Frequently asked questions

How often is GTA 6 news updated here?

Every time something verifiable happens. Each post shows the day the event happened and the day we posted it, carries a status tag, and links to Rockstar, Take-Two or the outlet that broke it. Corrections are logged at the bottom of each post.

What is the difference between official, reported and rumor?

Official means Rockstar, Take-Two, Sony or Microsoft said it. Reported means a credible outlet published it and Rockstar has not confirmed it. Rumor means an insider, leaker or fan analysis; we cover those only when they spread widely enough to need context.

Can I see only one kind of GTA 6 news?

Yes. Use the topic chips above the list (release and buying, trailers and previews, online, platforms, music, cast, business, leaks) or the status chips (official, reported, rumor). You can combine them.

Do you post leaked footage?

No. We describe leak events and link to press coverage, but we never host or link to leaked video, screenshots or map images. Our leaks page explains why.

Is there an RSS feed?

Yes, two. gta6.how/news/rss.xml carries news posts only, and gta6.how/rss.xml adds every new guide.
