How we check facts
Every fact carries a label. Labels: Confirmed Rockstar or Take-Two said it. Reported From store data or a reputable outlet. Leaked Unofficial figure. Fan-spotted Spotted by fans in official media. Unknown Not published. Checked 3 November 2026. We never invent numbers, dates, cheats or locations. If something isn't announced, we say so and leave it out. Last full check: 3 November 2026. For official news, read the Rockstar Newswire.
Map credits and licence
The Leonida map uses map tiles by YANIS (V17) and landmark data from gtadb.org and all contributors, both under CC BY 4.0. We filtered out leak-sourced and unconfirmed entries, reprojected the data, restyled the markers, and masked the tiles' legend panel because it contains game screenshot thumbnails. The tiles and data are hosted on this site, copied from the gtadb.org repository as its README asks, so we don't fetch from gtadb.org live. The map viewer is Leaflet (BSD-2). The font is Inter (SIL Open Font License), hosted here.
