New GTA 5 Leak Suggests Rockstar Had Ambitious, City-Sized DLC Plans That Were Ultimately Scrapped

Dataminers said 192GB of files reveal mission names, interiors and cut Trevor content from a planned Liberty City expansion.

  • On September 18, 2026, roughly 192GB of internal Rockstar Games files surfaced online, exposing extensive cut content from the cancelled LibertyV expansion for GTA 5.
  • Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser confirmed the Trevor DLC was axed to prioritize Red Dead Redemption 2, while the studio shifted resources toward GTA Online's multiplayer updates.
  • Dataminers unearthed Agent Trevor mission names, unused vehicles, and early map assets, indicating the planned Liberty City expansion was significantly larger than the version in GTA 4.
  • Speculation persists about Liberty City potentially appearing in GTA VI, though reports caution that the assets are old and there is no evidence of reuse.
  • With GTA VI set for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar has not commented on the leaked files.
