CONFIRMEDREPORTEDLEAKEDINFERREDUNCONFIRMEDEvery claim is labeled. How we check
⚠ Xbox prices went up on August 1, 2026, by $100 to $150 worldwide. A disc Series X is now $799.99, which puts it $150 above a standard PS5 instead of level with it. If an Xbox is your Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) plan, the maths has changed. See the console guide →
On PlayStation? No price change is announced: Sony’s increase already landed in April. The one thing worth doing now is checking your storage: SSD prices are climbing through the 2026 memory shortage, and GTA 6 is expected to need 150-200GB. See the storage guide →
GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. SixManual is where you get ready for it, then finish it: buying guides written from confirmed facts, a growing database of what’s actually in the game, and a 100% completion tracker for launch day.
We separate what Rockstar has confirmed from what people are guessing. Estimates are labelled as estimates, sources are named, and nothing here is copied from anywhere else.

The method
House rules.
Two independent sources before anything is stated as fact. Anything unconfirmed is labelled ("expected", "our estimate", "unconfirmed") and never dressed up as news. When Rockstar announces something that contradicts what's on a page, the page gets corrected and dated, not quietly edited. More on the method in About.
Some pages carry affiliate links, always disclosed, always after the advice. They never change a recommendation. See Legal.
