The first-party store material checked here describes GTA VI as a single-player experience. A bonus month of GTA+ does not, by itself, confirm a GTA VI online mode or its launch timing.
What PlayStation confirms
The PS5 page lists offline play, one player, DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers. It also describes the Extended Look as captured from in-game PS5 footage.
These are platform descriptions, not Hizzle's performance measurements.
Where to watch the official footage
Rockstar's GTA VI page currently links the Launch Trailer, An Extended Look and the first two trailers. Go to that source for the videos themselves. The guide uses original drawings rather than copied footage or screenshots.
Official music previews
Rockstar's music page offers soundtrack and score singles plus selected radio samples. It credits Justice for the original score and dates that album for December 11. Named preview stations include Flash FM, Back Country and The Chamber. Listen through the official page; these previews do not establish a complete station or song list.
What footage does not settle
A promotional video can show a scene without giving you the rules behind it. UNSURE: the final control layout, difficulty options, mission replay rules, save restrictions, economy formulas and reliable early money routes.
We also do not have verified performance targets for every console configuration in this guide. “PS5 Pro Enhanced” or promotional wording is not enough to invent a specific frame rate.
Online, co-op and cross-play
UNSURE: GTA VI online availability, co-op, cross-play, progression transfer and subscription requirements for any unconfirmed multiplayer feature. Do not substitute current GTA Online rules for an announcement about GTA VI.
Where to start at launch
Read the actual tutorial and settings screens before relying on muscle memory from GTA V. Hizzle will add specific settings and system guides once their behavior can be sourced.

UNSURE marks what this guide hasn't established. Hizzle Guides research from public sources; we don't claim in-game testing unless a page says so.
