GTA 6 pre-load
GTA VI · 19 November 2026
An independent GTA 6 reference. Cheat codes go up only once we have entered them on a retail copy. Until then: launch times, pre-load, editions and sourced news, each one dated and linked to its source.
Cheats
A cheat appears here once we've entered it ourselves, per platform, with trophy impact noted. Until 19 November, every "leaked GTA 6 cheat code" list online is invented. The trophy list and the 100 percent checklist fill the same way.
Reported codes are held until we've entered them on a retail build. PS5 codes
Same rule. Each entry logs who entered it, when, and whether it blocks achievements. Xbox codes
Rockstar has only named PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. We'll open a PC page the day that changes.

GTA 6 file sizeNews
25 Sep 2026OfficialGame Informer's issue 382 is readable digitally from 29 September, with a 14 page Grand Theft Auto VI cover story built on interviews with Rockstar's lead designers. It carries 12 screenshots not seen before, covering the weather, the wildlife and how Rockstar researched Florida.
24 Sep 2026OfficialRockstar opened pre-orders on 24 September for The Goodtime State: Vice City Collection, a 349.99 pound box of merchandise that ships on 19 November. It does not include the game. One of its eleven items is a souvenir poster with a map of Leonida on the back, the only official map so far.
21 Sep 2026OfficialRockstar lists the Vintage Vice City Pack as a bonus with both editions, plus one month of GTA+ with digital pre-orders. Deadlines differ slightly between stores, so check the wording on yours. GTA+ is a membership for GTA Online in Grand Theft Auto V, not a mode in VI.
21 Sep 2026OfficialRockstar's pre-order announcement describes Grand Theft Auto VI as a single player experience on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No online mode for VI has been announced, so there is no crossplay to speak of yet.
Guides
The Leonida map
Rockstar has named six places in Leonida. Its only map so far is printed on a souvenir poster in a merchandise box, not shown in the game. Our interactive map shows them on our own sketch of Leonida for now and switches to the in-game map at launch, with collectibles pinned only once we have found them ourselves. Meanwhile, read what Rockstar has said about each place and how big the map is said to be.
Most Wanted
GTA 6 launches on console only, so mods wait for a PC version that has not been announced. These are the six we would ask for first. Will GTA 6 have mods?
RequestedThe mod that turned GTA V into a second career. Requested for Leonida with county sheriffs, Keys highway patrol and a proper dispatch loop from the first build, not bolted on later.
RequestedNothing else ships until this does. The request covers VI's natives and whatever the engine changes break.
RequestedSpawn anything, teleport anywhere, freeze the wanted level. Nothing can be built until a script hook exists.
RequestedWeight, tyre grip and crumple that punish a bad line. The request needs VI's deformation exposed first.
RequestedThe perennial. A Liberty City you can fly to from Vice City has been asked for after every game since IV.
RequestedStorm fronts off the Keys, wet asphalt on Ocean Drive. Asked for as a weather and lighting pass, nothing more.
