Rockstar pointed to LOVE Magazine’s Grand Theft Auto VI cover story from Issue 27. It is online and in stores. The interview adds no new checkable facts beyond the September Game Informer coverage.
Rockstar says this is the biggest and widest-ranging in-game radio yet. The span named is Classic Rock, Modern Hip-Hop, Pop, Metal, Dance, Latin, ’80s, Electronic, Blues, Ballads, Talk Radio, and Podcasts. Six stations are detailed. The full list is not. Podcasts are new, and they play in a vehicle and on foot through headphones and earbuds on the phone. Dynamic score is not detailed.
Grand Theft Auto VI Collection. Apparel and collectibles, Rockstar Store only. Heavyweight cotton tees in black, blue, and pink, with the VI logo or the Rockstar logo. Goodtime State and Macca the Gator tees. Flexfit hats are a pre-order, in GTAVI-inspired colors, palms inside the VI logo. Chrome keychain, chrome Vice City money clip, refillable Vice City Zippo lighter, canvas tote bags, and two vinyl sticker sets. More coming. Prices are not on the Newswire. Separate from the Sep 24 Goodtime collector box. Game not included.
Leonida weather is localized. Dynamic cloudscapes. You can stand in sun and see a storm in the distance. Puddles and wet ground stay after rain. Rainbows possible. Tropical storms and hurricanes exist. Game Informer does not say how often they hit or whether they change missions or story.
Over 170 animal species on land, air, and sea. Named native: flamingos, manatees, pelicans, alligators. Named invasive: green iguanas, cane toads, feral cats, rhesus macaques. Some are tagged Rare, Discoverable, or Legendary. Those identities are secret.
Aaron Garbut told Game Informer Leonida is Rockstar's biggest map, about twice Grand Theft Auto V, and denser, with more interiors. Six regions named in the issue: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. Game Informer does not publish square kilometers.
IGN and VICE recaps of the Game Informer issue list side activities including base jumping, pool, gyms, kayak, mini-golf, scuba, street and off-road racing, zoos, airboats, and jet skis. PlayDesk does not assign those to a region or call any of them required.
