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.

Code for Nvidia's unreleased DLSS 5 upscaling technology was discovered inside an early-access build of NBA 2K27, and modders on the RenoDX Discord channel extracted its 'Neural Rendering' files to run in other titles. They've since applied the unofficial mod to Control, GTA: San Andreas, Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, Palworld and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, altering facial detail, shadows and lighting tone.
