192GB GTA VI Leak Reveals Early Map and Canceled DLCs
A massive 192GB data dump from Rockstar's development history exposes early GTA VI assets and scrapped content, highlighting the sheer scale of modern game production data.
A Tom's Hardware report details a 192GB leak of Rockstar Games development data. While the story is primarily about game content, the sheer volume of files underscores the storage and bandwidth demands of modern game production.
The leaked files include an early map for GTA VI, unreleased side missions, and alternate endings. One notable finding is a planned death for Trevor via liquid nitrogen, as well as a canceled Liberty City expansion DLC.
The source does not discuss hardware directly, so the compute/hardware angle is limited to the size of the leak itself. No further technical details about the data's format or the systems used to store it were provided.
