And the answers people do not want
💻 Is there a PC version?
Not at launch, and no date has been given. If you play on PC, the honest position is that you are waiting, probably into 2027, and that buying a console for it is a decision to take on its own terms rather than as a stopgap.
🎮 What about PS4 and Xbox One?
No. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. This is the first mainline GTA in thirteen years and it is not coming back to the hardware GTA 5 launched on.
🌐 Will GTA Online be there on day one?
No. Take-Two’s Strauss Zelnick told the 17 September 2026 shareholder meeting that GTA VI launches this November as a single-player title, and that the existing GTA Online keeps being supported after it launches. The only date anyone has put on a GTA 6 multiplayer is Twitch’s CEO, who told Bloomberg at Tokyo Game Show he expects it “next year”, 2027 — a partner’s expectation, not a Rockstar announcement. Plan for a single-player game on 19 November and treat anything online as a later addition.
🛒 When did pre-orders open?
25 June 2026, across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, the Rockstar Games Store and the usual retailers. There is no collector's edition of the game itself: the $399.99 Vice City Collection collector's box is merchandise only (VICE).
🔧 Will there be mods?
Not on console, and Rockstar has now written down what it will and will not tolerate: a mod policy page dated 10 September 2026, as press reports describe it, keeps single-player modding welcome as long as it respects other people's IP and stays away from online services, but forbids mods that change or extend its stories, missions or characters, that mix content from different Rockstar games, that port a game to hardware it was never released on, or that make money outside the Rockstar-licensed Creator Platform — no real-money gambling, loot boxes or crypto anywhere. With no PC version dated, none of this applies to GTA 6 on 19 November; it tells you what a PC version would allow later.
How big is it, really
🗺️ The number Rockstar gave
Rob Nelson, Rockstar's co-head of development, has said Leonida is twice the size of GTA 5's map and three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's. That is the studio's own figure, not a leak.
📍 What is named so far
Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park — the six this guide tracks. More will exist; these are the confirmed ones.
👥 Two protagonists, not three
Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, playable and intertwined. GTA 5 had three; this is a tighter structure built around a pair.
Still to verify
Cross-checked on 10 September 2026 and updated on 22 September 2026 against Rockstar's own announcements and the reporting of PC Gamer, TheSixthAxis, GamenGuide, Bloomberg, TweakTown, MP1st and GTA BOOM, and re-checked on 3 October 2026 against GamingBible and Sportskeeda. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it.
