What is being said about GTA 6 – and what of that stands

There are more claims circulating about GTA 6 than facts. This page doesn’t collect them, it sorts them. Each is discernible with who makes it, what it’s based on, and whether it’s been independently confirmed.

Of 8 pursued claims, 3 have been officially confirmed and 2 have been disproved. We deliberately leave disproved claims standing: a rumour no one publicly disproves will return in six months as new.

How we assess

Each item has a confidence level. This is not based on a hunch, but on the answers to three questions: who is making the claim, can it be traced to a primary source, and is there independent confirmation?

Confirmed100/100

Rockstar Games or Take-Two stated it in their own material — a trailer, the game website, a press release or an investor report.

Reported and verified65/100

An established publication reported it following its own checks and named the author. It is not official, but someone is accountable for the report.

Leak35/100

It comes from material that was not intended for publication. It may be genuine, but it may also be outdated — games change during development.

Speculation12/100

It is inferred from a trailer, data mining or discussion within the community. Interesting, but we do not claim that it is true.

Debunked0/100

It proved false or was denied by a primary source. We deliberately keep it here — otherwise a debunked rumour tends to return.

The level changes when new evidence appears. Each item shows the date of its latest review.

Followed claims

Sorted by highest occupancy

Confirmed

The protagonists are Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos

Rockstar introduced them in the trailer and on the official game page. Lucia grew up in Liberty City and was sent to prison in the state of Leonida; Jason served in the military and later worked for local drug runners. It is the first time a woman has had a lead role in GTA — and the first time since GTA V that the game has more than one protagonist.

Confirmed

The game is set in Vice City and the state of Leonida

Leonida is a fictional state inspired by Florida, and Vice City is its largest city. Rockstar has stated this directly. Vice City last served as the setting in 2002 — more than twenty years ago in real time.

Confirmed

The game will cost 100 dollars

A hit, but not a clean one. Alongside pre-orders on 25 June 2026 Rockstar published two prices: $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. So the hundred applies to the pricier of the two, not to the base game. The analysts the figure had circulated from since May 2025 were aiming at the base edition — and there they missed. Rockstar did not separately state prices in local currencies.

Reported and verified

The map is twice the size of GTA V's and has more than 700 interiors

Half of this sentence was confirmed in August 2026, the other half was not. In interviews around the extended look, Rockstar gave ratios for the first time: the whole map is meant to be three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2, and Vice City alone twice the size of Los Santos. It did not state this in its own material — not on the game's website, not in a press release — which is why this is not “confirmed”. It said nothing at all about the number of interiors; the figure of 700 has no source and grew up around the 2022 leak.

Leak

The leaked videos from 2022 show what the game will look like

Dozens of videos from a development build leaked in September 2022. Rockstar confirmed that they were genuine and described the incident as an unauthorised intrusion into its systems. The crucial caveat is that this was an unfinished build already years old. Anything in it may be different today — and much has changed. Anyone using that material to claim how the game looks now is relying on outdated evidence.

Speculation

There will be another delay

Nobody is saying this officially, and we are not predicting it. There is, however, a documented fact behind the suggestion: the release has already been delayed twice — from autumn 2025 to May 2026, then to November 2026. Inferring a third delay from that is speculation, not information.

Debunked

The PC version will launch alongside the console versions

Rockstar has announced PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC is not included in the announcement. The studio also released the PC versions of both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 later than their console versions — by about a year and a half in GTA V's case. A simultaneous launch would therefore break with the established pattern rather than continue it.

Debunked

The game will have Czech subtitles

Debunked. The Rockstar Games Store lists 13 supported languages, including Polish, Russian and Portuguese (Brazil), but Czech is not among them. GTA V offered the same set of languages. Fan translations may still appear, but they cannot be installed on consoles.
