Rockstar has reportedly been hit by another Grand Theft Auto 6 leak in recent hours, or perhaps days. In social circles, new imagery has surfaced containing the GTA 6 map, joined by associated data that’s not connected to the ongoing (but for now, somewhat silent) ‘Cyberleek’ spree.
It has been claimed by some that this new leaked GTA 6 data has been circulating for at least several hours, but at first, those included in the propagation of the files didn’t know what they were looking at. This latest issue heralds the next chapter in a monumental saga that’s seeing Rockstar Games having the week from hell.
Rockstar’s Latest Leak Reveals New Map Data
Earlier this week, a malicious operator by the name of Cyberleek started posting clips from GTA 6, and the internet erupted with conspiracy theories and wildfire hype about what was being revealed. In the days that followed the posting of the first clip, we were exposed to all kinds of content, including one video that saw the leaker flying over much of the GTA 6 map.
It was really our first ‘full look’ at the full Leonida map.
Now, in what has been claimed is a confirmed leak, an Xbox Graphics Capture file has appeared on forums and in social circles worldwide, containing ‘a significant amount of game data.’
This includes 3D models, map textures and telemetrics, and various dimensions such as the skybox height and map depths. It has effectively enabled some tech-savvy individuals to recompile what could be considered a complete blueprint of the GTA 6 map.
Needless to say, we won’t paste the compilation here.
It was claimed that this latest leak emerged after a Rockstar employee was successfully phished, and the files are being pulled apart as we speak.
