A new wave of GTA VI discussion has exploded online after Rockstar Games reportedly confirmed in a legal case that at least three fired employees were connected to GTA VI leaks.

The case itself was related to Rockstar layoffs, where the company reportedly had to clarify that the dismissals were not tied to union prevention. Instead, Rockstar argued the firings were justified because of serious NDA violations and involvement in leaking sensitive information.

If true, this would be one of the clearest examples yet of Rockstar’s “zero tolerance” policy when it comes to GTA VI leaks.

Why This Matters

According to reports, one of the leaked details that appeared shortly before a firing included the last names of the main protagonists, which has led fans to believe that other information shared earlier by insider GameRoll may also be legitimate.

Alleged GTA VI Features Mentioned in the Leak

The leak claims GTA VI will include:

  • a relationship system similar to RDR2’s honor-style mechanics
  • weight and physique changes
  • underwater exploration with secrets and treasures
  • the return of a 6-star wanted level
  • different enemy types and improved combat variety
  • store robberies with deeper mechanics
  • a trunk-based weapon storage system similar to RDR2’s horse inventory
  • conflict provoking and de-escalation mechanics
  • gore and dismemberment similar to RDR2

Protagonists and Abilities

The leak also describes a system where Jason and Lucia have separate action options, including joint interactions during robberies.

It also claims:

  • Jason has an ability similar to Dead Eye that highlights weak points and slows time
  • Lucia has a weaker slow-motion shooting ability with a precise shot mechanic

World and Exploration

Other claimed details include:

  • a rectangular radar with Vice City-style pink markers
  • NPCs reacting to visible weapons with fear and panic
  • malls and skyscrapers with elevator access
  • a massive number of interiors (reportedly up to 700)
  • a secret lab on a hidden island not shown on the map

Story and Cut Content

The leak claims GTA VI will have five story chapters, and that the “Jason buying soda” scene from Trailer 2 is actual gameplay.

It also mentions cut ideas, including:

  • dual-wielding
  • tactical prone movement
  • a parody of Disney World
  • house robbery mini-game
  • and even removed adult scenes between Jason and Lucia

Still Not Official

Even if the court case confirms that leaks were tied to real employees, it does not automatically mean every leaked detail is accurate. Rockstar could have changed or removed many features since then.

But if the firing truly happened over these discussions, it strongly suggests that at least part of this leak was based on real internal information.
