FAQ

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask.

Do I need the app?

Not yet — use it on the web today. The App Store and Google Play apps land in October: download early, link your gamertag, and be set before GTA VI drops on Nov 19, 2026.

What does it cost?

Civilian is free. Hustler is $4.99, once. Kingpin is $19.99 if you’re already a Hustler, or $24.99 with Hustler included — a crew plus five seats to gift. No subscriptions, ever.

Is there a password?

No. A six-digit code by email, or sign in with Google.

Linking a gamertag

How does linking work?

Enter your gamertag and the app gives you a four-digit code. Paste it into your Xbox profile bio, set the bio to visible to everyone, and tap Verify — we read the code to prove the gamertag is yours. Nothing reads your bio after that, so you can clear the code straight away.

PlayStation?

Same as Xbox. Enter your online ID, put the four-digit code in your About Me, and tap Verify — from then on your trophies sync on their own. Your About Me and your trophies have to be visible to anyone, or we can’t read them. How to change PlayStation privacy settings.

Can I link more than one gamertag?

One per account.

Duck or Beef

What does “duck or beef” mean?

Beef means you accept the challenge. Duck means you avoid it at all costs. Swipe right to beef, left to duck.

What happens when I duck?

Nothing — a duck is never a penalty. But every duck on a fade goes on the record, who ducked you and who you ducked, and the other player is told.

Can someone keep running a fade on me?

Not for seven days after you duck them. Block ends it for good.

How do I create my moniker?

Upload a photo or take a selfie and let the app paint you into Opps City — or create one from scratch. Coming with the app; Hustlers only.

Trophies and the hundo

What is the hundo?

100% of the base game’s trophies. Add-ons show, but they don’t count toward it.

How often does it update?

Every time you open the app, it catches up. Behind that, Hustlers sync every hour and can hit Sync Now; Civilians every six hours while they’re active, less often when they’re not.

Do secret trophies get spoiled?

Never. An unearned secret is “Hidden achievement” until you earn it — and receipts never print achievement names.

Receipts

What is a receipt?

A share card that proves who was ahead, stamped and dated. It never lies and it never prints a trophy name.

Can I share them anywhere?

Yes — the QR on every receipt opens it on the web.

Crews and Kingpin

What is a crew?

Up to six players, one crew per player. Crews beef other crews and run the crew tier of Main Character.

What does Kingpin cost?

$19.99 once if you’re a Hustler; $24.99 with Hustler included. Five seats to gift; once they’re in, they’re in.

Money

Is there a subscription?

No. Everything is paid once.

Refunds?

Everything is paid once and never expires. Crew seats: no refunds once an invitee has joined; unclaimed seats are voided.

Privacy and safety

What do you store from my photo?

Only the portrait. The original is discarded after it’s painted. (Portraits come with the app.)

How do I report or block someone?

In the app — it acts immediately and across every surface.

Is this affiliated with the game’s publisher?

No. Duck or Beef is an independent fan-made companion app.
