Massive 192GB Rockstar Leak Surfaces: Early GTA 6 Map Assets, Scrapped Liberty City Expansion, Canceled Trevor DLC

Two months before the most anticipated game launch of the decade, Rockstar Games is dealing with the largest internal leak in its history. On September 18, 2026, a roughly 192GB archive of Rockstar development files began circulating on torrent trackers and Discord servers — and it contains a decade of the studio's secrets, including early Grand Theft Auto VI map assets, a canceled Liberty City expansion, and a shelved Trevor DLC.

The first thing to know: this is not a new hack. According to GamesRadar+ and multiple outlets, the archive is the full haul from the September 2022 intrusion — the breach that first revealed GTA 6 protagonists Jason and Lucia and led to the conviction of Lapsus$ member Arion Kurtaj. The roughly 4GB of GTA V source code that went public in December 2023 was only a fragment. This, reportedly, is the rest of it — and it dwarfs anything fans have seen before.

What is actually inside

The bulk of the archive covers GTA V's development history, not GTA 6's future. The headline discovery, broken down by modder TJGM on X, is a canceled Liberty City expansion — codenamed LibertyV — an unused, significantly expanded version of GTA IV's New York-inspired map built for a scrapped GTA V single-player DLC. Rockstar reportedly shelved it to redirect resources into GTA Online.

Also present: a canceled DLC dubbed "Agent Trevor," which would have sent Trevor on a James Bond-style mission spanning a space shuttle, an Arabian mansion, and a vast underground complex. Other finds include one fully recorded early GTA V dialogue track and the police car from GTA V's very first trailer.

The GTA 6 connection

The archive does contain early GTA 6 material — but analysts urge caution about what it means. TJGM's analysis found a 2014 or 2015-era version of the GTA 6 map that loads inside GTA V: untextured, unlit, unfinished blockout geometry. Metadata dates the map files to 2015 — two years after GTA V's 2013 release, someone at Rockstar was already laying out a Florida coastline inside the old engine, eight years before the game was announced.

Low-detail LOD renders show Leonida features like an international airport, a stadium, docks, and parts of downtown Vice City, with file timestamps from 2020 to 2022. As gagadget notes, the archive looks more like a deep-storage snapshot of Rockstar's internal servers than a targeted sabotage — the GTA 6 assets are incomplete enough to reveal little about the finished game.

Take-Two is already fighting back

The leak has triggered an aggressive legal response. Confirmed reporting says Take-Two has subpoenas out against Discord, Microsoft, X, and Google over the leaks, following an August 20 petition in federal court. Takedown waves and warnings about phishing and fake downloads have followed the archive's spread.

Rockstar Games has said nothing at all about the dump — a silence that, with the November 19 launch two months away, is likely to hold until the game's marketing machine simply drowns the story out.

Reality check: no Liberty City DLC

Fans are already asking whether the Liberty City expansion could resurface as GTA 6 DLC. Nothing in the reporting supports that. The files are GTA V-era; the expansion was canceled years ago; Rockstar has announced no GTA 6 DLC of any kind. The most likely outcome — if the assets resurface at all — is some version of the map appearing in GTA Online, where the original expansion was reportedly headed before it was shelved. For now, treat every DLC rumor as exactly that: a rumor.
