GTA VI's achievement list is still hidden two weeks out
With 14 days to go, no verified GTA VI achievement or trophy list has surfaced, which doesn't match what Rockstar's earlier big releases did. Nobody knows why.
Fourteen days before launch, Grand Theft Auto VI still has no verified achievement or trophy list out in the open. For a big Rockstar release, that's unusual.
Achievement lists for earlier Rockstar titles became public anywhere from 15 to 50 days before release:
- GTA IV: at least 31 days before launch
- GTA V: 30 days
- Red Dead Redemption 2: 15 days
- GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition: 28 days
Some of those weren't leaks at all. Rockstar put the lists on its own Newswire for three games:
- Red Dead Redemption: 50 days before release
- L.A. Noire: 43 days
- Max Payne 3: 35 days
The closest case is Red Dead Redemption 2. Its PlayStation trophy list, 52 trophies, reportedly leaked through PSNProfiles 15 days before launch. GTA VI is already past that mark and there's still nothing verified.
What we don't know yet
Rockstar hasn't said anything about it, so the reasons are guesswork. Some possibilities:
- The data may not yet be reachable through PlayStation or Xbox services.
- Access to it may be more tightly controlled this time.
- Nobody may have found it yet.
- With no physical disc release, the data may be easier to lock down.
- Rockstar may be hiding story spoilers.
My own bet is on the spoiler angle, since a trophy list can give away a lot of story.
