GTA 6 Guides — get ready for launch day
GTA 6 isn't out yet, so these are launch-prep and expectation guides based on the trailers and Rockstar's history — clearly labeled. The day the game drops, each becomes a real, tested guide.
Launch-day checklist actionable now
Pre-load starts Nov 12 — download early so you're playing at midnight, not staring at a progress bar. Free up ~150GB, check your console storage now, and bookmark our news feed for day-one confirmations.
What to do first expected
In every GTA, the smart opening is: run the early story missions for guaranteed cash, resist buying a flashy car before you own an income source, and explore Vice City on foot to learn the map before you need to escape through it.
How to make money expected
Story missions → businesses → heists, in that order. Full breakdown on the money page — and no glitches, ever (Rockstar patches and bans them).
Full guide →Getting good fast expected
Learn the cover and driving systems in the first hour, use the map's fast-travel sparingly so you memorize routes, and treat early deaths as map lessons. The players who look pro just know the geography.
Collectible maps, mission walkthroughs, and tested money methods — all free, all sourced. Join the launch list to get them day one.
Guides labeled "expected" are analysis from trailers and Rockstar's history, not confirmed GTA 6 mechanics. We never present expectation as fact.
