Release Window
2025–2026
Confidence 82%

Rockstar's official '2025' announcement, since pushed. Trailer II timing and typical Rockstar marketing cycles suggest late 2025 or early 2026.

Evidence: VI Trailer @ 0:04
Launch Price
$79.99 USD
Confidence 68%

CPI inflation from GTA V's $59.99 (2013) projects ~$78–82 in 2025 dollars. PS5/XS standard pricing is already $69–79 across major titles.

Map Size
~150 km² estimated
Confidence 38%

Trailer I shows Miami-scale urban density plus visible Everglades-style wetlands. GTA V was 75 km²; 2× expansion is consistent with the SA → V jump. High uncertainty.

Evidence: VI Trailer @ 0:22
Vehicles at Launch
~1,000 estimated
Confidence 71%

GTA V launched with ~260 vehicles, grew to 737+ via GTA Online DLC. Extrapolating the GTA Online expansion rate and Rockstar's stated ambition yields ~1,000 at or shortly after VI launch.
