A roughly 192 GB cache of Rockstar Games files has spread online, and the most substantial discoveries so far concern the single-player expansions that never shipped for Grand Theft Auto V. Insider Gaming reports that the material had circulated among a limited group before becoming more widely available. The outlet traces it to Rockstar's earlier breach rather than a newly disclosed hack.
Dataminers examining the archive say it contains work tied to LibertyV, Rockstar's abandoned plan to bring Liberty City into GTA 5. A file containing audio-zone data allowed creator TJGM to reconstruct a rough shoreline outline in CodeWalker, a community map editor. The result suggests a larger footprint than GTA 4's version of Liberty City, but it is a technical outline, not proof that a finished expansion existed.
The archive also reportedly contains mission names, interiors and dialogue associated with Agent Trevor, a canceled spy-themed story expansion. Other finds include beta vehicle models, cut dialogue involving GTA 4 character Brucie Kibbutz and an alternate version of Trevor's death scene.
The GTA 6 material comes with bigger caveats
Despite the attention on GTA 6, the newly circulated material appears to reveal much more about GTA 5's discarded plans. Notebookcheck reports that the GTA 6 portion includes old references to Florida and the Everglades along with possible early environment models. Some of those files may be low-detail assets made for distant scenery rather than a complete map.
None of the GTA 6 material has been independently verified, and old development files do not establish what will appear in the finished game. Rockstar and Take-Two had not commented on the archive when the reports were published. GTA 6 remains scheduled to launch on Nov. 19, according to Take-Two's latest published release calendar.
