Database FAQs
Are all listed features confirmed?
No. Each feature has a visible trust label: confirmed, unknown, or speculative.
Can speculative ideas be included?
Yes, only when clearly labelled and not presented as Rockstar-confirmed features.
What happens when a feature becomes official?
Update the trust label, cite the official source, add the changed page to the corrections log, and route the record into a guide, FAQ, or database page only after validation.
How should this change after launch?
Confirmed in-game systems can gain guides, screenshots, tutorials, and database fields.
