How we confirm
- Confirmed means Rockstar, Take-Two or an official PlayStation or Xbox store listing states it.
- Reported by an outlet means a major outlet (such as Kotaku, TechRadar, GamesRadar, VGC or Variety) reported it from a preview, an interview or official footage, but Rockstar has not said it on its own pages.
- We never use leaks, fan theories or anything derived from them. Every source is listed at the bottom of the page.
