Common GTA 6 Myths That Just Aren't True

Misinformation travels faster than corrections, and few games have generated as much confident-sounding wrongness as GTA 6. Most of it isn’t malicious. It’s just claims that got repeated enough times to feel true, or older news that never got updated once the situation changed. Here’s a rundown of the ones we see most often, and what’s accurate as of now.

The most persistent one is that GTA 6 “costs $100.” It doesn’t, at least not as a flat price. The base game, the Standard Edition, is $79.99, in line with where most big-budget games have already settled. The $99.99 figure people round up to “$100” belongs to the Ultimate Edition, a separate, optional tier that includes extra content on top of the full game, not a price increase on the game itself. Conflating the two makes the pricing sound more aggressive than it is.

Another one that refuses to die is that GTA 6 has been delayed again, or is about to be. As of the most recent statements from Take-Two’s own leadership, November 19, 2026 is the confirmed date, and it’s been publicly reaffirmed more than once specifically to push back against this exact rumor. The game has been delayed twice in its history, which is exactly why this particular myth keeps resurfacing. People assume a pattern will continue rather than checking whether it already has.

A lot of players also assume GTA 6 will run at 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, because that’s become the expected standard for big current-generation releases. It won’t, at least not at launch. Rockstar has directly confirmed a 30fps target across every console version, PS5 Pro included, with no performance mode currently promised. It’s one of the few areas where GTA 6 is deliberately not following the pattern most other AAA console games have set.

There’s also a persistent belief that a PC version is coming alongside the console release, or at least shortly after. Neither is true. Rockstar hasn’t announced a PC release at all, and based on how long PC ports have taken for every recent Rockstar game, anywhere from seven months to over a year and a half after console launch, a same-day or even same-year PC release would be out of character for the studio.

On a lighter note, the “can I play GTA 6 on my [absurd device]” trend that spread across TikTok is a joke, not a real feature question, but it’s worth saying plainly for anyone who stumbled onto it seriously: there is no mobile version of GTA 6, and Rockstar hasn’t suggested one is coming. The meme borrows the game’s hype to make fun of unrelated tech, nothing more.

Finally, some of the footage still circulating from the 2022 leak gets mistaken for a preview of the finished game. It isn’t. That footage showed early, unfinished, work-in-progress builds from years before release: placeholder animations, incomplete environments, systems that were still being tested. Judging GTA 6’s final quality off leaked footage that old is a bit like judging a finished house off photos of its foundation being poured.
