There has been some buzz surrounding a supposed leak of a portion of the map for the highly anticipated game GTA 6, developed by Rockstar Games. However, it’s important to note that the term “leak” is used loosely here, as its authenticity is highly questionable.
While it is very likely to be a fake, it’s worth considering that similar situations have occurred. Notably, the map for Red Dead Redemption 2 was leaked online before its official unveiling, and at the time, many believed it to be a forgery, only to discover later that it was genuine.
Although it’s unlikely that the current map leak will have the same outcome, it’s still worth being mindful of the possibility. The leak originates from a Twitter account called GTA 6 Spam, which lacks any credible history of leaks.
While this is a noteworthy concern, it’s worth mentioning that some of the most significant leaks in history have come from anonymous sources without any prior track record.
Regarding notable leaks, last year, an early version of GTA 6 was leaked online, revealing some aspects of the game’s map or, at the very least, an early iteration of it—the recent leak attempts to expand upon this previous leak by introducing new information.
In the accompanying Image below, the left side of the map corresponds to the area featured in the leak above, while the right side, displaying fewer markings on the screen, is entirely new.
Notably, there are suspicions that this new section is generated by artificial intelligence for several reasons. Firstly, if this portion were genuine, it would likely have leaked alongside the previous leak. Furthermore, noticeable differences include indications that the image is computer-generated, such as unusual text.
Here’s the tweet:

Currently, it is impossible to provide a definite confirmation regarding the authenticity of this information. However, all indications strongly suggest that it is false.
Therefore, it is advised to approach it with skepticism. It is important to note that this is an unofficial source, making it even more likely to be untrue. Nonetheless, rumours are circulating about the potential unveiling of GTA 6 sometime this year.
If this rumour proves accurate, there might be a chance to glimpse its map. However, it is more plausible for such a reveal to occur closer to the game’s official launch, which is unlikely to happen this year.
