The wording is intentionally narrower than a confirmed announcement: a source, screenshot or community reading can explain why a rumor exists without proving the final game will include it.
How to read the status
The record stays open. Look for a direct publisher statement or a stronger primary source before treating it as part of GTA 6’s confirmed feature, story or release information.
