GTA VI
Feature Tracker

What we know. What fans are asking.
10 questions, with the evidence in view.

ConfirmedWorld

Is GTA VI set in Vice City and Leonida?

Yes. Rockstar names Vice City and the state of Leonida in its official introduction.

Named locations establish the setting. They do not by themselves establish the final map boundary or its measured size.

ConfirmedStory

Is a criminal conspiracy part of the story?

Yes. Rockstar’s synopsis places Jason and Lucia inside a criminal conspiracy after a score goes wrong.

The broad premise is official. Specific twists and the order of scenes proposed by fans remain interpretations.

UnconfirmedNPCs & gameplay

Will every NPC have a persistent daily routine?

We have not verified evidence that every pedestrian has a complete, persistent daily schedule.

The selected discussion weighs detailed routines for some characters against temporary crowds. A lively street does not establish a simulated life for everyone.

UnconfirmedWeather & world

Will hurricanes occur dynamically in free roam?

Recurring free-roam hurricanes are a fan expectation, not a verified feature in the sources reviewed here.

A scripted storm during a mission would be a different claim. Neither that possibility nor a gap in marketing proves a dynamic hurricane system.

UnconfirmedCars & customisation

Will cars have a free-placement livery editor?

The selected discussion does not establish an editor that lets players freely place their own decals.

This is about a specific editing tool, not whether car customisation exists. A decorated vehicle does not demonstrate the controls used to create its appearance.

UnconfirmedMap & world

Is the final map exactly 2.16 times GTA V’s size?

That number comes from a December 2025 fan calculation, not a verified measurement of the finished game.

The author acknowledges uncertainty in both the reconstruction and the image comparison. We retain it as a historical estimate, not a current map specification.

UnconfirmedPC & platforms

Is there a verified GTA VI PC release date?

The current Rockstar platform information reviewed here lists PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, without a PC date.

An absent date is not proof that a PC edition will never happen. Console launch information cannot be used as a PC release schedule.

DebunkedEditions & buying

Does the physical edition include a game disc?

No. The disc-in-box claim is contradicted by Rockstar Support: the physical version contains a download code.

The support page explicitly says a disc is not included. A product described as physical should therefore not be assumed to contain one.
