Since Netflix’s prolonged have a look at Grand Theft Auto 6 debuted again in August, we have heard pretty little from Rockstar Video games about 2026’s most anticipated online game. That each one modified on Sept. 29, when Sport Informer shared its 14-page deep dive into GTA 6. Highlights of the article included contemporary particulars concerning the recreation’s dynamic climate system, the intricacy of its NPCs, and 6 distinctive areas of the world map.
Whereas there may be absolutely extra data to come back in weeks heading as much as the Nov. 19 launch, there are many large questions on GTA 6 that we nonetheless don’t have any concrete solutions for. Listed below are a number of that stand out.
1
When will GTA 6 opinions come out?
Forgive the within baseball right here, however actually each video games journalist on earth proper now’s questioning if and when Rockstar will share superior overview copies of GTA 6. Generally, for very lengthy video games, publishers will share copies a month or extra upfront. Often, publishers will ship out code on Friday night for a Monday morning embargo. There is no a method of doing it. And Rockstar is an uncommon firm, and GTA 6 is an uncommon recreation, so even these nebulous guidelines could not essentially apply.
What’s extra, Rockstar has been unusually secretive and selective in its advertising and marketing marketing campaign, granting preview entry to traditional gaming retailers (IGN, Sport Informer) and extra mainstream or area of interest retailers (The New York Instances, Dazed) in equal measure. The studio additionally shared preview footage with various YouTube and Twitch content material creators forward of the Netflix showcase in August.
A lot of attainable situations might unfold right here: Rockstar could supply quite a few retailers overview entry weeks upfront, as a result of it’s so assured within the high quality of the sport. It might give just one or two retailers early copies of the sport, so as to forestall potential leaks. (In spite of everything, the corporate could conclude there’s little profit to opinions if the sport goes to promote tens of thousands and thousands of copies anyway.) At this level, it is nonetheless anybody’s guess. However usually, recreation opinions come out someplace between every week or a number of days earlier than a recreation’s launch date, like on a Tuesday for a Friday launch. In any case, we’ll discover out quickly sufficient!

Will GTA 6 have a number of endings?
Each Purple Lifeless Redemption 2 and GTA 5 featured a number of endings. Whereas GTA 5‘s endings included variations on who lives and dies, Purple Lifeless 2‘s have been extra nuanced relying on Arthur’s honor stage. The Sept. 29 Sport Informer preview famous that GTA 6 has been designed to “encourage a number of playthroughs,” however Rockstar devs declined to enter specifics. Nevertheless, co-studio head Aaron Garbut instructed the outlet, “Usually you compromise scale for element or element for interplay, however with this challenge we went the opposite means — all the pieces is dialed up — element, scope, breadth, scale, interplay, and density. I do not suppose we have now ever created something near this earlier than.”

Will there be looking in GTA 6?
The Sport Informer preview additionally included a bulleted listing of a number of the confirmed actions within the recreation, together with kayaking, mini golf, scuba diving, and jet snowboarding. Looking was conspicuously absent from that listing, regardless of the preview together with a picture of Jason outfitted with what seems to be a looking rifle whereas approaching a pair of grazing deer. The preview additionally talked about that GTA 6 will embrace greater than 170 distinctive species of animals, a few of whom may have distinctive bodily traits like matted fur or bioluminescent pores and skin. Whereas we might be very stunned if looking wasn’t included in GTA 6, it might be nice if the wildlife facet of the sport included extra choices than merely killing all these majestic creatures.

What sort of customization can we count on with GTA 6?
We have seen glimpses of Jason’s home and Lucia’s house in official footage of GTA 6, and we discovered from previews that gamers will not be capable of buy extra homes. (In accordance with Rockstar, it would not make sense for a pair on the run to be continually increasing their actual property portfolio, which is sensible.) Nonetheless, there’s a lot that might occur when it comes to customization of each these areas, particularly Jason’s home, which seems to be in numerous levels of development through the first two trailers.
We additionally know that you’ll alter Jason and Lucia’s look by means of understanding, sleeping, and weight loss plan selections. It isn’t clear if you’ll take this to extremes, or whether or not the modifications might be comparatively delicate, like with Arthur Morgan in Purple Lifeless Redemption 2.
5
How a lot cupboard space will we want for GTA 6?
With Rockstar going digital-only for the discharge of GTA 6, it is truthful to imagine that PlayStation and Xbox homeowners might want to clear a good bit of cupboard space on their consoles’ onerous drives forward of the Nov. 19 launch. A number of PS5 video games clock in at greater than 100GB of area, together with Gran Turismo 7 at 197 GB, Mortal Kombat 1 at 177 GB, and Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth at 150 GB. Given the flashy visuals and expansive map we’re anticipating to see in GTA 6, we would not be stunned to see the sport strategy — and even clear — the 200 GB mark.

