Leak & Rumor Ledger
Every claim, stamped. Claims graduate or die in public — a graded claim is never quietly deleted.
-
CONFIRMED
Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, November 19, 2026.
Stated by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive and live on both console stores, with pre-loads open since Nov 10.
-
CONFIRMED
Launch platforms are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced.
Rockstar's official game page and its October 15, 2026 Newswire post name the two console families and nothing else.
-
CONFIRMED
The US price is $79.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition.
On the PlayStation Store listing and in Take-Two's June 24, 2026 pre-order announcement. The year of $100-base-price predictions ended at $79.99.
-
CONFIRMED
The game is set in the state of Leonida and stars Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval.
Shown and named across Trailers 1 and 2 and the official game page: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, wetlands and inland towns.
-
REPORTED
The pre-load needs roughly 212 GB of free space.
Reported from Rockstar's November 3, 2026 pre-load note by Game Informer and the gaming press; Rockstar has not put the figure on the game page itself.
-
RUMOR
Leonida's map is roughly twice the size of GTA V's map.
Fan mapping projects built from the September 2022 leaked footage estimate about double the land area. Plausible, widely repeated — and never confirmed by Rockstar, which has published no map size.
-
DEBUNKED
“GTA VI is delayed to 2027.”
The rumor's own test failed: it said Take-Two's earnings calls would quietly let the date slip. Instead, CEO Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed November 19, 2026, the date stands on both console stores, and pre-loads are live. A game does not pre-load a year early.
-
DEBUNKED
“The standard edition will cost $100.”
Analyst forecasts through 2025 (Matthew Ball's State of Video Gaming 2025; Wedbush's Michael Pachter) put the base price at $80–$100. The official US standard price is $79.99 — $99.99 is the Ultimate Edition.
