Latest GTA 6 Leaks Point Towards a Potential 2023 Release

With no official GTA 6 announcements from Rockstar Games, we are here with yet another potential GTA 6 leaks however this time around, we have tons of information that comes courtesy of an unknown leaker and has been posted on Reddit. The original post was apparently made on 4Chan however it has now been removed but as you might know, once it makes it to the internet, it stays there forever and this is the fate of the latest GTA 6 leak as well.

The latest leak is so far the biggest one and the most prominent aspect of this leak is that is points to an October 2023 release for GTA 6 and also mentions that a GTA San Andreas remake is in the works as well. According to the leak, GTA 6 will take place in Miami and will include a much greater chunk of Florida along with it and will also include a smaller island or map which will be similar to the Guarma island featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. It is also set in the 1970s and 1980s according to the leak.

While this is no official announcement so it should still be taken with a grain of salt. The full leak details:

Chapter system similar RDR2 and the first 2 chapters set in the late 1970s
October 2023 Targeted
One male protagonist (codenamed Ricardo which was leaked previously). The name of the protagonist is a spoiler in itself which can potentially spoil the narrative and the leaker also said beware of future leakers who might spoil the name of the protagonist.
The map covers Miami/Florida and a smaller map that appears in limited interaction (similar to Guarma in RDR2)
The leaker claims that Dan Houser left because he exhausted himself after the RDR2 crunch, could return in the future
The main story set to be about 60 hours long
GTAO counterpart to release a few months after the single-player counterpart release. (Something similar to what they did with RDR2 and Red Dead Online)
The leaker claims that it is the best story ever put in a GTA game but not quite emotional as RDR2.
The mission structure supposed to be quite free.
The Map is smaller than RDR2 but way dense. (This seems to be the biggest red flag regarding the credibility of the leaker but considering that the game spans multiple decades, it makes sense if they decided to pack it more or another possibility could be something like The Witcher 3 where there are multiple maps of different locations)
Minigames include Surfing, Windsurfing, and Roller Derby
RDR1 is technically being “remastered” and coming before GTAVI
One thing to note is that when someone asked to leak something very specific which can be used to see the credibility of the leak in the future, the leaker says, “You meet Ken Rosenberg and he mentions Tommy Vercetti several times although you never actually meet Tommy.”
The example of the improved AI design according to the leaker was “You may see NPCs beeping their horn and driving aggressively around other drivers because they’re late for work.”
The “family” from GTAIV mentioned and Love Fist are involved in missions and side missions.
Direct contact with explosions can blow off limbs, you can leave deep cuts on people with a machete and close combat shooting can result in bone fragmentation
Nudity level similar to Cyberpunk
Developers impressed with Sony and the load times are surprisingly good for a game of this size and detail. They are also using the haptics from Dualsense for the game.
Consoles being prioritized so the PC version releasing later on after optimization.
Body form alteration can happen like in San Andreas but not as dramatic. People will comment on your apparel choices.
The online going to be grounded for the release. (Not like current GTAO where there’s flying cars and shit)
RDR2 also getting a next-gen patch that doesn’t overhaul the graphics but delivers better loading times and locked 60fps.
Female protagonist was contemplated around 2017 but was not finalized because it doesn’t fit with GTA’s narrative.
The age of the protagonist is supposed to be 34 by the end of the game. (What I think here is that maybe you play as the father of the protagonist during the 1970s part of the game and then as the protagonist in the modern-day counterpart.
The main character is a white male, roughly 6’1″ and has a “sun-kissed” Tan. Italian raised in America and has jet black hair.
Storms and weather effects are “genuinely insane”.
When someone asked if there is a remastered GTASA coming up, the leaker mentioned that “The anniversary is coming up, Right?”
Car customization improved upon from GTAV. Cars change with time, so does clothes and hairstyles. The older cars become less common with time and if someone sees you drive an old car, they might call it a piece of crap.
The leaker mentions that “The Mexican” from the previous leak is a very wealthy man who peddles Colombian marching powder.
The mafia is in the game but the leaker refused to share more details.
Liberty City has limited missions in the game. Mafia family’s influence is heavy there.
Pop and Rock have a huge part of the soundtrack. Pet Shop Boys have a few tracks in the game.
Dan wrote a rough idea for the game but hasn’t written a lot.
The game is “very politically incorrect.” according to the leaker.
The announcement can happen as early as spring 2022.
