | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Electric Fang Tattoo is Stockyard's ink bar, with a neon fang sign out front and more than fifty designs by the New York art collective FAILE. It is an Ultimate Edition exclusive. | Confirmed | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Both leads arrive with tattoos already; this is where you add to them. Faces and tattoos are part of what the police can match, so the design list matters beyond style ( Police leads ). | Speculation | Electric Fang Tattoo |
| Genre: pop. It is a returning name from the 1986-set Vice City, now broadcasting in the present day. | Confirmed | Flash FM |
| The pop in the Extended Look, such as Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" and Depeche Mode's "People Are People", is the community's guess for this station. | Speculation | Flash FM |
| Type: Retro build of Jason's pickup | Confirmed | Ganado retro build |
| The Ganado retro build is an Ultimate Edition upgrade for Jason Duval 's pickup, listed by Rockstar as a Vapid Ganado retro build. | Confirmed | Ganado retro build |
| Rockstar lists it as the sixth vehicle of the edition and shows it in one official screenshot. Details beyond the name are not published. | Unknown | Ganado retro build |
| Type: Apparel | Confirmed | Goodtime Gear |
| Goodtime Gear is the Ultimate Edition's apparel line: casual, in on the joke, and shown as matching Vice City tees with a cartoon gator. | Confirmed | Goodtime Gear |
| Release: November 19, 2026 | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| Price: $79.99 Standard, $99.99 Ultimate | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| It follows two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, and launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| GTA 6 is a single-player-led open-world crime game with two switchable protagonists, a six-star wanted system, a persistent Criminal Profile and a state-sized map. Rockstar has said single-player has no microtransactions and that no generative AI was used to make the game. | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| Six regions have been shown: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Rockstar describes the map as about three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's. | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI |
| PC: Not announced | Unknown | Grand Theft Auto VI |

| Released so far: First six tracks | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album |
| Pre-save: Through Rockstar's site | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album |
| Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album on September 17, 2026: 34 original songs across genres, arriving with the game on November 19. | Confirmed | Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album |
| Type: Sawgrass wetlands | Confirmed | Grassrivers |
| Inspired by: The Everglades | Confirmed | Grassrivers |
| Grassrivers is the Everglades in all but name: sawgrass marsh stretching to the horizon, alligators in it, and airboats as the only sensible way across. | Confirmed | Grassrivers |
| Short definitions for terms that come up across the wiki. Each links to the page that covers it in full. | Confirmed | GTA 6 glossary |
| Every claim on this wiki carries a badge saying how solid it is. | Confirmed | GTA 6 glossary |
| Business: Smuggling | Confirmed | Heder's smuggling operation |
| Brian Heder 's operation in the Leonida Keys is the smaller, quieter group in the game's opening: product moved by boat through a boatyard, with Jason Duval doing the work Brian is too old to do. | Confirmed | Heder's smuggling operation |
| The Keys are the start of the supply chain; Ambrosia, with its biker gang, appears to be the inland end. | Speculation | Heder's smuggling operation |
| Named by Rockstar: Hunting, fishing (Mount Kalaga) | Confirmed | Hunting and fishing |
| Animal count: 170+ species, up from GTA V's ~28 | Reported | Hunting and fishing |
| Tiers: Rare, discoverable, legendary, with tracking | Reported | Hunting and fishing |
| Rockstar has not shown how hunting or fishing actually plays. | Reported | Hunting and fishing |
| Game Informer's cover story reports a new fur system for coats and pelts, and animals sorted into tiers whose identities Rockstar is keeping secret, with tracking built in for some. | Reported | Hunting and fishing |
| Everything in this section is interpretation. | Speculation | Hunting and fishing |
| Mechanics: Not shown | Unknown | Hunting and fishing |
