It’s been eight years sinceGrand Theft Auto 5launched, and so it’s safe to say that many fans of Rockstar’s open world franchise are hungry for details about the next game in the series. Unfortunately, officialGrand Theft Auto 6details are nonexistent at this point, with Rockstar keeping tight-lipped about its next game and any other future projects. This has led to endless rumors and supposed “leaks” about whatGrand Theft Auto 6will entail, with the latest one claiming to reveal a ton of information about the game.
Fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt, but it’s gaining traction on Reddit and elsewhere online. The leak claims to reveal a lot of details aboutGrand Theft Auto 6, claiming it will use a Chapter system like inRed Dead Redemption 2, with the first two chapters set in the 1970s, presumably followed by a time jump.

The leak goes on to say that theGrand Theft Auto 6release window is October 2023. Supposedly, the map will be based on Miami and Florida, with a main story that will be around 60 hours long. TheGTA 6mapis said to be smaller than the one inRed Dead Redemption 2, but more “dense.” As far as the online goes, the leaker says thatGrand Theft Auto 6’s online component will be “grounded” when compared to the more outlandish items seen inGTA Onlinetoday.
The “leak” also addresses the recent rumors thatGrand Theft Auto 6will have a female protagonist. If this latest rumor is to be believed, Rockstar considered having a female playable protagonist at one point, but the idea was scrapped. It also seems as though the company decided against letting players switch between three different playable characters like inGrand Theft Auto 5, which also goes against some of the other rumors about the game.
As far as “proof” goes, the leak says that the new game will feature Ken Rosenberg fromGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, and that he will mention Tommy Vercetti multiple times. When players actually get their hands onGTA 6and experience this, they will know that the leak was legitimate. However, this claim by itself seems to cast the entire “leak” in doubt, as Rosenberg, Vercetii, and their version of Vice City exists in a separate universe than theGrand Theft Auto 4and5timeline.
Ultimately, fans should be extremely skeptical of this latestGrand Theft Auto 6leak. There’s way too much information included for it to be legitimate, though there are so many claims that it wouldn’t be surprising ifsomethingfrom it turned out to be true, even if it’s by accident. Whenever Rockstar decides to revealGrand Theft Auto 6, fans will find out if there was ever any truth to this big “leak.”
