News from the coast

Each card says where it comes from and whether it is official or a rumour.

  1. A boxed PS5 copy turns up early

    On 7 November, Kotaku reported on a photo of a sealed PS5 copy of GTA VI, posted by someone said to work at a German retailer. The post and the account were deleted soon after. The box matches what Rockstar announced: it holds a download code instead of a disc, so installing needs an internet connection. An early box does not mean early play. The game unlocks on 19 November, and boxed copies reach stores on 12 November.

  2. Rockstar shares a launch gallery

    Two weeks before release, Rockstar published 39 new screenshots, all without captions. They show Jason and Lucia, nightlife, chases, diving and wildlife. Below are six of the places, picked so they give nothing away. The other 33, including all the pictures of Jason, Lucia and new faces, are on Rockstar's site; some of those may hint at story scenes.

  3. A free printable map of Leonida at launch

    From 19 November, Rockstar offers a printable map of Leonida and a poster of the cover art for free on its website. A double-sided printed version follows in the Rockstar Store shortly after launch, for $0.99 or free with any purchase there. It is separate from the souvenir map in the collector's box.