| Switching: Instant when together; a few seconds when apart | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Relationship: Partners in crime whether or not the romance develops | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Police lead: "Partner" icon, one of four | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Marriage: Rob Nelson would not confirm or deny it | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Grand Theft Auto VI is built around a pair: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, who for the first time in the series are a couple. Rockstar's premise is that an easy score goes wrong, a conspiracy opens up across Leonida, and the two have to rely on each other to get through it. | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Nurturing the relationship changes how the story plays out, but it never splits them into separate stories. Text messages between the two float on screen during the showcase's final mission, a hint at how the writing will carry it. | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Giving up crime is not an option, but Edge says the story centres on wanting to leave that life. Asked whether the two can marry, Rob Nelson declined to confirm or deny it. | Confirmed | Jason and Lucia |
| Closeness: A four-point scale, raised by time together | Reported | Jason and Lucia |
| Walking, cycling, working out and driving around together usually raise it; working out needs a gym membership. You can switch between them at any time. | Reported | Jason and Lucia |
| Background: Grew up around crooks; served in the Army | Confirmed | Jason Duval |
| Occupation: Runs product for smugglers in the Leonida Keys | Confirmed | Jason Duval |
| Home: A property owned by Brian Heder in the Leonida Keys, rent-free | Confirmed | Jason Duval |
| Jason Duval is one of the two playable leads of Grand Theft Auto VI, alongside Lucia Caminos. Rockstar describes him as a man who grew up around crooks, did a stint in the Army and came out of it wanting an easy life, and who now works for drug runners in the Leonida Keys. | Confirmed | Jason Duval |
| It did not turn out that way. The launch trailer of October 15, 2026 adds that his military service ended badly and that the way he left is part of why ordinary life in the Keys is a struggle for him. | Confirmed | Jason Duval |
| Released: October 15, 2026 | Confirmed | Launch trailer |
| Song: Justice ft. Tame Impala, SZA, King Gizzard, "Flower in a Hurricane" | Confirmed | Launch trailer |
| New gameplay features: None: a story trailer | Confirmed | Launch trailer |
| Rockstar released the launch trailer on October 15, 2026, with no countdown, five weeks before release: about 90 seconds of new footage captured on PlayStation 5, and the first official video since the Extended Look. | Confirmed | Launch trailer |
| Type: Fictional US state, present day | Confirmed | Leonida |
| Size (Rockstar): Nearly as much land as GTA IV, GTA V and RDR2 combined; Edge: about twice GTA V | Confirmed | Leonida |
| It belongs to the modern HD Universe, the same continuity as GTA IV and GTA V, so the 2002 game's layout, timeline and characters do not carry over. | Confirmed | Leonida |
| Highway signs in Trailer 1 point to Vice Beaches, the Port and Keys, VCI Airport and Kelly County, and the trailer also shows a wealthy waterfront enclave with tennis courts and a yacht. | Confirmed | Leonida |
| Rockstar has not published a size for the city or the state. At the Extended Look, Rockstar's own comparison was that the map is about three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's. | Confirmed | Leonida |
| Aaron Garbut says there are an order of magnitude more interiors than in earlier Rockstar games. | Confirmed | Leonida |
| Size: Not published. Rockstar: about three times RDR2's map; fans: 1.5 to 2 times GTA V | Reported | Leonida |
| Opens: Relatively early; you can head north without the story (Edge) | Reported | Leonida |
| Transport: Rideable buses and trains | Reported | Leonida |
| Edge reports the map opens up relatively early, so you can head north and explore without following the story. Rockstar has not said exactly when. | Reported | Leonida |
| Wind is sheltered near islands and buildings, so boats handle differently from place to place; flying through a storm too long damages aircraft; pedestrians seek shelter. | Reported | Leonida |
| Getting around. Buses and trains serve the state and you can ride them; Phil Hooker says he takes the bus to watch the world go by. | Reported | Leonida |
| Type: Island chain, bridge-linked | Confirmed | Leonida Keys |
| Inspired by: Florida Keys | Confirmed | Leonida Keys |
| Known for: Smuggling; Jason and Lucia's first apartment | Confirmed | Leonida Keys |
| The Leonida Keys are a chain of islands connected by bridges, running south from the mainland and modelled on the Florida Keys. This is where Jason Duval lives and where the game's smuggling country is. | Confirmed | Leonida Keys |
| Background: Taught to fight by her father; early years in Liberty City | Confirmed | Lucia Caminos |
| Prison: Leonida Penitentiary, for fighting for her family | Confirmed | Lucia Caminos |
