What is established
Nine things about Grand Theft Auto VI can be stated plainly, because somebody at Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive put each of them in writing on a date you can check. Each one below carries that material and that date.
The announced platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
There is no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
No PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI has been announced. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
Those three are one announcement read carefully. The platform list is the whole first-party platform list, so the absence of a PC version from it is a fact about the record rather than a refusal — nobody has ruled one out either, and the PC question has its own page because the guesses around it are the most confident writing about this game anywhere.
The Standard Edition is $79.99 in the United States. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
The Ultimate Edition is $99.99 in the United States. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
Pre-loading begins on 12 November 2026, one week before launch. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
Two editions and one download date, then. What separates the two, and what is actually inside the boxed copy, are set out on the editions page.
The game is set in the fictional US state of Leonida. Confirmed. PlayStation.Blog (Rockstar-authored), .
Grand Theft Auto VI has two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Confirmed. Take-Two Interactive press release, .
"Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look" premieres on 27 August 2026. Confirmed. Rockstar Games Newswire, .
That is close to the whole of what can be said plainly about the game itself. The date, the two delays that preceded it and what was said on each occasion are set out on the release date page.
What nobody has answered
Fifteen of the 121 graded entries on this site are recorded as unknown. That is a published answer here rather than a gap in the research: it means nobody who would know has said anything, in either direction, and that everything you can read on the subject was written by somebody reasoning from something else.
Five of those fifteen are the questions people ask most, and each one below carries the date it went unanswered, what has actually been said, and the specific thing that would end it.
There is no PC release date. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none. Would settle it: a Rockstar Newswire post naming a PC storefront and a date. Absence of any first-party statement.
The size of the map has never been stated. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: five regions named, plus Vice City, and no area, distance or map. Would settle it: an official map, or an area figure from Rockstar or Take-Two. Absence of any first-party statement.
Nothing has been said about campaign length, mission count, or how the two protagonists are switched between. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none. Would settle it: a mission count or a campaign length stated by Rockstar. Absence of any first-party statement.
Rockstar has not stated a target frame rate, a resolution, or what performance and quality modes exist on any console. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: PlayStation 5 hardware features named, and no frame rate, resolution or mode. Would settle it: a stated target frame rate, or a named performance mode. Notebookcheck.
Rockstar has not announced what time the game unlocks on 19 November 2026. Not known. Open since ; statements to cite: none. Would settle it: a Newswire post naming an unlock time, in any time zone. Absence of any first-party statement.
The remaining ten unknowns run from the download size to the voice cast to the age rating. Those, the 16 claims that circulate without anybody behind them, and the 4 claims that first-party material has contradicted outright are all on rumours and debunks. How a claim earns each of the four states is set out on how this site grades a claim.
