COMPREHENSIVE

GTA VI LEAK ANALYSIS

This document was made possible with help from the extended mapping and r/GTA6 discord communities as well as GTAForums.

v1.0

Introduction

On September 18, 2022, a hacker named ‘teapotuberhacker’ posted a link to GTAForums containing 90 early in development clips of the new Grand Theft Auto. He obtained these assets by means of social engineering his way into a private Rockstar Slack communication channel.

This document aims to breakdown, archive and log every detail and information tidbit present within these clips while also keeping speculation to a minimum. It's important to note that what is contained in this document and the leaks may not represent any final aspects of the game. The game is still in development, and as such, all details are subject to change. This document serves as an analysis of all GTA 6 leaks from September 18, 2022.

What was leaked?

• 90 video clips spanning from less than 10 seconds to more than 3 minutes. Recorded during March 2021, to September 2022.
• Python Code GTA6MENU.py (see “The Python Leak” in table of contents).
• “GameHeaders_Tasks” C++ code. Contains information about various game tasks for the AI, and specifically referred to GTA V features.
• Vehicle handling data from GTA V’s source code.
• 2 screenshots of PDF Americas appearing to be related to camera controls and build previews for developers.

A note from the writers:

To clarify, we do not hate Take Two nor Rockstar, the leaks were a terrible thing that should never have happened and we stand with those that were most affected by this leak, the Rockstar employees. We know just how special the game is to them and to have the big surprise ruined by such an incident was as disappointing to the fans as it was to the developers. Still, us fans loved to dissect every information we could get out of the footage and to compile them into one document.

The Python Leak

RAGE [Engine] Notes

• Tweaked Euphoria can be seen when enemies fall or the player is jumping down and ragdolls.
• Lighting and Skybox (Volumetric clouds) systems from RDR2 are present.
• The night and the ambience outside benefit from the upgraded lighting. It already feels grounded and realistic with the orange tint on the road, the darkness ahead of it, the really bright spots where lights are and how reflection is handled - This can be seen in Americas 2022-04-06 15-55-26, where Lucia is walking away from the nightclub. 
• Heavy fog - Americas 2022-04-06 15-55-26

• During this video of Lucia in a shootout with the police, a lot of fog is visible.
• Whilst fog was in GTA V, it wasn't at the amount seen in this video where you can barely anything a couple of meters in front of you.

• Some leaked clips use low detail models for characters [low_int].
• Character labels in the debug are numbered based on the stage of the story.
• Every World Event has a certain number of rules the player needs to fulfill in order for an event to actually be triggered (NotPassing for Events that don't have the sufficient number of conditions met by the playable character and Passing when all the conditions are met). Some of these rules are: isPlayableCharacter (PlayerLucia or PlayerJason), isWantedRule etc.

• The green dots on the right side of each World Event show the conditions that are met.

• RAGE uses a C++ User Interface Library called "Dear ImUI", also sponsored by studios like Ubisoft. It’s been used explicitly for GTAVI and RDR2 (according to their credits).

New Additions

These are the new mechanics, gameplay systems and new features that were not present in GTA V. Some of them are from RDR2, while others are entirely new to the series. Keep in mind that these are probably not the only new additions, as it’s very likely that we did not get a look at some more new ones in the leaks.

New Mechanics

• Crouch and stealth by crouching like it is in RDR2

• Extended cover mechanics: - Americas_1 2021-05-17 16-38-34 and Americas 2021-12-02 10-38-02. In Americas_1 2021-05-19 14-07-04 you can see a test NPC going on the other side of the wall while still in cover.

• Prone
• “Loot Bags”

• Jason and Lucia both have duffle bags. These can be seen in a couple of videos. Also when Jason is opening a shipping container and the options for "stash gold" and "stash cash stack" are available, Jason puts the gold and cash into his duffle bag - Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10.

• Underfire

• Covering your face with weapons or bats. Also works while crouching.

• Downed Self Suicide and Downed Self Revive

• Option to revive yourself after a heavy hit to health possibly similar to RDR2 horse revival - Americas 2022-04-28 13-08-47.

