5 fascinating GTA 6 leaks that surprised the gaming community
1) Timbaland's involvement in the in-game music
Trending
On May 15, 2023, SanInPlay (Twitter/@DjSan_), a well-known insider, disclosed that Rockstar Games is collaborating with Timbaland, a renowned American record producer, songwriter, musician, record executive, and rapper, to produce music in GTA 6.
According to the source, Timbaland will create both in-game radio station music and exclusive tracks and sounds for the game.
SanInPlay also stated that the gaming studio has spent a lot of money to provide an enhanced experience in the next untitled Grand Theft Auto game. Timbaland will be responsible for most of the scores that will play during gameplay.
2) Water surfing will be a sport in the game
According to a leak by Aleix Venturas, Rockstar Games will incorporate water surfing as a sport and leisure activity in GTA 6. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company has invested in a new gaming technology and will integrate it in the upcoming title.
The game's water physics will also be improved to provide a more realistic experience. While the Grand Theft Auto franchise has many water-related events such as swimming, boating, and others, surfing will be one of the newest activities in GTA 6, unlocking more interesting ways to interact with the open world and enjoy the gameplay.
3) A billion-dollar budget
The gaming community was surprised to learn that Rockstar Games has spent over a billion dollars developing the next installment in the series. Given that the game is still in development, the estimated cost is expected to rise over time. Many insiders have also stated that the GTA 6 budget is between one billion to two billion dollars.
The latest title, Grand Theft Auto 5 Story Mode, which was released in 2013, had an estimated production cost of $265 million. The 4x increase in production costs for the next game has certainly raised eyebrows.
4) Real-life Miami buildings
On April 16, 2023, a Twitter user named GTA6Videos shared some Google Earth photos of Miami, Florida, comparing them to leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 videos. According to the user, the buildings in the leaked videos are nearly identical to real-life Miami buildings.
Several buildings, including Quantum on the Bay Condominium, Opera Tower, Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay, Marina Blue Condo, and many others, can be seen in the leaked footage. GTA 6 is expected to take place in Vice City, which is a parody of Florida, and the building comparison unofficially confirmed the rumor.
5) No dedicated online servers
On May 30, 2023, Tez2 (Twitter/@TezFunz2), a well-known Rockstar Games insider, disclosed that Take-Two Interactive has rejected the proposal for dedicated online servers, and GTA 6 Online will most likely use the same framework as Grand Theft Auto Online.
According to the insider, Take-Two Interactive cited the proposal as costly to operate dedicated servers on an annual basis, and it does not want to spend money on such technologies for a few special functions. However, the decision was made for the current multiplayer game, and the upcoming version may include a new framework.
