Rumor watchFully Interactive Car Interiors — Glovebox, Armrest, Seat Adjustment
Unverified editorial rumor. September 2022 leak footage showed a debug menu inside a vehicle with individually adjustable components including armrest, glovebox, mirrors, brake, clutch, steering rake, seat position and sun visor. Multiple outlets including Dot Esports and SlashGear covered the footage in detail. Whether all these options survive into the final game is unconfirmed — the footage came from a test build.

Rumor watchGTA 6 launches with 300+ vehicles
Plausible editorial rumor. Based on the 2022 leak footage and community cataloguing, GTA 6 is expected to ship with 300+ vehicles across cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft and jet skis — including returning classics like the Grotti Cheetah Classic (80s Testarossa), Pfister Comet (Porsche 911), and Bravado Banshee (Dodge Viper). Aircraft are reportedly fully flyable. Rockstar has not released an official vehicle list.

Rumor watchGTA 6 features full underwater zones with diving missions
Unverified editorial rumor. 2022 leak footage and follow-up reporting describe full-fledged underwater zones with caches, sunken objects, and exploration mechanics — a major expansion over GTA V's mostly-decorative sea floor. One leaked heist reportedly involves stolen drugs falling into the ocean, forcing the player to recover them through diving missions.

Rumor watchWanted level expands to six stars with tactical police response
Unverified editorial rumor. Leaks indicate GTA 6 will expand the wanted system to six stars, with the top tier triggering a full tactical operation — special forces, drones, cross-unit coordination — rather than GTA V's military response. Police also conduct investigations and cordon off crime scenes at lower stars. Not to be confused with the long-running GTA V "hidden sixth star" myth.

Rumor watchGTA 6 Online supports 32-player lobbies
Plausible editorial rumor. UK employment tribunal filings (Glasgow) from a wrongful-dismissal case brought by ex-Rockstar Edinburgh staff reference GTA 6 Online's 32-player lobbies. Rockstar's own filing called the figure "highly confidential" — effectively confirming the number while trying to suppress it. Chris Bratt (People Make Games) first accessed the hard-copy documents.

Rumor watchGTA 6 Online launches December 2026
Plausible editorial rumor. Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope, citing a single source, says GTA 6 Online will go live within a month of the base game — targeting December 2026 for the holiday window. TheGhostOfHope has a strong Activision track record but is outside his usual beat here. Rockstar has confirmed an online mode but not the launch date.

Rumor watchPost-launch map expansions arrive as islands and instanced cities
Unverified editorial rumor. In the same Tez2 GTAForums post, the leaker suggests new map content may arrive as islands or instanced cities in the Cayo Perico / North Yankton style, with "fully-fledged" cities potentially added later. Tied to the episodic DLC plan.

Rumor watchRockstar is building a GTA 6 companion mobile app
Unverified editorial rumor. A Rockstar North job listing for a Mobile Engineer with iOS/Android experience sparked speculation that Rockstar is building a companion app for GTA 6 — possibly a successor to the GTA V-era iFruit app. Fans speculate features like live in-game maps, NPC texts/calls to real phones, property management, and progression tracking.
