GoKawiil Brief

A 192GB cache of internal Rockstar files, originally leaked in 2022, is now being combed through by fans who found a rough 2014-2015 build of a GTA VI map running inside GTA V, along with an outline for a scrapped Liberty City expansion and details on a canceled single-player DLC called Agent Trevor. The Liberty City map is only accessible through the CodeWalker editor and contains no additional content beyond its outline, while the GTA VI map fragment appears built from satellite and street-view imagery.

Why It Matters

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.

The find suggests Rockstar was sketching out GTA VI concepts years earlier than previously assumed, even before GTA V launched on PC, showing how long the studio's development cycles can stretch. It also gives fans rare insight into abandoned GTA V content that never made it past the planning stage, fueling speculation about what was cut and why.