• Ability to switch shoulders while aiming
• Grappling During Fist-Fights
• Buddy Comms
• Buddy Ping
• Cover Mode
• Shooting From Car Window (Like GTA San Andreas Free Aim While Driving Cheat Code)
• Eagle Eye System

• Like in RDR2 - it is possibly Jason’s ability, and it's used to highlight items of interest such as jewelry, safes, and security cameras.

• Switch Holding Hand
• Weight and Muscular System  (Unconfirmed)

• Lucia looks thinner around the waist compared to other clips.
• In one video where Jason is at the motel pool with Wyman and that other character, he seems very muscular and more fit than he does in the footage of him and Lucia walking out of the motel and the one with them in the nightclub. In the motel and nightclub video, Jason has a skinnier body tone and his muscles don't show as much as they do compared to other scenes.

• There is also a mention of an Event called MultiGym.

• Interaction with objects/people:

• Pick up/carry items and bodies

• In one of the clips where you can see an online avatar carrying a body of another player. Here you can also see in the Debug menu written: CARRY SLOT<0>[HUMAN_CHEST] (Americas_1 2022-05-24 17-19-42)

• Rob, threaten, and talk with NPCs during robberies

New Gameplay Systems

• Money Laundering - There is an icon present in the Hank's Waffles video that is tracked to the car wash property. The icon is a washing machine with a dollar sign in the center. The universal symbol for money laundering. This is suggestive that properties can be purchased with the intent of laundering money.
• Fences are in the game. Car Fence (as mentioned under collectables) and Art Fence are both mentioned in the events list. Though it is unclear if they will be called fences in the game.
• Purchasable Businesses (likely linked with above laundering)
• Robberies

• Vehicle Discoveries/Compendium - In Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10, Jason rides a Maibatsu Sanchez which in the bottom right corner, says that the player has found a new livery for it.

• Hacking - Lucia carries Tracker Jammer, Immobilizer Bypass, USB Drive, Auto Dialer - Tom Henderson’s old leak about the hacker female protagonist.
• Pragmatic Cool/Chaotic & Romantic Cool/Chaotic are mentioned in the events list.

• Radio Song/Riding Pillion - Pragmatic Cool/Chaotic & Romantic Cool/Chaotic
• - The pillion is a term for the rear passenger seat for women.

• Command your partner during a robbery

• In the Hank's Waffles robbery video you can see a tip which tells you to: check in with Jason, or to hold for more options. This likely means you can give your partner commands during a robbery, since also you can see a prompt to tell Jason to surrender and also to tell him to follow you.        

• Witness System and Police Recognition

• In the Hank’s Waffle robbery video you can see under the wanted level stars written: Full Description, which implies that the witnesses have a full description on you. Once Lucia enters the police vehicle, you can see written: No Vehicle Description which quickly changes to: Full Vehicle Description, which suggests that the police have a full description over your vehicle. Also the text prompt on the left-up side says: Any vehicle you are seen entering will be known by the Law.
• Jason, during the Hank’s Waffle robbery, is seen trying to prevent the customers that have a yellow icon above their head from either calling the cops or running away.

• You can also see a female NPC inside with a yellow icon above her head, and right after Lucia leaves the diner, her icon begins to flicker, and after Lucia gets close to the police car surrounded by cops, the icon turns red, then she leaves the diner and looks at Lucia before running away.

• Sharing items

• Jason and Lucia can share items between them. For example when Jason is stealing items from the containers he keeps certain items while sharing others (Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10). Shared items seem to be in general weapons that they can't equip or weapons that they already have, food and ammo that is not for their weapons or are from weapons owned by both; the tools (for example the Immobiliser Bypass and the Auto Dialer for Lucia) and other items are kept by them. In one of the videos with Jason at the Gas Stop (Americas 2022-05-03 11-20-11), both Jason and Lucia are shown to have picked some items, and when it's shown that both picked up the same amount of food (4x Soda and 2x Wine for each), they shared half of each consumable (4x Soda and 2x Wine).

• Unlocking Doors/Gates

• In one of the videos with Jason in the San4San Hood, where he sneaks in front of the red truck (Americas 2022-02-10 20-25-15), you can see a door from an import garage building, in which in its Debug text you can see written: DoorPanel: Locked, same as the garage door. Also you can see a gate where it's written: Door: Unlocked. 

