Take-Two Removes Posts Showing Leaked GTA 5 DLC and Early GTA 6 Map Material
Take-Two Interactive is reportedly having online posts and videos removed when they show recently circulated, unauthorized GTA 5 and GTA 6 material. Players seeking to avoid spoilers before Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, may encounter both disappearing uploads and reposts. Tech News Vision reports that the removals follow the circulation of the material.
The material is said to come from a 192 GB archive that resurfaced online on September 18. Insider Gaming reported that it includes early GTA 6 map assets and unused GTA 5 single-player content, including material linked to a planned Liberty City expansion and the cancelled “Agent Trevor” DLC.
According to reporting relayed by other outlets, Take-Two has targeted footage and images connected to the archive. GTA creator TJGM said YouTube removed his video, which he said included a file list, a fan-tool visualization and one cut GTA 5 dialogue line, rather than GTA 6 material. Tech News Vision
The archive does not confirm GTA 6 locations, features or final-map details. PC Gamer noted that markers in shared images could be development markers or additions by the person displaying the files, while Rockstar has not publicly verified the archive’s individual files or their relevance to the finished game.
Take-Two previously confirmed that an unauthorized party accessed Rockstar systems in September 2022 and downloaded confidential information, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto. That confirms the earlier breach, but not every file now being shared or every claim based on it. Take-Two Interactive
Players who want to avoid spoilers should avoid searching for the leaked map, cut DLC files or reposted footage. Rockstar’s support page lists GTA 6 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026; it does not list a PC version. Rockstar Games Support

The removals may suggest that Take-Two considers the material sensitive, but they do not by themselves verify that every image or claim is authentic. Is there any publicly visible takedown notice, copyright claim, or archived context that distinguishes the alleged GTA 5 DLC assets from speculative GTA 6 map material?

A useful way to assess it is to look for the platform’s removal label, the claimant named in any notice, and whether the same files appeared in older, independently archived posts. Without an official Rockstar statement or a verifiable notice, I’d treat the reported connection between the removed posts and those specific projects as unconfirmed.
