How you get around: three layouts

Decided, 12 Nov: Ryan picked 03 Hub of tiles, in 04 Night edition. This is how the app will look, to the pixel. One change, required by Twitch’s 400-point minimum: on an iPhone held upright, a stream opens in a full-screen sideways player inside Heist Hub instead of the small player in the sheet (see page 3).

This page decides how people move around the app: a tab bar, one long feed, or a hub of big tiles. The countdown is gone: Home now opens on the Spotlight, one big picture of the best thing right now. Every phone plays the same story: the Spotlight moves to its next pick, then a live stream opens, a video is saved, Videos are filtered to Walkthroughs, the easter egg of the day opens its pin on the map, and Back returns Home. Watch how many taps each layout needs.

What the Spotlight shows

Priority (the first that matches wins)
  1. A pick we pin (launch day, a big event; rare)
  2. Breaking news (under 90 minutes old)
  3. Your streamer, live now
  4. The most-watched live stream (only with 20,000+ watching)
  5. Your streamer going live soon (within 3 hours, with Remind me)
  6. The top trending video (last 24 hours)
  7. Our pick (a YouTube video or one of our own clips)
  8. Our own Heist Hub art (always there, so it is never empty)
Tie-breaks and rotationLive beats recorded, then newer beats older, then more-watched wins. Up to 3 picks sit behind each other (the dots), moving on every 7 seconds and pausing while you touch. Nothing you opened today comes back, and no pick stays longer than 30 minutes. With reduced motion, it never moves by itself. In the phones below, nobody’s streamer is live yet, so the picks are 4, 5 and 6.
Your streamerThe streamer you watched most in the last 30 days. That history stays on your phone and is never uploaded. With no history yet, we use a well-known streamer from our curated list. When they go live soon, the Spotlight says so and offers “Remind me”.
Never in the SpotlightThe GTA VI logo or any Rockstar art: they are trademarks. The picture is the creator’s own thumbnail (always credited), a news site’s photo, or our own generated art. No ads in the Spotlight, ever.