New Features

• Ability to play without the minimap — On-screen Waypoints and Map Icons mentioned under New Gameplay Systems implies that it is possible. When Jason gets on the bike the minimap appears on the screen - Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10.
• New Police System (“Time Until Cops Dispatch” - when committing a crime)

1. Also in the Hank's Waffles robbery video once the police arrive at the location they wait for the player to come out instead of rushing in.

• CCTV System (CCTV Detection Meter)        
• Ability to restrain NPCs - Lucia restrains an NPC in the Hank’s Waffles robbery video with what seems to be zipties.
• Loot Vehicles - In the Hank's Waffles robbery video for about a second you can see on the down-right side of the screen a button prompt for: Examine - Stranger SUV
• Limited Weapon Wheel - With the limited weapon assault, judging by the position of the weapons on the Weapon Wheel, you may carry only one assault weapon on your back, and one handgun or (possibly) a semi-automated gun, and one or two smaller melee weapon like a knife, one or two tool/item like a flashlight as shown in the video, and another slot for holstering your weapon and remaining "unarmed" - Americas 2022-06-01 17-16-15.
• Advanced Hijack Cars system - For example, the existence of Immobilizer Bypass tells us that luxury car theft will be harder and the existence of slim jim to unlock older cars. It seems hijacking cars will be harder - there are Events referencing the possibility of even failing to steal a car:

1. Steal Car - Full
2. Steal Car - In Progress
3. Steal Car Fail

                 There are also these Events:

4. Carjacking - Cat
5. Carjacking - Advanced AI

• More Detailed Car Interiors - Americas 2022-09-13 17-17-43
• Improved Vehicle Damage and Handling - You can see in the video with Lucia driving the truck on the highway that the car crashes are more impactful, with more parts, like the front fender, splitting apart and the hood bending realistically. You can also see spark particles at the impact with the edge of the bridge (Americas 2022-06-27 14-52-04).

• The car handling in the video also seems to be heavier than in GTA V.

• Vehicle Controls (D-PAD left for vehicle controls and right for quick options) - From Hank’s Waffles robbery video.
• Car interiors now have working GPS/waypoints in the dashboard while in first-person view. Worth noticing that the map portion seen on the screen is a placeholder of a GTA V location.
• Option to enter in the passenger seat - In the video with Lucia entering in a vehicle, she enters only in the passenger seat, implying this is an option. Also in the video with her in the same car pointing her gun behind her, you can see her in the passenger seat.
• Improved A.I System

1. Improved Enemy A.I. - In one of the videos you can see the enemy A.I. shooting Lucia when she turns around with her back to him (Americas 2022-02-07 14-18-40). Also in Americas 2022-07-22 15-33-32, the police A.I. can be seen adjusting his stance depending on the height of the object in front of him, and lowering his position when he reloads his weapon, and he also keeps shooting Lucia while moving left and right. In other videos like the Hank's Waffles robbery, the police A.I. is also seen raising their guns over higher objects like cars.
2. Improved NPC Behaviour - One of the observed examples would be that A.I no longer walk around as single pedestrians but actually travel and converse in groups. This is something that was done in RDR2. In the video where you can see Lucia with a duffle bag on a sidewalk in South Beach, three men in tourist attire walk past her while talking to each other. A man also enters the nightclub as Lucia exits the establishment. Usually in past GTA games, we enter and exit places without seeing anyone doing the same as us. NPC's are usually there at the locations or are set on a strict track outside of a location. Also NPCs can be seen standing and drinking near a bar in South Beach - Americas_1 2022-04-12 10-28-55. Also in the video with Jason aiming his rifle out of his car window in the tennis court (Americas_1 2022-09-01 14-37-21), you can what appears to see some NPCs sitting on the ground, in a another video you can see one sitting and smoking with his animation referenced as Sit_Ground_Smoke.
3. Improved Partner A.I. and Player Reactions - It looks as if Lucia isn't following Jason but Dre in the nightclub video (Americas 2022-08-03 10-05-49). The A.I. in this case seems smart enough to know where to go without having another controllable character as the primary location to track. It seems like there is one video where the locomotion team is testing this mechanic - Americas_1 2022-09-12 16-42-30. In the first video mentioned here, Lucia automatically turns around when she gets shot. She and Jason also have a specific damage animation that plays when they get shot - Americas 2022-07-22 15-33-32

