UnverifiedIs GTA VI coming to PC?

A PC version has not been announced. Rockstar has released PC versions of previous mainline entries later, but precedent is not confirmation and we will not present it as one.

UnverifiedHow big is the GTA VI map?

Official details have not yet been confirmed. The Extended Look did not state map size. Every square-mileage figure currently circulating is unverified, including those presented confidently with imagery.

Online mode details have not been officially confirmed, and the public Extended Look did not cover multiplayer at all. Nothing has been announced about structure, timing, or whether existing GTA Online progress carries over.
