All GTA 6-related leaks, release dates, and rumors surfaced so far in 2023
Starting with the allegedly leaked Vice City map, which has garnered the most attention thus far. On March 16, 2023, a Redditor named u/tusstaster shared a new map of Vice City, claiming it was obtained through leaks.
The user claimed that the new map will be far larger than the one from Grand Theft Auto 5, with the potential for future growth.
Several fans thought it was a counterfeit GTA 6 map, though, because the Reddit thread was suddenly deleted.
On March 7, 2023, a trustworthy source released another piece of game-related information even though the validity of the leaked map could not be confirmed. Tom Henderson, an author at Insider Gaming, published a report stating that Rockstar is planning a 2024 release date for the upcoming game and that it will most likely abandon the old-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles.

To ensure that enough gamers are using the new-generation PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles before the release of GTA 6, Tom claims that the gaming company has been aiming for a 2024 release date since 2021.
On March 10, 2023, Tez2 (Twitter/@TezFunz2), another reliable insider, stated that Rockstar could tease the upcoming game during the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto 5. Also, they said that any news about it may appear as early as June or July 2023; if this occurs, fans might soon learn anything new about the highly awaited game.
Tez’s statement is consistent with another data leaker, Matheusvictorbr- (Twitter/@Matheusbr9895_), who tweeted on March 20, 2023, that Rockstar is planning to provide fans with a GTA6-related update very soon.
Given the aforementioned facts, it is reasonable to predict that a GTA 6 update will happen shortly. For any formal announcements, readers are recommended to monitor Rockstar’s newswires.