• You can now surrender to the police during a robbery - in Americas 2021-07-12 12-19-51

1. Lucia can tell Jason to surrender to the police.

• You can buy gumballs from gumball machines - Americas_1 2022-07-20 17-59-49.
• Your character's clothes can become dirty - Suggested by one video with Jason in which you can see his clothes being dirty - Americas_1 2022-09-12 14-42-12.
• Ability to drop and pick up weapons - Americas_1 2021-09-10 16-37-50
• The Hair and Facial Hair Systems.

1. There are various versions of Jason visible in the leaks, sometimes he has long hair, sometimes short, sometimes stubble and sometimes clean shaven. The integrals of this growth, especially with his beard, suggests a hair growth system like RDR2. Or, at the very least, a deeper barber system than V that allows for greater fine tuning.

• Lucia appears to be wearing makeup and also seems to have a different hair color in one of the clips, and her hair is also straight compared to her normal curly bonded to a ponytail hairstyle. Americas_1 2022-09-13 16-24-02

1. From: Americas_1 2022-08-02 18-34-23 and Americas_1 2022-08-03 12-19-05

• Eating and drinking from your inventory:

1. When Jason is at the gas station, one Wine, Soda and Fruit can be seen added in the inventory on the top-left side of the screen, which means you can eat or drink from your inventory at any time like in RDR2 and GTA Online (Snacks).

• Smoking:

1. During the testbed clip of the developers testing animations with Jason, (Americas 2022-06-01 17-16-15), you can see in the left side of the weapon wheel, an icon which seems to be a cigarette one, indicating that you can smoke.

• Cop Traps(?): There are a couple of Events called “Cop Trap” in different locations. There is a chance that you can be ambushed by cops.

1. Cop Trap - Alley
2. Cop Trap - Apartment Complex
3. Cop Trap - Bingo
4. Cop Trap - Body Shop
5. Cop Trap - Bulk Storage
6. Cop Trap - Burnout Scooters
7. Cop Trap - Cafe Carraway
8. Cop Trap - Cash n Carry
9. Cop Trap - Closing Store
10. Cop Trap - Food Trucks
11. Cop Trap - Kington Hotel
12. Cop Trap - Massage Parlors

They seem to coincide with the Easy Score events.

Collectibles

Wyman Car Parts:

• In one of the clips with Lucia you can see one of devs placing a cardboard box on the ground. The box seems to have a circle icon on it, indicating that these boxes are lootable. On the box debug text is written Collectibles_Car_Parts. But another thing which you can also see written is: WymanCarPartsBoxedGenericUsed, which may mean that you can collect car parts for him. This may also be related to another event called PG Car Fence. The car part boxes have the Classique logo on them - Americas_1 2022-08-24 07-48-28.This gives both Wyman and Jason a mutual interest in classic cars.

Collectible Hats:

• In the video where Jason is in an apartment (Americas_1 2022-08-23 15-56-16), the hat the developer is playing with is a collectible. This is shown with the debug text stating it is an AmbientCollectibleHat. This suggests that one of the ambient features in the game will be to gather articles of clothing. This is further backed up as we see Jason wearing multiple hats across the leaked clips.
  

Items and Tools

Weapons

Weapon Wheel
The Weapon Wheel is seen in the following clips:

Americas 2021-06-22 20-24-48 - This weapon wheel is split into three sections: Weapons, Equipment and Gear. This looks to be similar to the different sections of the weapon wheel in RDR2 (Weapons, Items and Horse). And it looks like the amount of Weapons you can hold is pretty large.

Americas_1 2021-09-10 16-37-50 - Identical to the one mentioned above.

Americas 2022-01-20 11-18-26 - It seems this one is different. You can hold different weapons in each hand and there's an additional quick item inventory at the bottom left. This inventory can be used for consuming items such as trauma kits, pills, cigarettes, and potentially food. The amount of weapons you can carry is limited.

