How to read this timeline
Every card records an event date separately from the date GTA Updates reviewed or published its explanation. Earlier release targets remain visible as history, while the current answer is identified by its status and the newest primary source.
Trailer footage can support observations about what appears on screen, but it does not automatically confirm a gameplay system. We use Rockstar and Take-Two text for dates, platforms, editions, and named features, then explain what remains unknown.
Rockstar’s launch trailer reinforces the November 19 console date and connects the game’s story, score, and soundtrack without announcing a PC version.
