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.

27 Oct 2026UnverifiedThe PlayStation Game Size tracker put the PS5 version at 210 GB on 27 October, and press including KitGuru repeated it. Rockstar has not confirmed the figure, and the Xbox page lists no size. We will update this when a store shows one.
15 Oct 2026OfficialRockstar released the Grand Theft Auto VI Launch Trailer on 15 October. It debuts "Flower in a Hurricane" by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Rockstar names Justice as the composers of the game's original score, and the post repeats the date: 19 November on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
13 Oct 2026UnverifiedGamesBeat reported on 13 October, citing four anonymous sources, that Rockstar plans to release GTA VI on PC in the first three months of 2027. Rockstar did not comment and has not announced a PC version. Its game page still lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
08 Oct 2026OfficialRockstar named six in-game radio stations on 8 October: Cocoteo FM, Back Country Radio, AfroBank FM, The Chamber 106.6, Flash FM and Dirty South Classics. It says there are more, from classic rock to talk radio, and that the game adds on-demand podcasts for the first time, playable in cars and on foot through headphones.
Guides
The Leonida map
Rockstar has named six places in Leonida and has published no map on its website, in its trailers or on Only in Leonida. Its Goodtime State Vice City Collection, shipping 19 November without the game, lists a poster with "a full view of the Leonida map" on the back, and nothing from it has been shown publicly that we can find. Our interactive map shows them on our own painted map 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.