Americas 2022-06-01 17-16-15 - The latest one. It seems you cannot hold different weapons in each hand anymore and the quick inventory has been moved to the center left. The amount of weapons you can hold is still limited.

Americas_1 2022-08-10 12-27-03 - In this video you can see an enemy NPC shooting at Jason, and right after Jason was low on health, a tip appeared on the top-left side of the screen, and you can see written: You are injured. Your Health will regenerate slowly, open your Weapon Wheel and use a recovery item to replenish your Health faster.

Americas 2021-06-22 20-24-48 & Americas_1 2021-09-10 16-37-50 (remade) -

Attention to Detail

• You can find raccoons rummaging through trash cans and even stealing food bags:

                 From Events List:

• NIE Raccoon Climb Out Of Garbage
• NIE Raccoon Rummage Trash
• NIE Raccoon Steal Food Bag

• In a couple of videos you can see the light shining through Lucia's ear cartilage, a nice returning detail from RDR2 due to subsurface scattering.
• KneelingDesired is included in the PlayerPed animation set - Americas 2021-11-29 16-23-34, which means that like in RDR2, the player will constantly change their kneel position while crouching.
• The interiors are pretty detailed, for example in the Jack of Hearts nightclub and the Hank's Waffles diner you can see dirtiness on the floor. The diner is also highly detailed with cups placed on and behind the counter, a knives support, soda and coffee machines with coffee pot mugs under them and in other places on the counter, sinks with support for ingredients under them, toppings and essences on the counter, paper towel holders, waffle makers, cleaning bags, etc. You can also see cups on the floor.

• There are TVs everywhere in the Jack of Hearts nightclub video with Lucia but they seem to be in DVD Player mode. Bars, nightclubs, and general public areas naturally have TV broadcasting news and events. All of these details introduce liveliness to otherwise bland locations.

• In the video in which Jason picks up the Sanchez from the shipping container, (Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10) immediately when he gets on the bike, pay attention to his right hand and you will notice that he presses on the brakes first before starting the bike. Plus also pay attention to the movement of the bracelets on his wrist.
• In one of the videos in Ocean Beach (Americas 2022-07-20 08-34-27) you can see a group taking selfies.
• In one of the videos that is also close to Ocean Beach with an NPC taking a selfie, (Americas 2021-09-01 14-44-53) you can see that wind behaves pretty realistic compared to other games.
• In the video with Wyman at the motel pool (Americas 2022-09-06 17-13-34), you can see that the chairs in the pool are destroyed and the water itself is swampy.
• The Ped Collisions Ruined Clothes event may suggest a more realistic collision system that also affects the NPC/Player clothing.
• In the video with Jason entering the pawn shop (Americas 2021-12-17 10-31-22), you can notice there are scuff marks on the carpet.
• In the video where Jason is on the boat, (Americas 2022-04-12 18-36-00) while he's shooting it you can see the particles floating on the water.

• In the same video you can see the lily pads reacting to the waves.

• In the video with Lucia in the back of the vehicle in the police chase, (Americas_1 2022-08-02 20-20-00) the sheriffs in the passenger seat look out their side windows to check if cars were coming from the left/right.

• In the same video you can see some birds standing on the power line.

• In the video where Lucia is driving the vehicle on the highway, (Americas 2022-06-27 14-52-04) you can see that the bridge from where she crashed the vehicle it’s still in construction.
• When the cops arrived at the Hank’s Waffles, an NPC said "Jesus, finally". Which means that the NPCs are more aware of the events and situations happening around them.
• NPCs when attacked now run with their phones at hand - Americas_1 2022-04-13 09-08-46
• In the video where Lucia is in a shootout with the cops, (Americas 2022-04-06 15-55-26) two of them get shot and then they struggle to get up, one of them trying to stand up while avoiding putting pressure on the injured part of the body.
• Jason seems to have a different car entering animation compared to Lucia. (Hank’s Waffles Robbery video - Americas 2021-07-12 12-19-51).
• Bullets can now scratch through vehicles which also causes sparks (Americas 2022-06-14 19-28-07).

• Sparks can also be seen at the impact the vehicle has with the highway edge - Americas 2022-06-27 14-52-04.