| Goal: The good life, and only smart moves from here | Confirmed | Lucia Caminos |
| Lucia Caminos is one of GTA 6's two playable leads and the first woman to headline a mainline Grand Theft Auto outright, rather than as one of several selectable characters. Trailer 1 introduced her in a prison jumpsuit, putting her situation down to bad luck. | Confirmed | Lucia Caminos |
| Type: Forested highlands and national park | Confirmed | Mount Kalaga National Park |
| Activities: Hunting, fishing, off-roading | Confirmed | Mount Kalaga National Park |
| Wildlife: Deer, a big cat resembling a Florida panther | Confirmed | Mount Kalaga National Park |
| Mount Kalaga National Park is the forested highlands at the northern edge of Leonida: dirt trails, hunting camps, cabins, people living off the grid and, in Rockstar's description, fringe locals. It is the closest GTA 6 comes to Red Dead Redemption 2's terrain. | Confirmed | Mount Kalaga National Park |
| Type: Mod shop | Confirmed | One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop |
| Edition: Ultimate Edition -tagged | Confirmed | One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop |
| One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop is a vehicle modification shop tagged as Ultimate Edition content in Rockstar's official screenshots. | Confirmed | One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop |
| Three screenshots show a bright green off-road truck with a bull bar and lifted suspension, a close-up of its front end and the truck being worked on in the shop. Services and pricing are not published. | Unknown | One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop |
| Type: Record label and Vice City circle | Confirmed | Only Raw Records |
| Only Raw Records is the Vice City label Dre'Quan Priest runs. It is not a gang in the biker sense: Rockstar describes the circle around it almost entirely in business terms, linking Boobie Ike 's club, studio and real estate to Real Dimez, the act that could give them a hit. | Confirmed | Only Raw Records |
| Nobody in this circle is dressed to disappear, because none of them do crime that needs disappearing. Boobie's printed shirt says ownership, Dre'Quan's varsity jacket says access, and the Dimez' fur says look at me. | Speculation | Only Raw Records |
| Location: Watson Bay | Confirmed | Paradise Garage |
| Holds: Six vehicles: Cheetah, Dominator Buggy, Enduro, Kayak, Squalo, Ganado build | Confirmed | Paradise Garage |
| The Paradise Garage in Watson Bay is the garage that comes with the Ultimate Edition, with a home for its six vehicles. | Confirmed | Paradise Garage |
| Rockstar's edition description says six vehicles come "with somewhere to keep them." Where in the state Watson Bay is has not been shown. The pre-order garage is the separate Shore Court garage. | Unknown | Paradise Garage |
| Platform: In-game social feed | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| NPCs: Post, go viral, livestream | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| Snapmatic: Returns; the leads cannot post | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| It is the game's version of the internet, and the reveal trailer was cut like a scroll through it. | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| The Extended Look made that a game system: NPC posts can go viral, and NPCs who livestream can catch you on their streams. | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| Snapmatic returns from GTA V. The two leads are fugitives and cannot post to it, which fits a world where being filmed is a way of being found. | Confirmed | Phone and social feed |
| Phone extras: Podcast-style programming; car-scan app | Reported | Phone and social feed |
| Named apps: WAINK (car fences), Scooter Bros (car delivery) | Reported | Phone and social feed |
| Text messages between Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos float on screen during the showcase's final mission. Previews described a phone app that scans a parked car ( Car theft and keys ), and Rockstar's radio reveal said the phone will carry podcast-style programming. | Reported | Phone and social feed |
| Scooter Bros delivers your personal vehicle for a fee within seconds. Details on Car theft and keys. | Reported | Phone and social feed |
| Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S (including Series S) | Confirmed | Platforms and PC |
| PS4 / Xbox One: No | Confirmed | Platforms and PC |
| Footage captured on: A base PlayStation 5 | Confirmed | Platforms and PC |
| Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and only those. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version and no PC version has been announced. | Confirmed | Platforms and PC |
