This page is not a forum for general discussion about Grand Theft Auto VI. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Grand Theft Auto VI at the Reference desk.

Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

A fact from Grand Theft Auto VI appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 October 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the leak of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game was described as one of the biggest leaks in video game history?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2022/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Untitled Grand Theft Auto game.

British/American English

Why is the article currently set to be in British English? It's a game by an American company. I vote it should be changed to US English. Bradleysballs (talk) 18:48, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rockstar North, the studio that created and manages the Grand Theft Auto series, is British. GSK (talk • edits) 19:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All other articles in the series are in BE as well, so it's just consistent. IceWelder [✉] 19:11, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't articles about other Rockstar titles in respective English varieties for consistency? Ahri Boy (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the studio articles? Those use the respective variety because being located within a country can feasibly be seen as a strong national tie, whereas being developed by a company in a certain country cannot. IceWelder [✉] 22:24, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"We got X before GTA VI"

can we talk about an internet meme and how everyone talks about GTA VI before it's initial release? NIKO (talk) 16:37, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it's covered by several reliable sources, it may be worth mentioning, if only briefly. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:49, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

None as of quick searching. Not even from Keeda, Bible, TOI. Ahri Boy (talk) 01:24, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i have no dog in this fight but out of curiosity would "know your meme" count as a good source?

@Pdubs.94 Looking at WP:KNOWYOURMEME, no. They're user generated. CommissarDoggo^Talk? 18:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found few articles (Der Spiegel, IGN and The Times of India) No.cilepogača (talk) 19:33, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only one is reliable, the other two is marginal. Ahri Boy (talk) 22:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahri Boy WP:IGN says that the IGN is generally reliable for pop culture, videogames and similar No.cilepogača (talk) 22:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it's ready to cite. Ahri Boy (talk) 00:01, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a brief mention. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:58, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 👏👏👏 Ahri Boy (talk) 02:04, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The view count refers to the time it reached that achievement; it's not a live counter. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 02:36, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