• At the end of the video with Jason aiming his rifle in the tennis court, you can see an NPC on another court preparing to play tennis. - Americas_1 2022-09-01 14-37-21.
• You can see dead leaves on the ground in a video with Jason in Rockridge - Americas_1 2022-09-12 14-42-12.
  Like u/KathodeN said: The leaves on the ground can be textures or scene enhancements that don't happen often around the map, and everywhere we can see trees, we can also have fallen dead leaves.
• Lucia quickly crawls over a passenger seat in Americas 2021-07-12 12-19-51 to reach the driver’s seat while being Wanted.
• Jason was seen sweaty in - Americas 2022-08-03 10-05-49

Open World Activities

Multiplayer

In the bottom left of Americas_1 2022-05-24 17-19-42, “PL: 2/32” shows that there are two players in a 30 player lobby. This is because there are two slots for spectators, similar to GTAO and RDO. There is also “SH: PR_RSN1” which references the script host. After that, there is “GM H: PR_RSN1” which is either the session host or game master. GTA VI’s multiplayer will most likely be built off of RDO’s services.

Interesting Events

(For these looking directly at the full name of the events: NIE means Non Interactive Event, IE - Interactive Event, PGH - Port Gellhorn, SB - South Beach, NM - North Miami, (LO - Lake Okeechobee, LIW - Look in Window, VLIW - Look in Vehicle Window, DA - Dead Animal, IPFP - Pose for Photos - Speculative)):

Pink highlighted events are those that Lucia meets the isPlayableCharacter - PlayerLucia condition and orange, those that Jason meets (PlayerJason). Please note that not all orange or pink events can only be for Jason or Lucia, since at the time of development of the videos, some events may have not been made for Jason or Lucia too yet.

• Possible Random World Encounters

(It is possible not all encounters here will be in the final game.)

Locations

On display in the leaks and backed up by inside journalists, the game will feature a plethora of locations that focus on Miami and the surrounding areas. The two main locations of the game are Vice City, based on Miami, and Port Gellhorn, which lifts direct locations from Panama City. As well as this, it seems Rockstar have brought down and featured locations from Georgia, including a Prison and mountain ranges not present in real world Florida.

Vice City

• Location based on Edgewater

• Jack of Hearts nightclub - The same nightclub Jason and Lucia can be seen. It also seems to be a multistory building with more than 3 or more floors.

• There is a power plant behind this building. Miami has a Nuclear power plant emitting a lot of smoke but it is located in the Homestead area near the Southern Glades.

• Vice City Mambas Football Stadium
• River (seen on the minimap) - most likely inspired by Miami River, which also passes through Little Havana

• Little Haiti

• Drug House - San 4 San Hood
• Gas Station - San 4 San Hood
• Thrift Store - San 4 San Hood

Port Gellhorn

        Car Wash

Brands

As is usual with GTA, there is a host of returning brands and business names from prior games and lore. But featured in the leaks are many new brands, such as restaurants, transportation systems and clothes stores. As well as this, there are various returning brands names that have undergone branding updates.

New Brands (Not including Vehicles)

Rebrands (Brands From V but Redesigned/Updated Logos)

Returning Brands

Important to note there are far more than this in game, this is just what we have been able to identify via the leaked video clips.

Enterable Buildings

A big feature of GTA VI will be the number of enterable buildings on offer. This will directly link with theft and robbery, some of the main elements of the game’s core gameplay. As well as the significant interiors listed below, spotted in the leaked footage is a vast array of interiors at generic locations such as gas stations, pawn shops, and restaurants.

Malibu Club

Pawn Shop

Jack Of Hearts Strip Club

Supermarkets

Laundries(?) (seen in Americas_1 2022-08-02 20-20-00) 

Americas_1 2022-08-29 12-44-36: From this, it can be said that there are at least 157 interiors in GTA VI, and counting.

