Real info instead of fakes: where Rockstar officially shares GTA VI news
The official GTA VI site, the Rockstar Newswire, Rockstar's social accounts and its newsletter: where verified GTA VI information appears, where the game is officially sold and how to check a claim.
Published Updated
As of October 27, 2026. With Grand Theft Auto VI due on November 19, many reports raise the question of whether they are true. The reliable reference points are the channels Rockstar Games runs itself. This overview shows where official information appears and where the game can officially be bought.
The official sources
rockstargames.com/VI: the game's official site, with the launch date, platforms, editions, trailers, music and the place and character pages under Only in Leonida.
Rockstar Newswire: the studio's news archive. Its GTA VI filter currently shows 13 posts, from Trailer 1 in December 2023 to the Launch Trailer on October 15, 2026. The GTA VI site links straight to it.
Social media: the GTA VI site links to Rockstar's accounts on X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch and Discord.
Newsletter: the GTA VI pages offer sign-up for the Rockstar Propaganda email newsletter, which Rockstar says covers game announcements, special events and offers.
Take-Two Interactive: its quarterly results list GTA VI under Rockstar Games with launch date and platforms, most recently on August 7, 2026. For business figures and date confirmations, that is another official source.
Where GTA VI is officially sold
According to Rockstar's press release for the start of pre-orders on June 24, 2026, GTA VI is available from the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store and the Rockstar Games Store, as well as from retailers and digital storefronts worldwide. Merchandise from the GTA VI Collection is sold through Rockstar's own store, which the official site links to.
Rockstar says the game can be pre-loaded from November 10 (as of Rockstar's Newswire post of November 3), either through a digital pre-order or with the download code from the physical box. Supposed game files from any other source have nothing to do with this official route.
How to check a claim
If a piece of supposed news appears neither on the GTA VI site nor on the Newswire, Rockstar's official accounts or in a Take-Two release, it is not officially confirmed. That also applies to dates, prices or features that only show up in videos, forums or screenshots. Listings on the Sony and Microsoft stores are official retail information, but they do not replace an announcement from Rockstar.
On WANTED SIX, confirmed news is collected in our Official section. Unconfirmed reports are kept separate and labeled in our rumors section.
