The date the studio actually counts

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026. The header clock and homepage countdown on Vice City Studio are set to that launch moment. If another page shows a different day without a Rockstar source, treat it as rumor until Rockstar says otherwise.

A release date is not a content dump. Collectible lists, edition prices, and mission order will not be complete on day one anywhere honest — including here. What you can prepare is a map you already know how to filter, a marking habit that does not spoil the story, and (if you make videos) titles and thumbnails that are ready before the first trailer reaction floods the shelf.

What to prepare on Vice City Studio

Skim the district directory so Ocean Beach, Downtown Vice City, Port Gellhorn, the Keys, and the counties around them are familiar names. Open /map once and try mark-as-found plus a district isolate. Progress stays on your device.

Creators covering launch week can draft title angles and a 1280×720 thumbnail in Creator Studio, and grab a desktop or phone wallpaper from the free pool. Those tools do not require the game to be installed. Assets Generator is for original props and island pins — not an in-game import.

Join the waitlist on the homepage if you want a note when the companion updates. Skip any “100% checklist” that pretends Rockstar already published the full set.

Creator Studio cover for launch-week thumbnail and title prep
Launch prep on this site: map literacy, optional wallpaper mood, Creator Studio for the click — not invented mission lists.

After the doors open

On and after November 19, 2026, use the same boards: /map for the wider Leonida set, /island for the gold studio board, /companion for the marketing door into the product. Mark finds privately. Closest-path is a short route across remaining filtered pins, not a story walkthrough.

When Rockstar publishes real in-game categories, expect the companion to grow carefully. Until then, every pin remains geographic reference from the Leonida dataset — real Florida addresses, not confirmed collectibles.
