Talk:Grand Theft Auto VI

Mark leaks section as current event.

Due to the trend of leaks and numerous edit requests for modification to the leaks section, along with the responses from both R*/T2, the leaks section (or article itself) should be marked as a current event. At the bare minimum the talk section should have the edit notice.

Please reply with AGREE/OPPOSE. DoggyWagWag (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a democracy? Sure, that is a written rule but why are comments like this permitted then? DoggyWagWag (talk) 19:06, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Actually if we want to continue this go to my talk page. DoggyWagWag (talk) 19:17, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

There have been relatively few edits and even fewer edit requests, so it seems completely unnecessary to me. – Rhain ☔ ^he

Current event banners are for things such as recent mass casualty events or shootings. A good rule of thumb is that if an event hasn’t had several major updates in the past 5 hours, it no longer counts as a current event. The silence periods between each leak have been longer than 5 hours, so the banner isn’t needed here. OrbitalVoid49 (talk) 18:29, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

At least your reply was actually useful unlike the two others. thanks. DoggyWagWag (talk) 18:56, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

Assistance in polishing up Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look

As it stands, the aforementioned article has enough solid content, but it is kind of difficult to follow through. I have made some efforts to polish it up, so I would humbly ask for additional help. JT0219 (talk) 08:51, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Executive producer?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to add Sam Houser as an executive producer as well? I see that rob nelson added as a producer so. Founder and current president should be added too ~2026-48814-67 (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Add executive producer as Sam Houser. Krauub (talk) 15:16, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

 Not done. It's not clear what changes you want to make (this would likely need a source, too). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:01, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Do we have a reliable source that states Sam Houser is an executive producer on this game? We can't just assume based on past credits, even if it's likely true. Prefall 22:50, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

Sam Houser is the top executive at Rockstar and he's had this credit since the original installment of Grand Theft Auto, so... it would make sense and isn't at all a foreign concept. ~2026-51309-50 (talk) 23:14, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Seriously lol. Just read new york times gta 6 article. He is literally number one guy every rockstar game. Not having him on here is just silly. Krauub (talk) 16:32, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

"Romantic"

Romantic criminal duo - is this accurate, given that it is confirmed romance is optional? I also believe the phrasing is a bit clunky. IPhoneEnthusiast (talk) 10:22, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Promotion

I think everything regarding the promotion of the game should be moved into a new section. With new things consistently happening like the Miami city advertising campaign and the album, it doesn’t seem like the stuff related to promotion of the game will fit in the “Release” section once the game actually releases. Albeit I don’t have a crystal ball, but from what we’ve seen it’s pretty substantial already. OrbitalVoid49 (talk) 16:03, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

Additions/Changes

- Include Michael Unsworth in the "Writers" section, as he has self-credited working on Grand Theft Auto VI, evident by his position as Vice President of Writing until 2023 (well into the games development)

- Add Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games, as an Executive Producer, just as he was on previous titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption, etc. (virtually all preceding titles since).

2 sources: LinkedIn and Rockstar Games' post-credits, respectively.

Aaron Garbut

There are many artists working on this game, so it is quite disingenous to imply this is the work of a sole "artist", Aaron Garbut.

His credit should be changed to Director of Art, or more simply, just Art Director, as seen in previous titles and even Rockstar's latest, Red Dead Redemption 2.

Source is Rockstar's official credits page. ~2026-51309-50 (talk) 23:19, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

After looking at multiple Wikipedia pages, this seems to be consistent across all titles. Disregard or consider; its miniscule in hindsight. ~2026-51309-50 (talk) 23:22, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Should we do ECP?

I've noticed SP Users still vandalising this article. (YLZFS) 18:48, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

I see none recently. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 19:50, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

I don't know what the circular link above is about, but I agree with the above comment: I don't see vandalism. Nor any edits in the past few days, for that matter. Are there any diffs you find particularly problematic? Here for the one billionth edit (talk) 21:39, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

I think gatekeeping is their thing. Also, @YLZFS, please use edit summaries with your edits. Seasider53 (talk) 22:44, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

What is a edit summary? I'm super overwhelmed with school assignments right now. (YLZFS) 22:48, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Ohhhh that yeah I get what you mean. (YLZFS) 22:56, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Writers

Michael Wiafe is a mid-level Game Writer and not a Senior Creative or Lead Writer within the Rockstar Games organization, so I'm shocked to find his name sharing an authorship credit with the Senior Vice President of Narrative & Head Writer, Rupert Humphries. This needs to be fixed urgently. Rupert Humphries, Roger Drew & Luke Turton make up the Senior Writing Team and there's plenty of evidence to back this up: Luke Turton's Linkedin and Official Credits - https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-t-92a782/?isSelfProfile=false & https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/thankyou Roger Drew's Credits and Official Management Mention - https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadonline/thankyou & https://www.casarotto.co.uk/clients/roger-drew Saintkevinofficial (talk) 10:34, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Read WP:No original research. LinkedIn and Casarotto are primary sources with no value here. Also, the Rockstar link is about Red Dead Redemption 2, so it is irrelevant for Grand Theft Auto 6. Please, provide secondary reliable sources backing up your claims or wait until the game is out. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 18:14, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

so why in the world is Michael Wiafe still credited as a writer if we don't officially know through the game's credits? This makes absolutely no sense. By the way, the Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online link is the most up-to-date Rockstar Games credits' list because they're constantly updated through Online DLCs. Saintkevinofficial (talk) 18:22, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

You can ask it directly to the person who added his name to the infobox. As a reader, I can see his name written in the article's body, so I don't see any error to be "urgently" fixed. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 18:38, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Because he's the only writer confirmed other than Humphries to have worked on the game via interviews that been reported by reliable independent non-primary sources. TheDeviantPro (talk) 10:10, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
