THE METHOD
What’s confirmed,
and how we check it.
GTA VI comes out on November 19, 2026. Until then, one rule: what Rockstar has published is written up as such, and the rest waits for the game. Here’s what’s official today, what isn’t yet, and how the pages show it.

What Rockstar hasn’t said yet
The questions we get asked the most, with no official answer as of October 20, 2026.
- ?
Not announced yet
A PC version
No announcement, no date. For GTA V, the PC version came out a year and a half after the console versions.
- ?
Not announced yet
The unlock time
Rockstar hasn’t announced it. The French PlayStation Store lists the release on November 18, 2026 at 11 p.m. UTC, which is midnight in Paris: check the time on your store just before release.

Not announced yet
The game’s file size
Not announced. It will be known at the latest when preloading opens, on November 12, 2026.
- ?
Not announced yet
GTA Online for GTA VI
Nothing announced, not even a date: the game is presented as a single-player experience.
- ?
Not announced yet
In-game prices
No vehicle, weapon, housing or clothing prices have been published for GTA VI. The ones on the site are GTA V and GTA Online benchmarks, always flagged as such.
- ?
Not announced yet
The map’s area
No official figure. On August 27, 2026, two comparisons were reported: about twice the size of GTA V’s map, according to Rob Nelson as quoted by content creator TGG, and three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2, according to the studio as quoted by The New York Times.

On the pages
What the pages need from the game
Each vehicle or weapon page says what’s already known, then what’s still to be measured. Here’s why these fields are waiting for November 19, explained once here rather than on every page.
- How to get it
- Price, purchase, how to get it and location. None has been published. The dealerships, gun stores and shops on our map are places spotted in official media, not confirmed places to buy a specific model.
- Performance and firing
- Speed, acceleration, braking, handling; for weapons, range, fire rate, accuracy, reload and magazine. No measurement exists before the game, and an “estimated” range on a weapon page comes from the real weapon that inspired it.
- Capabilities
- Seats and cargo are waiting for the game. When a page shows a terrain (road, water, air), it comes from the vehicle’s category, not from a spec sheet.
- Customization
- The options on each page come from the customization catalog: what Rockstar has shown for GTA VI, and GTA V and GTA Online benchmarks flagged as such.
Running costs, item by item
Fuel exists: Rob Nelson of Rockstar North showed it to the content creators invited to the studio, according to their reports of August 27, 2026. But no price or fuel consumption has been published, and nothing has been announced for the other costs. The calculator can simulate them if you pick an assumption.
Fuel
Rob Nelson showed refuelling to the creators invited to the studio (reports of 27 August 2026): no price, fuel consumption or running cost has been published.
???

Maintenance
No vehicle maintenance cost has been announced for GTA VI.
???
To be confirmed
Repairs
Paid repairs in GTA V prove nothing for GTA VI.
???
To be confirmed
Insurance
No vehicle insurance has been announced for GTA VI.
???
To be confirmed
Resale
A resale only counts if it’s possible and its price is known or chosen as an assumption. It never lowers the money you pay today.
???
To be confirmed
Ammo used
Ammo prices and the amount fired per mission aren’t published.
???
To be confirmed
Healing per consumable
Rob Nelson told Famitsu (28 August 2026) that food affects the gauges, but gave no numbers: putting a number on healing takes a known amount and a known reference.
???
To be confirmed
Business income
No business income, stock or production cap has been published for GTA VI.
???
To be confirmed
Mission failure
No success rate can be backed up: we compare scenarios (everything succeeds, one failed attempt…) instead of making up a rate.
???
To be confirmed
Temporary bonus
A bonus only counts if its conditions and duration are known or chosen as an assumption.
???
To be confirmed
Fines
No fine and no fine amount has been published for GTA VI: a fine counted in the calculator is an assumption you choose.
???
To be confirmed
Money lost on death
Rockstar hasn’t said whether you lose money when your character dies, or how much. What the earlier GTA games did proves nothing for GTA VI.
???
To be confirmed
Money lost on arrest
Rockstar hasn’t said whether an arrest costs money, or how much. What the earlier GTA games did proves nothing for GTA VI.

To be confirmed
Count these costs in the calculator
As soon as a value is published or measured in-game, it shows up on the page with its source and its date.
Matches
Real-world models and provisional names
What you read on a page when Rockstar hasn’t said anything.
Inspired by real models, never licensed
Rockstar doesn’t reproduce any real-world model under license: its vehicles and weapons are inspired by real ones, and the studio doesn’t say which. When a page names a real-world model, it’s the site’s own observation.
Matches, not announcements
Our descriptive names and the real-world inspirations are matches made from the official images, not information shared by Rockstar.
A provisional name in the meantime
A vehicle or weapon model seen in official media keeps a provisional name, taken from the series or from its real-world model, until Rockstar names it.
Official
A page, text or video published by Rockstar on its own channels (GTA VI site, Newswire, trailers, Extended Look), or by Take-Two, Sony or Microsoft, written the way they said it, with the date.
Seen in media
What an official image or clip shows without any Rockstar text saying it (a trailer shot, a screenshot, a moment from the Extended Look, with the timestamp when known), or what a named outlet reports, including statements by a Rockstar representative, with the outlet and the date.
Community identification
A match made by players, a wiki or a fan site (real place, actor, county). Quoted as such, never presented as confirmed.
To be confirmed
A question with no published answer: price, purchase, access, role in the story. We write it down instead of guessing.
Four pages, four ways of saying it
Open a page: its status is written at the top, and every box waiting for the game says so.
What we refuse
What we never use
What the site never does, no exceptions.
- The 2022 and 2026 leaks, even when everyone’s talking about them.
- A “likely” price or effect with no source.
- An image that isn’t official.
- Compatibility guessed from a silhouette.
Your turn
Found an error, or info from the game?
Report it with the page and a source: it gets fixed as soon as a source allows.
From November 19, 2026, in-game findings are welcome: a price, a location, a stat, with a screenshot or a video. They’re added to the pages once checked, with their date.
