OUR REVIEW STANDARD

Evidence has limits. We show them.

Confirmed

A publisher or platform explicitly states the specific detail. A scheduled date remains a schedule, not a guarantee.

Shown in official media

An official image or video shows something. That alone does not establish a playable feature, performance target, or final game behavior.

Not confirmed in reviewed sources

The linked sources do not establish the claim. This is a scoped review, not proof that something is false or will never happen.

We check primary sources and record where each detail appears. This is an editorial library, not a live feed or an automated truth detector. Dates reflect actual source reviews. Claims can change as new information is published.

Research and implementation are AI-assisted; the linked evidence and the limits of each conclusion are available for readers to inspect. No hands-on access to GTA VI is claimed. Games In The World is independent of Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive.
