Twelve questions, and one thing to tell apart: what Rockstar Games has actually published from what the web has inferred. It is the line almost every page about Grand Theft Auto VI gets wrong, and it is harder to hold than it looks.
Every answer comes with its explanation and its source. If you get the map size or the radio station count wrong, you will have plenty of company: those are precisely the two points the studio has never said anything about, and where the most figures circulate.
Pick one answer per question. The explanation appears straight away.
Not quite · Why
No map area has ever been released, not in square kilometres, not as a comparison to Grand Theft Auto V. Every figure in circulation is an estimate fans calculated from trailer footage. It is the most searched question on the subject, and the one the web gets wrong most often.
Not quite · Why
Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, presented as a couple on the game's official page. Lucia is the first playable female protagonist in a numbered Grand Theft Auto. No third playable character has been announced.
Not quite · Why
Rockstar Games has confirmed two platforms and only two: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced, no date and no statement of intent. The studio shipped PC versions of its previous games after the consoles, but a precedent is not an announcement.
Not quite · Why
Not at launch. It is one of the points explicitly stated at the gameplay presentation at Rockstar Games' offices, relayed by the press in attendance. The studio did not say whether the mode would arrive later. Cinematic mode and Photo mode are confirmed, however.
Not quite · Why
Stealing is no longer enough. According to the press presentation, a stolen vehicle has to be registered for a fee to become a personal vehicle, and the Waink app shows that cost before you even break the lock. It is one of the most concrete changes from GTA 5.
Not quite · Why
A crime is only reported if there is a witness or a camera, per reports from the presentation. The police then identify the player by clothing, accessories, vehicle, weapon and the number of people present. Changing outfit after a job therefore becomes an action in itself.
Not quite · Why
Six: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Only one of them has had its districts named, Vice City, with Ocean Beach, Downtown and Little Havana. Nothing indicates the list is complete.
Not quite · Why
No station line-up, no soundtrack and no confirmed track has been published. What is established is a Streamer mode filtering copyright-protected music, which implies a licensed soundtrack without saying what is on it.
Not quite · Why
Journalists at the demonstration report that breaking up is not possible: the relationship is maintained through texts and shared activities, but it is attached to the narrative. Rockstar Games has published no statement on this point.
Not quite · Why
The six stars are back, per the presentation at Rockstar Games' offices. What is new: the police do not appear on the minimap during a wanted level, and investigators are sent to the scene of the crime.
Not quite · Why
19 November 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is the third date announced: the window aimed at autumn 2025, then 26 May 2026. In early August 2026, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed the current date and said no further delay was planned.
Not quite · Why
No vehicle count has ever been released, any more than a count of enterable locations or missions. What is described is how they work: theft difficulty varies by model, the Waink app gives the resale price and registration cost, and some parked cars need tools to open.
Not quite · Why
Brian Heder, a veteran Keys drug runner. The game's official page is very precise about the arrangement: Brian lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties, so long as he helps with local shakedowns and stops by for Lori's sangria once in a while, Lori being his third wife. It is the only employment relationship Rockstar Games describes explicitly for a protagonist.
Not quite · Why
Nothing: no date, no name, no player count, no business model. Both trailers, the product page and the Extended Look never once mention an online mode. The player-count figures in circulation come from internal documents made public in court or from the 2022 leaks, which this site does not publish.
Because the most useful question about Grand Theft Auto VI is not "what do we know", it is "how do we know what we think we know". A figure repeated on ten sites is still an invented figure if none of the ten traces back to a Rockstar Games publication.
All twelve answers above come from a named source: the game's official page, a trailer, Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, or the press presentation held at the studio's offices in late August 2026, which is second-hand and flagged as such every time. Where the accurate answer was "Rockstar Games has published nothing", that is the answer given.
The game ships on 19 November 2026. Between now and then, half of what you read elsewhere will be inference presented as fact. Telling which is a skill you can practise.
