PRE-BUILD INVENTORY · OCTOBER 7, 2026

The dates.
The evidence.

Grand Theft Auto: research table, product / access matches and inspection gaps.

VERIFICATION STATUS

Broad coverage.
Open questions.

52 catalogue records; 51 indexed works. Shared branch points, embedded scenes and anthology containers are distinguished.

A research edition, not a completed full-interior audit. A missing date remains an inspection gap until the actual work has been checked.

Inventory / contradiction checks

All distinct released GTA game titles and both IV story expansions accounted for; London 1961 precedes 1969.
3D and HD universes separated using Rockstar’s statement. GTA2’s 1999 / 2013 conflict is explicit.
The Introduction uses a complete official viewing link. IV episodes retain their overlapping 2008 setting.
Online story-bearing update runs inventoried through Kortz Center and October 2026 seasonal content; update years are not fictional dates.
GTA VI is marked upcoming, not misrepresented as a completed story audit.
Pre-build table reviewed for duplicate titles, continuity conflicts, unsupported release-year dates and product / collection mismatches. Open coverage and inaccessible interiors remain listed.

Verification still required

Full mission-script / frame audit, Online cross-arc ordering and obscure printed / promotional narratives remain open.
Some older game Amazon editions and GTA2’s authorized full-film viewing link are not verified.
Each seasonal encounter, radio / TV narrative and Epsilon website story requires a finer inventory before exhaustive coverage can be claimed.
