GTA 6 Plot Leak Resurfaces Amid Rockstar Games Dev Dismissal
The ongoing controversy surrounding Rockstar Games’ recent dismissal of employees has inadvertently shed new light on an old Grand Theft Auto VI story leak. A detailed plot summary posted online in October 2023, initially met with widespread doubt, is now being re-evaluated after it was revealed that a Rockstar developer was fired in November 2023—a timeline that suggests the leak may have come from a legitimate source within the company.
The connection was highlighted in a recent IGN report detailing the legal battle between Rockstar and the union representing several terminated employees. The report notes one employee was dismissed in November 2023 for allegedly breaching a non-disclosure agreement.
This timing aligns almost perfectly with a now-notorious post made on the GTA subreddit in October 2023. The user, who has since been deleted, provided a granular breakdown of the game’s early story. The leak described a flashback bank robbery committed by protagonist Lucia, her subsequent release on probation, her meeting with partner Jason, and their immediate planning of new heists. It also mentioned specific locations like a nightclub called “Vault” and gameplay mechanics such as a system to detect nearby valuable items.
While the leak was largely dismissed or ridiculed at the time, the newfound context of a nearby employee termination has led the community to reconsider. Many now believe the poster could have been the very developer Rockstar let go a month later.
Comments on the resurfaced information reflect this shift. “It’s really hilarious to see old leaks that turned out to be true but got wrecked by the comments in their time,” one user noted. Another added, “Fired in November, posted in October? Clearly this dev decided their parting gift to the world was a Reddit post.”
