Claims we could not verify
Earlier versions of this page carried view-count records, like counts, a scene count, a song streaming figure, real-world Florida references and a list of confirmed features. None of these is in Rockstar's Newswire post, and we could not check the video or a primary statistics source, so they are removed and not repeated here. Treat such figures elsewhere as unverified unless the outlet names a source.
For characters and places Rockstar itself describes, see its Only in Leonida page, our Jason and Lucia backstory, the Trailer 2 page, the trailer archive and the delay history.
