What the labels mean
Most of what circulates as GTA 6 news is a guess repeated until it sounds like a fact. Every article here carries one of four labels, and each label is a promise about where the article's claims came from.
Official

Analysis
Our reading of the official record: what a statement implies, what history suggests. Sourced facts, our conclusions, and the line between them stated.
Guides
Round-ups and explainers built only from confirmed material, checked on the date they carry and updated when it changes.
Rumors
Claims Rockstar has not confirmed, covered because people are asking about them — with where they came from and how much weight they can bear.
