GTA 6 Leaks and Hacks reveals Expanded Gameplay & Features

I’ll be honest here—few games in history have had me refreshing forums and YouTube leaks like Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar has kept a tight lid on details, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from exploding with leaks and discussions. From gameplay mechanics to a map that looks like half of Florida, I’ve been diving deep into what’s surfacing. And trust me, some of these details are mind-blowing.

Confirmed Release Date and Platforms

Let’s start with the basics. Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that GTA 6 launches on May 26, 2026, exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (NDTV). There’s still no confirmed date for the PC release, which is kind of a bummer for those of us who prefer mods and custom playstyles.

Key Gameplay Leaks and Features

Here’s where things get spicy. According to leaks circulating on gaming communities and news sites:

• 700+ Enterable Stores: Imagine being able to walk into hundreds of functional stores and malls. That’s a huge jump from GTA V.
• 6-Star Wanted Level Returns: Fans of chaos rejoice—the ultimate police chase is supposedly making a comeback (Times of India).
• Relationship Bar System: Similar to Red Dead Redemption 2’s honor system, but applied in GTA’s crime-driven world. Your interactions matter.
• Weight Mechanics & Underwater Exploration: The leaks suggest your character’s weight affects movement. Plus, treasure-hunting underwater adds a new layer of immersion.
• Enhanced Interactions: Trailer 2 reportedly showed Jason buying beer in what’s actually gameplay. This indicates everyday actions might be playable, not just cutscenes.

Expanded Map Details

One of the most talked-about topics: the map.

• The leaks confirm Vice City at its core, but with new areas inspired by Florida’s diverse landscapes.
• Locations like Ambrosia and Port Gellhorn are reportedly included.
• Contrary to earlier rumors, there won’t be a “Panhandle” or Disney-style parody park.

Revamped Character System

One leak that stood out to me was the character-switching system. It’s no longer just toggling between protagonists:

• Solo Jason Mode
• Solo Lucia Mode
• Dual Mode (controlling both characters during missions and heists)

This has the potential to change the way missions play out—think of robbing a store while managing both roles at once.

Environmental Interaction & Immersion

Rockstar seems to be pulling heavily from Red Dead Redemption 2. The leaks mention:

• Greet and Antagonize System: NPCs might respond uniquely based on your tone.
• Gore & Dismemberment: Expanded from RDR2, which already had pretty visceral combat.
• Realistic Driving: Some insiders are calling GTA 6’s driving mechanics “the best ever.”

And let me add a personal thought: if Rockstar nails environmental interaction, GTA 6 might feel less like a game and more like a living world.

Features Rumored to Be Cut

Interestingly, some of the earlier leak features appear to be scrapped:

• On-foot music listening
• Dual-wielding weapons
• Fully nude adult content
• Prone movement

While a bit disappointing, it probably means Rockstar is polishing the experience instead of overwhelming it with gimmicks.

Potential Hacks and Online Speculation

Now, about hacks—this is where things always get murky. Communities are already buzzing with ideas about modding, custom servers, and inevitable exploits once GTA Online expands. Some claim Rockstar will launch GTA 6 Online with anti-cheat upgrades, but as history shows, hackers usually find their way in.

My Thoughts as a Gamer

Here’s the truth—I’ve played every GTA since Vice City, and honestly, these leaks got me excited like a teenager again. The dual character control idea feels revolutionary, and if the underwater exploration is real, I’ll spend hours just treasure-hunting.

But I’ll also say this: take every leak with a grain of salt. Rockstar’s silence might be frustrating, but it also builds anticipation. And hey, sometimes the mystery is half the fun.
