GTA 6 may still have a long way to go, but that hasn't stopped fans from being enthusiastic about it.

The first significant GTA 6 leak was a YouTube video by Inside Gaming. This leak revealed details about a leaked project called "Project Americas." The majority of leaks that came out after this were based on this leak.

The video claimed that the new GTA game would be set in Vice City and largely inspired by the Netflix series Narcos. Following this, there were several leaks claiming to know more about Project Americas, most of which were dismissed as fake.

In the Red Dead Redemption 2 game files, some modern firearms (AK47, L1A1, and a Browning Pistol) were uncovered. These shouldn't be present in the Wild West setting of the game and may hint at weapons for the next GTA game.

Some fans believe that Rockstar is testing these weapons on the new RAGE Engine. All of these firearms were utilized by the cartels in the 1980s, supporting the theory of GTA 6 being tied with Vice City and Narcos.
