CURRENT ANSWER

The guide curriculum begins with verified pre-release facts. It does not publish mission walkthroughs, money routes, controls, or completion claims before those systems can be checked against the release build.

Freshman: establish the facts

Release date, platforms, official cast, story premise, and named regions form the first layer. These pages are sourced from Rockstar's own current material.

Sophomore: read systems carefully

Gameplay pages identify what official footage shows without upgrading observations into confirmed rules. Exact controls, stats, and strategies wait for hands-on verification.

GTA 6 Phone Apps: Names, Functions and Evidence

GTA VI's phone has app-based functions, but a complete official launch app list has not been published in the sources checked here. Famitsu's Rob Nelson interview supports video, fitness, banking and Scooter Bros vehicle delivery. WAINK, Snapmatic and ride-hailing records retain their separate reported-source caveats.

GTA 6 Focus Mode: What the Evidence Actually Shows

The accessible preview evidence describes Focus highlighting enterable doors. It does not establish a complete color legend, every interior, vehicle weak points or final controls. Keep that reported exploration aid separate from combat slow-motion and phone scanning unless a source explicitly connects them.

Vice City vs Miami: Fictional Setting, Real-World Context

Vice City is GTA VI's fictional city within Leonida, not a verified one-to-one Miami map. The separately reported Miami Beach marketing proposal is real-world campaign news, not gameplay evidence. A vote authorizing negotiations does not establish a signed agreement or a new in-game location.
