What nobody has said
| Question | Status |
|---|---|
| Will GTA VI get an online mode, and when | Not announced |
| Whether GTA Online (GTA V) keeps getting content after 19 November | Not announced; updates were still being published in September |
| Whether GTA+ benefits will apply to GTA VI beyond the pre-order month | Not announced |
| Whether GTA VI will have microtransactions | Not announced by Rockstar; the Zelnick line above is reported, not on a first-party page |
| A name, trailer or date for any GTA VI online mode, including "GTA Online 2" | Not announced. The name is a fan and press label. |
A digital pre-order includes a month of GTA+, per Rockstar's post. GTA+ is Rockstar's subscription for GTA Online (GTA V), whose member perks the Newswire posts each week, so it is not an announcement about a GTA VI online mode.
