Outlets have linked the radio hosts to real artists. That is outlet identification; Rockstar names only the personas.

Claims of an online mode at launch, a "GTA Online 2", or a separate online release 1 to 2 years later are UNCONFIRMED. Only "a single player experience" is official.

UNCONFIRMED either way. A preview creator reported Rob Nelson said it "hasn't been implemented yet". Headlines saying "Rockstar confirms" overstate it.

Every GTA VI cheat list online is fabricated until launch. No codes are confirmed.

A car-theft scanner, a $20,000 cash cap and NPC awareness come from reporter impressions or unofficial pages. The cash cap has no Rockstar citation.

A single outlet reported new Rockstar modding rules for GTA VI in Sep 2026. No policy document has been found.

Forecasts of 45 million or more day-one sales are analyst predictions, not company figures.

"3x Red Dead 2" and "Vice City is 2x Los Santos" are secondhand, from a YouTuber's account of what Rockstar told preview attendees. The Vice City figure is unattributed.

Liberty City or Los Santos as playable areas is UNCONFIRMED fan speculation. Liberty City appears only in Lucia's backstory.

Estimates of 150 to 300 GB or "just under 200 GB" are UNCONFIRMED; the 676.7 GB figure came from a parody account. No official size is published.

GamesBeat reported on Oct 13 2026, citing four unnamed industry sources, that the PC version is planned for the first three months of 2027. Rockstar did not comment. This is UNCONFIRMED: no PC version is announced.

A 4chan rumor of a slip to Feb 2027 is refuted to date. Take-Two reaffirmed Nov 19 on May 21, Aug 7 and Sep 17 2026.

A report of exclusive Xbox cloud-streaming rights was denied by an Xbox executive on X on Oct 7 2026, per outlet reports. We have not seen the post.
