Predictions tracker

Every falsifiable claim Vice Atlas has published, tracked publicly. Hits and misses both stay in the ledger. Falsified predictions never get deleted — they're part of the record.

This is our ledger. The city keeps its own — YES or NO on dated GTA 6 events, graded when reality lands. Open calls →

    Trailer 3 drops on Tuesday May 5, 12, or 19, 2026 — before Take-Two's May 21 earnings call.

    Resolution context: The May 5 / 12 / 19 Tuesday window closed without a third trailer on Rockstar's Newswire or YouTube channel.

    We read the pattern wrong on timing — and we were slow to grade it: the window closed May 19, this grade landed July 16. Both stay on the ledger. The ledger is the point.

    Reality contradicted the prediction.

How we track predictions

  • Falsifiable only. Hedged opinions and judgment calls aren't tracked here. Only specific claims that reality can resolve.
  • Status updates publicly. When a prediction resolves, this ledger updates within 24 hours of the resolution event.
  • Falsified claims stay. We don't delete predictions we got wrong. Falsified entries remain visible — that's the credibility record.
  • Confidence at publication. Each prediction shows the confidence level we assigned when we made it, not after the fact.
  • Sourced. Every prediction links to the article where it was originally published. Click through to see the full reasoning.

Editorial standards live in our editorial policy. Corrections handled per the corrections policy.