| Rockstar has brought every modern GTA and Red Dead to PC, never on day one: GTA V took about nineteen months after the first console release, Red Dead Redemption 2 about thirteen. If the pattern holds, a PC version is a 2027 or 2028 conversation. | Speculation | Platforms and PC |
| Icons: Vehicle, clothes, face, partner | Confirmed | Police leads |
| Clear vehicle: Swap cars | Confirmed | Police leads |
| Clear clothes: Change outfit completely | Confirmed | Police leads |
| Clear partner: Split up | Confirmed | Police leads |
| The four icons beside GTA 6's wanted stars show what the police know about you: the vehicle they saw you in, your clothes, your face, and whether you are with a partner. Clear a lead and its icon goes out. | Confirmed | Police leads |
| A full change of clothes clears the clothing lead; previews say an outfit wheel, opened from the weapon wheel, changes clothes and pulls on masks on the spot. | Confirmed | Police leads |
| Clear face: Unconfirmed: masks and disguises | Reported | Police leads |
| Also counted: Weapons, physical description, security cameras (Edge) | Reported | Police leads |
| Splitting up, changing clothes or dropping a weapon all reduce recognition. Some cars also carry trackers that broadcast their location to the police ( Car theft and keys ). | Reported | Police leads |
| Wear something forgettable to a job and keep a change of clothes in the car; the pre-order Vintage Vice City Pack and Ultimate Edition outfits give you a second wardrobe. | Speculation | Police leads |
| Type: Faded beach town, Gulf Coast | Confirmed | Port Gellhorn |
| Known for: Cheap motels, shuttered attractions | Confirmed | Port Gellhorn |
| Story: The story begins here | Confirmed | Port Gellhorn |
| Port Gellhorn is a once-popular Gulf Coast beach town gone to seed, and the place where Rockstar says Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos 's story begins. | Confirmed | Port Gellhorn |
| The Extended Look's backyard wrestling clip is set here. There are no club colours and no patches, just heat, dirt bikes and poverty. | Speculation | Port Gellhorn |
| Pre-load: November 10, 2026 | Confirmed | Pre-load and download size |
| Box edition: Download code, no disc | Confirmed | Pre-load and download size |
| Digital pre-orders of GTA 6 can download from November 10, 2026, nine days before the game unlocks. Pre-load is not early access: the files stay locked until your region's unlock time, and Take-Two has said no edition plays early. | Confirmed | Pre-load and download size |
| Install size: Reported 210 GB on PS5; Rockstar has not confirmed it | Reported | Pre-load and download size |
| Either way it is larger than Red Dead Redemption 2's 105 GB. The 676 GB and 750 GB screenshots that circulated were debunked. | Reported | Pre-load and download size |
| Clear: About 260 GB | Speculation | Pre-load and download size |
| Type: Store; raid in the Ultimate Edition | Confirmed | PTT Youngin$ store |
| The PTT Youngin$ store appears in Rockstar's official screenshots, and the Ultimate Edition adds a piece of side content tied to it: the PTT Youngin$ Compound raid. | Confirmed | PTT Youngin$ store |
| The screenshot shows a crowd in a neon-lit store with a pink-and-white sport bike. The compound raid is side content that Rockstar describes without further detail. | Unknown | PTT Youngin$ store |
| Stations: Six previewed | Confirmed | Radio stations |
| Radio has been the series' signature since the first game, and on October 8, 2026 Rockstar gave the first proper look at Leonida's dial. Six stations have been previewed, each with its own art. | Confirmed | Radio stations |
| Also: In-game phone podcast programming | Reported | Radio stations |
| Rockstar said some stations are tied to specific parts of the map. The lineup looks built to match Leonida: Latin and Afro stations for Vice City, country for the interior and the hills, metal for the long roads between. | Speculation | Radio stations |
| The 34-song original album arrives with the game ( Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album ), and the songs in the trailers are collected on Songs in the trailers. Expect the full station list, hosts and tracklists near the November 10 pre-load. | Speculation | Radio stations |
| Full lineup: Not confirmed | Unknown | Radio stations |
| Hosts and tracklists: Not published | Unknown | Radio stations |
| Occupation: Bank robber | Confirmed | Raul Bautista |
| Trait: Reckless; recruits risk-takers | Confirmed | Raul Bautista |
| Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber, always chasing the next score, always recruiting risk-takers. Rockstar's description is that his recklessness raises the stakes of every job, and Trailer 2 suggests Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos end up on his crew. | Confirmed | Raul Bautista |
| Raul is the face of the bank-robbery side of the game. The launch trailer is built around a robbery that was meant to be simple and goes wrong, and Raul Bautista's crew is the crew most likely to be in the middle of it. | Speculation | Raul Bautista |
