How this page works
What Rockstar, Take-Two, Sony and Microsoft have announced about GTA 6, as it happens, with a link to the announcement under every item. Each item also points to the page on this site that carries the current answer, because a news item ages and that page does not.
Reports and rumours are here too, marked as reports: a retailer listing, a store database, a press report or a well-known insider, with who says it in the headline and a label that says whether Rockstar has confirmed it. We do not take a report down when it turns out wrong; it gets an update, and the label changes. Every report is also a line in the claims register. Leaked footage and stolen material are never here. The full dated record of official statements is on the official news timeline.
