  • GTA 6 Affordability Index

    GTA 6 costs 61 hours of minimum-wage work in Brazil and 11 in the US.

    GTA 6's Standard Edition costs 61 hours of minimum-wage work in Brazil, 33 in Mexico, 11 in the US and 4.9 in Australia, according to the GTA 6 Affordability Index from GTA 6 Cheat Sheet. The index divides each country's PlayStation Store or Xbox Store price, read on 2026-10-06, by the hourly minimum wage set by its government, for 22 countries. Argentina ranks highest at 62 hours, with its US-dollar store price converted at the central bank's reference rate. Brazil's R$449.90 price equals US$90.55 at European Central Bank rates, more than the US $79.99. In the UK it takes 5.5 hours. Italy, Finland and India are listed but not ranked because they have no single national minimum wage. The data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0.

  • The GTA 6 Rumor Report

    Of 36 GTA 6 rumors, 10 came true, 7 were debunked and 19 are still open.

    GTA 6 Cheat Sheet's Rumor Report scores all 36 GTA 6 rumors, fan theories and "Can you...?" questions on its tracker, 44 days before the November 19 launch. 5 are confirmed by Rockstar, a store or Take-Two, 5 were shown in Rockstar's own footage, 7 are debunked and 19 are still open. Questions about features did best: 8 of 19 came true. Fan theories did worst: 0 of 6 came true and 2 were debunked, including the moon theory and Theory 27. 11 open questions, such as skateboarding, surfing and pets, should settle on launch day; PC, Steam and Game Pass need an announcement. Every verdict links its source. The data is free under CC BY 4.0.

  • The complete GTA 6 timeline

    1,749 days from Rockstar's first word on GTA 6 to launch, and two delays.

    GTA 6 will launch on November 19, 2026, 1,749 days after Rockstar first said the next Grand Theft Auto was "well underway" (February 4, 2022) and 1,081 days after Trailer 1. GTA 6 Cheat Sheet's timeline lists 49 dated milestones, each linked to its source: Rockstar's Newswire, Take-Two's investor releases, store pages and reporting. The release date moved twice. Take-Two narrowed "2025" to fall 2025 in May 2024; Rockstar moved the game to May 26, 2026 on May 2, 2025, then to November 19, 2026 on November 6, 2025, 177 days later than the second date. Take-Two named a window or date in 10 quarterly reports in a row, from May 2024 to August 2026. The data is free under CC BY 4.0.

  • Leonida vs real Florida

    Vice City is Miami, Grassrivers is the Everglades: every Leonida region and its real Florida match, sourced.

    Rockstar has never named Florida, but its environment art lead says everything in GTA 6's state of Leonida is "geared to getting that full Florida experience", as Game Informer reported. GTA 6 Cheat Sheet's Leonida vs real Florida guide pairs each of the six regions Rockstar named with the real place outlets tie it to: Vice City with Miami, the Leonida Keys with the Florida Keys, Grassrivers with the Everglades, and Port Gellhorn with Florida's faded tourist towns, Panama City most of all. Ambrosia's sugar refinery has been compared to Clewiston by one outlet, and Mount Kalaga has no real match. Each pairing is labelled Reported or One outlet and linked to its sources, beside a side-by-side map of Leonida and Florida. Free to reuse under CC BY 4.0.

Why we publish this data, and how to use it well

Our take: much GTA 6 coverage repeats the same few facts, so we built datasets that count things we couldn't find counted elsewhere: what the game costs in hours of work around the world, which rumors came true, how the release date moved, and which parts of Leonida match real Florida. We think these are the most useful things on the site for a reporter, because each one is sourced line by line and can be checked. Two cautions from us. Every dataset is dated, and several will change on November 19, when launch settles rumors and puts real places on the map; quote the "last checked" date with any number. And the Leonida vs Florida study marks single-outlet matches separately: please keep that label if you use one, rather than turning "one outlet says" into "is".

Story angles we think each dataset supports

Dataset The question it answers A story it supports
Affordability Index How many hours of minimum-wage work buy GTA 6 in each country Why the same price lands very differently in Brazil, Mexico and the US
Rumor Report Which GTA 6 rumors came true, and what settled each one How fan theories and "insider" claims fared against Rockstar's own reveals
Timeline Every dated announcement since the first word, and every promised date How the release date moved, and how long the wait really was
Leonida vs Florida Which real places each part of Leonida is based on How faithfully Rockstar copied Miami, and what it left out

Our suggestions; each page has the method and every source behind its numbers.

How to cite us

  1. Name gta6cheatsheet.com and link the dataset's page, as the CC BY 4.0 license asks.
  2. Give the "last checked" date next to any number.
  3. Say we are an unofficial fan site; we have no link to Rockstar Games or Take-Two.
