FAQ

🟡 Analysis Currently, the internal target remains Fall 2025/Early 2026. While rumors of a delay to late 2026 exist due to production lag, Rockstar has not issued an official delay statement yet.

🟡 Analysis If a delay happens, it's typically for "polishing". Rockstar refuses to release buggy games. The strict Return-to-Office mandate was implemented specifically to speed up development and prevent leaks.

⚪ Pending Expect pre-orders to go live approximately 3 to 6 months before the official release date. Likely alongside a Trailer 3 drop.

🟡 Analysis Not at launch. Rockstar historically prioritizes consoles. PC players should expect a waiting period of 12-18 months after the console debut. 🖥️

🟢 Confirmed PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. The game is too technically demanding for PS4 or Xbox One generation hardware.

🟡 Analysis An SSD will be mandatory. We project a minimum of an RTX 2070 / Ryzen 7 3700X equivalent to handle the RAGE 9 engine density.

🟡 Analysis On base consoles (PS5/Series X), a 30 FPS Quality Mode is expected due to CPU strain. A PS5 Pro is your best bet for a stable 60 FPS performance mode.

🟡 Analysis Given Sony's marketing rights, a limited edition PS5 Pro bundle featuring Vice City aesthetics is highly probable for the launch window.

🔴 Unlikely Rockstar is focusing on flat-screen fidelity. While L.A. Noire and San Andreas got VR ports, GTA 6 is too resource-heavy for current VR headsets at launch.

🟡 Analysis Crossplay between PS5 and Xbox is possible, but PC crossplay is unlikely due to security/modding risks affecting the console economy.

🟢 Confirmed Police now use tactical AI and a "Witness System". Civilians must call 911 before you get a star, giving you a chance to intercept them.

🟢 Confirmed Yes. Leaks confirm a massive increase in enterable interiors, from motels and pawn shops to nightclubs, without loading screens.

🟡 Likely After acquiring the FiveM team, Rockstar is expected to integrate official Roleplay server support directly into the game menu, potentially even for consoles.

🟢 Confirmed The new weather system includes volumetric clouds, flooding, and high winds that physically affect driving and flying. 🌪️

🟢 Confirmed Similar to RDR2, you will likely be limited to weapons you can carry on your person. Heavier gear must be stored in your vehicle's trunk.

🟡 Likely It's a franchise tradition. Expect phone-number based cheats (like in GTA V) to spawn vehicles and chaos.

🟢 Confirmed Yes, the story focuses on a duo: Lucia and Jason. You can switch between them instantly in the open world.

🔴 Debunked The 3D Universe (2002) and HD Universe (GTA 6) are separate canons. Also, Ray Liotta passed away in 2022. Expect Easter eggs, not a cameo.

🟡 Analysis Strong evidence points to Manni L. Perez as Lucia and Dylan Rourke as Jason, based on voice analysis and appearance.

🟡 Theory Trailer footage from bodycams has fueled rumors that Jason might be undercover or ex-law enforcement, complicating his relationship with Lucia.

🟢 Confirmed It shares the "HD Universe" with GTA IV and GTA V. References to Lifeinvader and Jay Norris have already been spotted.

🔴 Debunked The $150 price tag rumor is false. Expect a standard premium price ($70-$80), with higher costs only for the Collector's Edition.

🔴 Unlikely Standard online play will be free (with base game). GTA+ will likely offer faster progression, exclusive cars, and VIP club access.

⚪ Pending Rockstar has not confirmed this. Given the new economy, a "Fresh Start" is most likely, possibly with legacy cosmetic rewards for veterans.
