This time, it came courtesy of the ultimate insider source: the son of Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut, who took a video of his father's work showing off what looked like downtown Vice City and posted it on Website/TikTok. In addition to the video, the leaker also posted details about the map, saying that Vice City would be twice the size of Los Santos, that there would be three major cities and four smaller ones separated by countryside, and that there would be a large lake in the center of the map.

* ContentLeak: In the decade leading up to its reveal on December 4, 2023, ''VI'' suffered enough leaks that it could very well be considered one of the most leaked games ever. Some specific examples:
** One of the largest and most infamous in video game history occurred on September 18, 2022. After years of speculation about the next mainline title after ''V'', a hacker leaked dozens upon dozens of videos and screenshots showcasing an early yet comprehensive and playable build of the next installment in the series, which confirmed the names of the game's two protagonists (Jason and Lucia, the latter being the first canonical female protagonist in ''GTA'' history) and the setting being Vice City in the present day, showed off actual gameplay complete with voice acting for the characters, and much, much more. It quickly gained notoriety as one of the biggest leaks ever for a video game, and it reached the point where [[https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/1571849091860029455 it was confirmed]] [[WordOfGod directly by Rockstar]] that these leaks were the real deal, in the process forcing them to all but officially announce that the game was in development.
** It [[https://www.thegamer.com/grand-theft-auto-6-gta-footage-might-have-just-leaked-on-tiktok-development-build/ happened again]] on December 2, 2023, just three days before the release of first trailer for ''VI''.
