- [Will GTA 6 have launch day problems?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-launch-day-server-issues/): [likely] Heavy demand may cause store, download, account, or update delays around launch, but specific GTA 6 server failures are not confirmed. No GTA 6 online mode has been announced.
- [Should you buy GTA 6 physical or digital?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-physical-vs-digital/): [likely] Choose digital for account-based convenience and possible preload access; choose physical if you value a tangible copy or resale.

- [Will GTA 6 have multiple endings?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-multiple-endings/): [rumored] Rockstar has not confirmed multiple endings for GTA 6. GTA V offers a relevant precedent, but Jason and Lucia's story may end in one fixed outcome or several player-dependent outcomes.
- [How advanced is GTA 6's NPC AI?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-npc-ai-and-crowds/): [rumored] GTA 6's trailers show busy, varied crowds, but they do not reveal how advanced the underlying NPC AI is. Rockstar has not detailed routines, memory, reactions, or population systems.

- [When will GTA 6 Online launch?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-online-release-timing/): [rumored] Rockstar has not announced a GTA 6 online mode or a launch date for one. GTA Online arrived weeks after GTA V, but that precedent does not confirm the same plan for GTA 6.
- [What are GTA 6's PC system requirements?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-pc-system-requirements/): [rumored] GTA 6 has no announced PC version, so there are no official PC system requirements. Current CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and operating-system lists are guesses.
- [Is GTA 6 coming to PC?](https://vicepulse.net/rumors/gta-6-pc-version/): [rumored] No PC version is announced. GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Rockstar has always ported its flagships to PC eventually, historically 8–19 months later, so 2027–2028 is the plausible window.
