Goal: Get every member on the same factual foundation — what the game is, when it launches, where it runs, who stars in it, and how we talk about rumors. For new Hub members, returning GTA fans, and anyone tired of scrolling past “confirmed” posts that aren’t. You do not need prior GTA knowledge. You do need curiosity and a willingness to check the source.

Level 2: WORLD & STORY — official world, setting, supporting cast, premise, trailers, Easter eggs, and Newswire literacy.

Level 3: PLATFORMS & PREP — official editions, pre-orders, launch readiness, and scam-safe buying.

Level 4: NEWS LITERACY & COMMUNITY — Stay informed without the noise: triage leaks, insider claims, and datamines; use Hub labels correctly; keep discussions useful until Rockstar moves a fact. Lessons cover primary-source checks, screenshot triage, claim weighting, datamine limits, labels, etiquette, and updating confirmed facts.

Make calm, labeled purchase and prep decisions before November 19, 2026: editions, physical vs digital, pre-load, DualSense stock, refunds, and storage honesty. PC=UNKNOWN / NOT CONFIRMED; DualSense restock=UNKNOWN; exact install GB=UNKNOWN. Facts first, no invented Rockstar facts.
