The Lab: Launch Companion

The companion app for Grand Theft Auto VI, built to say how sure it is. GTA VI launches on 19 November 2026. Until then, almost everything anyone says about it is a guess of some kind. The Lab does not hide that: every figure in the app carries a label — Verified, Community reported, Estimated, AI projection or Unverified — so you always know what you are looking at. THE COUNTDOWN Days, hours, minutes and seconds to launch, with an optional daily reminder scheduled on your phone. Off by default, and the app works exactly the same if you leave it off. THE DOSSIER What Rockstar has confirmed, what the storefronts have said, and what is still rumour: the release date, pre-orders, the trailers, the pre-load window, the PC question. Each entry links its source and says how sure we are. GTA 6 SHORTS A feed of Shorts about the game from across YouTube, played through YouTube's own player. Rockstar's announcements as they land. HEISTS, RANKED HONESTLY GTA Online heists by payout per hour, setup cost and crew size — the figures labelled as community-reported, estimated or verified, so you know which ones to trust. A planner for the night you have 47 minutes and no crew. ASK THE LAB An assistant that answers questions about the game and its economy, and tells you when it does not know. It is instructed never to state an unlabelled number as fact. THE NETWORK A community feed for players and creators. Post what you have measured, say where it came from, and report or block anything that should not be there. Every post can be reported, every user can be blocked, and moderators can remove content and expel abusers. STUDIO For creators: upload your own gameplay, let the app find the clip-worthy moments, and publish to your connected accounts. Only video you have the rights to — the app records the basis at upload. WHAT THIS APP IS NOT The Lab is an unofficial fan companion. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto and related names and images belong to their owners. Nothing in the app is a promise about how the game, its economy or your content will perform.