When is the PC model of GTA 6 popping out?
At current, Rockstar Video games has solely introduced that GTA 6 will launch for PS5 and Xbox Sequence X. A PC launch appears inevitable, however the developer’s previous observe file for ports suggests PC avid gamers are in for a big wait. Purple Lifeless 2 got here to PC somewhat greater than a 12 months after it launched on PS4 and Xbox One. In the meantime, GTA 5 got here to PC about 19 months after the console launch. Whereas it could possibly be as quickly as late 2027, we might count on it is extra seemingly we’ll see GTA 6 on PC in early 2028.

What’s taking place with Grand Theft Auto On-line?
Again in June, when Rockstar revealed pricing and preorder particulars for the upcoming recreation, the corporate emphasised that the sport is a “single-player expertise.” Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped folks from speculating about whether or not Rockstar’s engaged on an all-new on-line recreation to launch someday after GTA 6, or whether or not the prevailing GTA On-line will broaden to include components of the most recent recreation, together with places and occasions impressed by the sport. In accordance with a Sept. 17 interview with Bloomberg, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy stated the net multiplayer componeny of GTA 6 might be launched in 2027.
“We spent loads of time speaking with Rockstar about their plans, and in addition serving to them take into consideration how they will have interaction our creators,” Clancy instructed Bloomberg. “You will see this large bump with GTA 6, however then a good greater one subsequent 12 months once they launch multiplayer.”
Rockstar has not confirmed or denied Clancy’s assertion, and presumably will not reveal something a couple of new Grand Theft Auto On-line till it is good and prepared. We all know from monetary leaks earlier this 12 months that GTAO continues to be a large money-maker for Rockstar and mother or father firm Take-Two Interactive, so we count on they’re going to need to maintain that cash-machine buzzing. We have unpacked what the way forward for GTAO might appear to be right here:

Who’s within the GTA 6 forged?
Although we have seen almost half an hour of official footage of Jason and Lucia’s adventures in automobile theft and sharpshooting, we nonetheless do not know the names of the actors taking part in both of them. Rockstar hasn’t launched any details about the sport’s essential or supporting forged. However Stephen Root, a freshly anointed Emmy winner for Widow’s Bay, identified for his earlier roles in King of the Hill and Workplace House, not too long ago confirmed to the Related Press that he’ll be taking part in Brian Heder in GTA 6, a gruff mentor determine who doles out assignments to Jason and Lucia.
In previous GTA installments, Rockstar appeared to well-known film and TV actors to fill out the forged. 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice Metropolis included various large names, together with Ray Liotta, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Hopper, Danny Trejo, Debbie Harry, and Jenna Jameson. In 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas starred Ice-T, Samuel L. Jackson, James Woods, Charlie Murphy, and David Cross, amongst many others. A longstanding (however unconfirmed) rumor claims that Liotta may need reprised his position because the Hawaiian shirt-loving protagonist Tommy Vercetti in San Andreas, however he requested for more cash than Rockstar was keen to pay.
Provided that the forged hasn’t leaked but, it is secure to imagine that GTA 6 will maintain with the custom Rockstar established with GTA 5 and Purple Lifeless Redemption 2: an ensemble of much less broadly identified, but very completed voice actors. (Belief me, if Tom Holland was taking part in Jason, we might have identified 5 years in the past.)

Can Jason and Lucia have intercourse?
Whereas we noticed clear proof that Jason and Lucia have been shacking up within the Netflix reveal — early on, Jason helps himself to a soda in an house with flamingo-print wallpaper and pink fairy lights that I think is Lucia’s home, not his — we didn’t discover out whether or not you may get to go all “Sizzling Espresso” with our main couple. Whereas your in-game romance would require upkeep and good habits on either side, Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson stated you may maintain Jason and Lucia’s relationship strictly platonic.
“I’ve to say it feels nice — if you’re into it as an idea. Don’t hassle with it in the event you aren’t. As much as you,” Nelson instructed IGN. “The narrative is structured in such a means that the circumstances they discover themselves in require them to remain collectively for many of the story and work collectively. On the very least they’ll get by means of most issues as companions in crime.”
Whereas we nonetheless do not know if GTA 6 will allow you to have interaction in conjugal bliss, we all know from earlier leaks that the sport will include strip golf equipment and a nudist colony, and all physique varieties are represented in vivid element. Sure, there may be full frontal in GTA 6, although we could not have seen it on Netflix.

Can you retain a gator as a pet in GTA 6?
The frankly underwhelming cowl artwork for GTA 6 prominently incorporates a smiling, toothsome gator, who followers have affectionately dubbed “Auto.” Although the Netflix reveal featured a short and engaging fan-boat sequence, there have been appallingly few Gator Moments through the broadcast. We have seen gators in earlier trailers, and we noticed a cute pitbull within the newest footage. If I’ve to work out and preserve wholesome sleep hygiene on this recreation, you need to let me maintain a harmful, truck-sized reptile as a pet. Individuals do that in Florida on a regular basis!

Grand Theft Auto 6 might be launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Sequence X on Nov. 19.
