GTA 5 has suffered a new leak that suggests Rockstar Games had ambitious, city-sized DLC plans for the game.
Reports emerging online today indicate a near 200GB version of the GTA 5 source code initially leaked in 2023 has now been made public, and interested parties are analyzing it as we speak. The highlight here is what looks like a Liberty City DLC for GTA 5 that obviously never saw the light of day (GTA Online’s enormous success steered Rockstar away from story DLC towards multiplayer focused updates).
According to X / Twitter user TJGM, the Liberty City DLC found in the files has been extrapolated and visualized to show just how much bigger this version of the city is compared to the one found in GTA 4. “Here's a look at the expanded Liberty City layout,” they tweeted. “This outline of the map is drawn based on where shorelines are, the lines indicate zones that play shoreline audio.”
There is speculation online that this Liberty City DLC may have been held back for GTA 6, but there is no evidence to suggest that is Rockstar’s plan.
More has emerged from this leak: Agent Trevor DLC mission names; cut vehicles, cut dialogue, cut cutscenes, and more on GTA 5. There also appears to be very early GTA 6 work in the files.
On Agent Trevor, GTA fans have known for some time that Rockstar worked on a single-player DLC for GTA 5 that would have seen Trevor assume the role of a secret agent. In 2024, actor Steven Ogg said Rockstar originally planned to make a story expansion focused on his character, Trevor, with it thought to have fallen by the wayside as the developer focused on the cash cow that was GTA Online.
Ogg was joined by Michael actor Ned Luke and Franklin actor Shawn Fonteno in a Questions and Answers session with Streamily, and the trio shed light on what they claimed was scrapped downloadable content for GTA 5 that starred Trevor as a Federal Investigation Bureau agent.
"Originally they were gonna do continuing stories of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor," Luke said, and Ogg expanded on his version. "We also had that really cool s**t of — and I forget if it was DLC, I have no idea — but where Trevor was gonna be undercover, he works for the FEDs," Ogg said. "And we did shoot some of that stuff with James Bond Trevor. He's still kind of a f**k up but he's doing his best. And we shot some stuff and then it just disappeared and they never followed up on it."