| Business: Bank robbery | Confirmed | Raul Bautista's crew |
| Recruits: Risk-takers | Confirmed | Raul Bautista's crew |
| The crew around Raul Bautista is the one most likely to matter to the robbery plot the launch trailer is built around. Trailer 2 suggests Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos end up on it. | Confirmed | Raul Bautista's crew |
| That links directly to the police system: a full change of outfit clears the clothing lead ( Police leads ), so the advice for this crew is to wear something forgettable to the job, keep a second set in the car, and never do a bank in a leopard coat. | Speculation | Raul Bautista's crew |
| The launch trailer's premise is a robbery that was supposed to be simple and pulls the two leads into something larger. Rockstar has not said which crew is on the job. | Speculation | Raul Bautista's crew |
| Members: Bae-Luxe and Roxy | Confirmed | Real Dimez |
| Act: Rap duo; had a hit five years ago | Confirmed | Real Dimez |
| History: Robbed local dealers in school | Confirmed | Real Dimez |

| Rockstar has given no indication of a third delay, pre-orders and pre-load dates are set, and Take-Two has said no edition plays early. Nothing is certain until the 19th, but every public signal points to the date holding. | Speculation | Release date history |

| Offers: Facial hair, makeup, nails | Confirmed | Sara's Unisex Salon |
| Sara's Unisex Salon is described by Rockstar as offering signature salon styles, including facial hair for Jason Duval and makeup and nails for Lucia Caminos. It is an Ultimate Edition exclusive. | Confirmed | Sara's Unisex Salon |
| The word unisex is in the name; the described options are split by character. That describes two fixed leads, not a rule about what either can use, and it says nothing yet about whether Jason can sit at the manicure table. | Unknown | Sara's Unisex Salon |

| Extended Look: A dozen tracks identified | Community | Songs in the trailers |

| Radio: Flash FM returns | Confirmed | Vice City |
| Vice City is the centrepiece of Leonida and, in Rockstar's words, the most detailed street-level city the studio has built. It is a present-day city in the HD Universe, rebuilt from scratch, not a sequel to the 2002 game's map. | Confirmed | Vice City |
| GTA 6: Vice City, November 19, 2026; present day | Confirmed | Vice City (2002) vs GTA 6 |
| Connection: Shared name and Miami inspiration; no shared map, timeline or characters | Confirmed | Vice City (2002) vs GTA 6 |
| Grand Theft Auto: Vice City came out on October 27, 2002, and was set in 1986. GTA 6 returns to a city of the same name more than twenty years later, but it is not a sequel or a remake: it is a present-day Vice City rebuilt from scratch inside Leonida, in the HD Universe. | Confirmed | Vice City (2002) vs GTA 6 |
| The name, the Miami inspiration, the art-deco beachfront and the neon. Flash FM is back on the dial. | Confirmed | Vice City (2002) vs GTA 6 |

| Cut-off: Digital purchases before Nov 20, 2026 | Confirmed | Vintage Vice City Pack |

| Physical Standard Edition copies, which ship from November 12 with a download code, carry the bonus as pre-orders too. Nothing has been said about the pack being sold separately afterwards. | Unknown | Vintage Vice City Pack |

| Everything here comes from An Extended Look, the 26-minute gameplay showcase of August 27, 2026, and from Rockstar North's Rob Nelson walking through it. | Confirmed | Wanted level |
| Smash a window on an empty back road and the meter stays empty. Nelson's words were that the system "requires that someone witness the crime." Previews the same day described hollow stars for when police know a crime happened but not who did it. | Confirmed | Wanted level |
| K9 units: Police dogs can catch and pin you | Reported | Wanted level |
| Description: Police track clothes, vehicle and whether the pair is together | Reported | Wanted level |
| Edge adds physical descriptions, weapons and security camera footage as identifiers. Splitting up, changing clothes or dropping a weapon makes you harder to recognise. | Reported | Wanted level |
| In the demo a spike strip burst a motorbike tyre during a getaway, and a K9 German shepherd caught and pinned Jason. Edge also says the game leaves room to back off before things escalate. | Reported | Wanted level |
| Star colours: White: pursuit. Red: searching | Community | Wanted level |
| Kill the leads while they are red and leave the search area, and the stars fade. Get spotted again and they go white with every lead that was still lit. | Community | Wanted level |
| Levels four to six have not been shown. In the earlier six-star games those meant helicopters, SWAT and finally the military. | Unknown | Wanted level |
