Rob Nelson says NPCs in GTA 6 will react more naturally to how Lucia and Jason carry firearms, ending the 'pull a shotgun from thin air' trick that defined GTA 5.

PlayStation has unveiled two limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers themed around Grand Theft Auto VI, launching on November 19 alongside the game for $84.99 with pre-orders opening September 10 at 10:00am local time through direct.playstation.com.

Chris Roberts confirms in a new Letter From The Chairman that Squadron 42 will not ship in 2026 as previously promised, with Cloud Imperium Games now targeting Q2 2027 and warning that GTA 6’s media wave will dominate November.

Rockstar Games is rolling out the next official look at Grand Theft Auto VI today, August 27, with an Extended Look premiere on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET ahead of the YouTube debut at 9 p.m. ET. The news drops alongside a Dazed cover feature that confirms seamless Jason–Lucia character switching, new food and weight systems, and the studio’s doubled-up headcount ahead of the November 19 launch.

Rockstar Games has confirmed that its employee count has roughly doubled since the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, with a Los Angeles office now almost entirely dedicated to building GTA 6 NPCs. The studio has also hired stylists, racecar drivers and 50 real street artists as full-time staff to make Vice City feel authentic.

Rockstar Games has issued its first public statement on the GTA 6 leak saga, apologising for the long wait, warning that spoilers may now be out in the wild, and asking the community to experience the game for themselves on November 19.

Newzoo now expects the global games market to reach $213.9 billion in 2026, up 6.1% year on year, with the firm pointing to GTA 6's November launch as the main driver of a projected 17.5% jump in full-game spending.

The website and Telegram channel tied to the anonymous leaker known as Cyberleek have gone offline, days after Take-Two filed subpoenas targeting Microsoft and Discord for any data that could identify the person behind the campaign.

Take-Two Interactive has filed formal DMCA subpoenas demanding Microsoft and Discord hand over user data tied to the “cyberleek” persona behind the GTA 6 leaks, with both companies given until September 4 to comply. The legal filings mark the publisher’s first concrete courtroom step in the search for whoever is leaking Vice City footage.

The US Army's 3rd Infantry Division has officially confirmed that soldiers who reenlist for at least two years between August 1 and November 14, 2026 will receive a four-day pass timed to the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, with the unit's career counselor reporting 20 soldiers have already taken the offer.

Leaked GTA 6 clips show new gameplay details, including a basketball Focus system, stamina, refueling prompts, a six-star wanted level, and a full Leonida map, while Take-Two responds with DMCA notices.

Rockstar Games will give Netflix subscribers a six-hour head start on GTA 6’s next major showcase. Putting a game trailer behind a temporary subscription wall has sparked criticism, but the unusual move also shows just how far Grand Theft Auto has grown beyond traditional gaming marketing.
