A fresh wave of Rockstar Games leaks just surfaced online, and this time it’s pulling back the curtain on one of GTA 5’s biggest “what could have been” moments — a full-scale Liberty City expansion that never made it out the door.

What Was GTA 5 Leaked?
On September 18, 2026, dataminer and YouTuber TJGM revealed a massive 192GB leak containing early development files tied to Rockstar Games. The archive is reportedly connected to the notorious 2022 breach carried out by hacker group Lapsus$, whose teenage member Arion Kurtaj previously leaked early GTA 6 gameplay footage. This new batch appears to be a fuller version of that same stolen data, only now spreading more widely across social media.
The standout discovery is a look at an expanded Liberty City map — a scrapped DLC that was originally planned for GTA 5. The leaked outline shows four parody boroughs split across three islands, connected to three larger landmasses, with a scale that reportedly rivals GTA 5’s own map. Only the rough outline is visible so far; no roads, terrain, or buildings have been uncovered yet.
What Else Is in the Leak?
Beyond the Liberty City map, the files include a surprising amount of additional cut content:
| Leaked Content | Details |
|---|---|
| Expanded Liberty City map | Outline only — four boroughs across three islands |
| Agent Trevor DLC assets | From the long-rumored scrapped single-player expansion |
| Cut voice lines | Includes Michael, Tracey, Franklin, and a Brucie Kibbutz–Franklin conversation |
| Early GTA 6 assets | Low-quality map renders and early models |
| GTA 5 beta vehicles | Unreleased or early-build vehicle designs |
The Brucie Kibbutz dialogue is particularly notable — Brucie was a fan-favorite character from GTA IV, and his conversation with Franklin strongly suggests Rockstar was actively planning to connect the two games’ worlds before the idea was shelved.
Could This Become GTA 6 DLC?
Dataminers digging through the leak believe this expanded Liberty City layout may not have been abandoned entirely — some speculate Rockstar could repurpose it as a future DLC for GTA 6 instead. That theory lines up with earlier reports referencing an internal project codenamed “LibertyV,” one of eight canceled single-player DLCs previously uncovered in earlier source-code leaks. Some of those scrapped projects are believed to have been reworked into GTA Online content — for instance, the “Agent Trevor” concept is widely thought to have evolved into The Doomsday Heist.
Since Take-Two has already confirmed continued GTA Online support after GTA 6 launches, there’s a real possibility this shelved Liberty City project resurfaces in some form down the line — though Rockstar has given no official indication either way.
Why This Matters?
Data breaches like this aren’t new territory for Rockstar. The company has dealt with several major leaks in recent years, echoing the broader pattern of high-profile video game studios becoming frequent targets for hackers seeking unreleased content ahead of official announcements. For now, all of this remains unofficial — Rockstar has not commented on the leak or confirmed any plans tied to the recovered files.
