Criminal Profile tracks long-term behaviorConfirmed
A Criminal Profile system tracks your behavior over time and in context — gratuitous public chaos counts against you differently than mission violence.
One of the Extended Look’s biggest systemic reveals.

Robberies with speed-vs-profit choicesConfirmed

Shown in the Extended Look’s robbery segment.

Six-star Wanted system with hollow starsConfirmed
The Wanted system returns at six stars; hollow stars mean police lack a full ID, and masks, clothing and vehicle changes help you slip away.
Confirmed on-screen in the Extended Look.

Online
Post-launch online mode — rumorRumor
Nothing about a GTA Online successor has been announced. Given GTA Online's revenue history the community expects one eventually, but it is pure speculation today.

Release
A single-player experience at launchConfirmed
Rockstar's own pre-order announcement calls GTA VI "a single player experience" — no multiplayer or GTA Online successor has been announced.
Whatever online plans exist, Rockstar hasn’t shared them. Claims about “GTA Online 2” are rumors.

PC version: not announcedConfirmed
There is no announced PC version, date, or specs. Rockstar has said nothing about PC — every "GTA 6 PC download" is a scam.
Rockstar’s console-to-PC gap has historically run 7–19 months, so press expects an eventual port — but that is speculation, not an announcement.

Preload and physical: November 12Confirmed
Digital preload starts November 12, 2026; the physical edition ships November 12 as a region-locked download code in a box — there is no disc.
From the official pre-order announcement. Full edition details on the release date page.

Release: November 19, 2026 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S)Confirmed
GTA VI launches Thursday, November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — reaffirmed by Take-Two at both 2026 earnings calls.
The date was set on November 6, 2025 and has held through two subsequent Take-Two earnings calls (May and August 2026). Full details on the release date page.

Trailer 3 before launch — rumorRumor
There is no announced Trailer 3. Official videos are Trailer 1, Trailer 2 and An Extended Look. A final pre-launch trailer is plausible but unannounced.

Two editions: Standard $79.99, Ultimate $99.99Confirmed
Exactly two editions exist — Standard ($79.99 / ₹5,999) and Ultimate ($99.99 / ₹7,499). Any "Collector's Edition" listing is a scam.
Ultimate includes the ’95 Grotti Cheetah, themed weapons, the Lake Leonida off-road mod shop and more, threaded through story chapters. Pre-orders before Nov 20 get the Vintage Vice City Pack; digital pre-orders add a free month of GTA+.

30fps at launch; performance mode undecidedConfirmed
GTA VI runs at 30fps at launch on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S per Rockstar North's Rob Nelson; a 60fps mode is undecided — not ruled out, not promised.
Word this precisely: “undecided for now” is the official position.

In-world social media with NPC livestreamsConfirmed
GTA VI has an in-game social platform where NPCs livestream with live comment feeds; Snapmatic returns for your own shots.

Map size: ~2× Los Santos (Vice City) — press estimateReported
Analysis of the Extended Look estimates Vice City at roughly twice GTA V's Los Santos and the full map around three times RDR2's playable area — estimates, not Rockstar statements.
Treat every map-size figure as provisional until Rockstar publishes one.

GTA VI features — FAQ
- How do you decide what counts as "confirmed"?
- Confirmed means it appears in official Rockstar or Take-Two material — trailers, the Extended Look, Newswire posts, the official site, or platform pages like PlayStation's. Credible press with named sourcing is labeled Reported. Everything else is Rumor.
- Why isn't the leaked footage in this tracker?
- We never source from leaks — Take-Two actively enforces against leak distribution, and unverifiable material would poison the tracker's labels. If a leak-only claim later appears in official material, it enters the tracker with the official source.
- Can I use this data in my own project?
- Yes — the tracker is downloadable as JSON at /features.json and licensed CC BY 4.0. Credit gtavi.in with a link.
- How often is the tracker updated?
- Within hours of any official Rockstar announcement, and on a rolling review otherwise. Every entry shows its own last-verified date.
