GTA 6 intel, GTA guides and the GTA games archive

Meet the team

RockstarSpy is an independent intel desk covering Grand Theft Auto and the wider Rockstar catalogue. Three writers split the beat so that GTA 6 news, GTA Online updates and series history each get someone who follows them full time.

Marcus Reed

Marcus Reed runs the GTA 6 desk at RockstarSpy. His beat is everything attached to the next game: release windows, launch details, official trailers, platform plans and the steady drip of leaks that fills the gap between Rockstar announcements. He treats every claim as a question of sourcing first. A Take-Two earnings call or a Rockstar Newswire post gets reported as fact. A datamine or a tipster with a mixed record gets labeled as such. When a story shifts, he updates the piece and says what changed rather than quietly rewriting it. Readers should always be able to tell what is confirmed and what is still talk.

Dana Ortiz

Dana Ortiz covers GTA Online and GTA 5, the part of the series that changes every week. She tracks the Thursday update cycle: new vehicles, bonus events, discounts, heist tweaks and the patch notes behind them. Her money guides are built around what actually pays per hour at a given moment, not what paid six months ago, and she revises them when Rockstar adjusts payouts. Patches get the same treatment, with attention to what was fixed, what broke and what players are reporting that the official notes skip. She writes for people who have a few hours a week to play and want each one to count.

Theo Lang

Theo Lang looks after the back catalogue. He maintains the RockstarSpy GTA encyclopedia, covering every mainline entry from the top-down originals through GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4, along with the handheld spin-offs, Bully, Max Payne 3 and the Red Dead games. His pieces on characters, cities and recurring in-jokes lean on the games themselves: he checks mission scripts, in-game radio and manuals rather than repeating fan wiki summaries. He also covers how Rockstar’s design habits carried from one game to the next, which often explains why a GTA 6 rumor sounds plausible or not. Expect specifics over nostalgia.

How we work

Sourcing. Official sources come first: Rockstar Newswire, Rockstar Support, Take-Two investor materials and in-game patch notes. Everything else is weighed by track record. Reporters with a history of accurate Rockstar scoops are named and credited. Datamines are described as datamines. Anonymous posts are treated as unverified until something official or independently confirmed backs them up. We report on leaks, but we do not host, embed or point readers toward leaked files, footage or builds, and we never speculate about who an anonymous leaker is.

Labels. Every claim on the site carries one of three tags in the text itself:

  • Confirmed: stated by Rockstar or Take-Two, or visible in the game.
  • Reported: carried by an outlet or reporter with a proven record, not yet confirmed.
  • Rumor: community speculation, anonymous tips or sources with a mixed record.

A story’s label changes only when the evidence does, and the article says so.

Corrections. When we get something wrong, we fix it in the piece and add a dated note explaining what was changed and why. Silent edits are not how this desk operates. If you spot an error, the contact page is the fastest route to the writer responsible.
