Status Key: 🟢 Confirmed | 🟡 Analysis | 🔴 Pending
🚀 Release & Platforms
🟢 Confirmed Rockstar Games has officially set the release date for November 19, 2026. This date was locked following the second trailer reveal.
Read Full Briefing →🔴 Pending No official PC release date has been announced. Historically, Rockstar releases PC ports 12-18 months after consoles. We advise PC operators to expect a 2027/2028 window.
Platform Analysis →🟢 Confirmed No. The game is built exclusively for current-gen hardware (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) to support the advanced Vice City density and physics.
💻 Hardware & Specs
🟡 Analysis Not confirmed. Given the visual fidelity of Leonida, a 30 FPS Quality Mode is expected as standard. A 60 FPS Performance Mode may be available but will likely lower resolution significantly.
🔴 Pending Official specs are pending. Based on current engine tech, an SSD is mandatory. Expect requirements to exceed those of Red Dead Redemption 2 significantly.
🟡 Analysis Highly likely. Sony often partners with Rockstar for major marketing rights. Expect specialized hardware bundles announced closer to November 2026.
🎮 Gameplay Mechanics
🟡 Analysis Trailer footage suggests a deeper "Witness System" involving CCTV and civilian smartphones. Police AI appears to use tactical breaching maneuvers rather than just spawning infinitely.
View Police Intel →🟢 Confirmed Yes. Leaks and trailers verify a significantly higher density of enterable buildings, including motels, liquor stores, and nightclubs like Jack of Hearts.
🟢 Confirmed Similar to previous titles but with new mechanics. Players can intimidate clerks, loot physical cash registers, and demand safe access. See the Robbery Activity page for verified tactics.
🔴 Pending While fuel gauges are visible in vehicle HUDs in leaked footage, it is unconfirmed if refueling is a mandatory mechanic or a toggleable realism feature.
Vehicle Database →🌐 Online & Community
🔴 Pending Rockstar has not confirmed character migration. Given the new engine and economy of Leonida, a fresh start is the most probable scenario.
🟡 Analysis Unlikely. Rockstar historically separates economies by platform (PC/Console) to manage modding and security. No official crossplay announcement has been made.
Crossplay Report →🟡 Analysis Rockstar's acquisition of the FiveM team suggests integrated Roleplay support is in development, possibly bringing dedicated RP servers to console for the first time.
🌴 World & Lore
🟡 Analysis Mapping projects estimate Leonida is approx. 2x the size of the GTA V map, featuring Vice City , Port Gellhorn , and the massive Grassrivers wetlands.
🟡 Analysis Unlikely. The 3D Universe (Vice City 2002) and HD Universe (GTA 6) are separate canons. However, expect Easter eggs referencing the legendary kingpin.