Game debug code:

• Creator Name: pedpopulation.cpp (3032): CPedPopulation::AddPed(CScenarioSpawnHelper) Interior:157/ss15lok_1_gfa_bespoke Room:1/room-Main

Animals

Snake (Pythons), Seagull, Skunk, Raccoon (the events also suggest you can find them rummaging through trash cans), Alligator, Boar (from events list), Wading Birds, Squirrel, Southern Leopard Frog, Vultures, Crayfish, Lizard (Grassrivers placard), Opossum - Event called Possum - Port Gellhorn, Skunk Ape - seen in Americas 2022-04-21 16-26-26

On the Grassrivers wildlife placard, there is a silhouette of a bipedal creature, seemingly a werewolf with a question mark on it. It is unknown whether this is the Skunk Ape or an additional mythical creature.

Americas 2022-04-21 16-26-26 - Jason is spooked in the middle of a cutscene known as “animal_scare.” The animal appears to be of a smaller size, and fitting inside of a container.

Possible Animals: Horse, Cow, Deer, Buck

Characters

We have two protagonists in GTA VI — Jason and Lucia. They seem to be in a relationship judging by several clips. This lines up with what Jason Schreier reported about GTA VI having “Bonnie and Clyde” style protagonists.

Disclaimer: "Bonnie and Clyde" is just a key term used by Jason Schreier. This does not at all mean that GTA VI's story will be totally inspired by it, let alone have the same ending. Schreier probably just used the term because everyone knows them and it made it clear that Jason and Lucia are a criminal couple. Besides that they don't have to have any similarities with Bonnie and Clyde.

Game debug code:

• PLAYER_LUCIA_PLAYER_STORY000_00
• PLAYER_JASON_PLAYER_STORY000_01

Protagonist heights:

• Lucia 5’3” (160cm/1.6m)
• Jason 6’1” (185cm/1.85m)

Mentioned Characters

Chester - Chester’s Music/Chester Fee Before/Post Blackmail

Danny - Danny Limit Before/Post Blackmail

Iris - Iris Laundry

Dale - Dale’s Shopwell

Brian - Acid Thief Contact Job

Universe + Lore References

Mention of Jay Norris from GTA V (This confirms it is set in the same HD universe as GTA IV and V)

Gangs

Far Right Militia is another name given to a group in the event list. It is unknown if they will be an active gang or just a group you see when exploring, similar to the Klan in RDR2.

Audio

Radio Soundtrack

In some of the leaked videos some songs can be heard. However they are just placeholders from GTA V and Online, with exception of Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

In the Hank’s Waffles diner robbery video the soundtrack used is one that was used in the GTA Online update: Diamond Casino Heist: https://youtu.be/Qi_BLBE4Y_8?si=sKsJClYRv4QILrKN, but with added synths.

Sounds

• Weapons sound better and louder than from GTA V. In the Hank’s Waffles robbery clip, we can see Lucia shoot an NPC and the weapon sounds louder and more akin to GTA IV than V.
• In the same clip; Lucia runs to take cover behind a car and bumps onto the vehicle now generates a hit event that is expressed by audio. This happens again when she runs to take cover behind Jason’s car. In previous games, you'd have to attack a vehicle for it to register as a hit event, but this time around you can also bump into it.
• When Lucia shoots the NPC in the same clip, he falls to the floor with a realistic heavy sound. In other games the ragdoll physics doesn't always have a correct sound implementation.
• The opening of car doors seem to sound more real now depending on the vehicle.
• Police sirens echo the scenery realistically.
• The reverb coming from the shipping containers when Jason is opening them sounds about right.
• In the clip where Lucia is standing on Vice Beach, we can hear seagulls and pedestrians talking and shouting.

Transportation

Horses (?):

• In one of the clips with Jason, in the debug menu you can see written INPUT_HORSE_EXIT (and under it you can see INPUT_VEH_EXIT). - Americas_1 2022-04-13 17-42-41

Metromover(?)

• In one of the clips with Jason you can see a metromover - Americas 2022-05-13 08-48-26

Other Details

• Neue Helvetica Paneuropean 67 Condensed Medium is the font used in the game for things like subtitles, tips, interaction menu, button prompts.
• On the Wyman Car Parts you can see a circle, indicating that all the collectibles and probably other pickable items have a circle icon. It also has a "DYNAMIC" flag on it which indicates it could be movable.
• In one of the clips where you can see the player with Arthur's hat on his head, you can also see him wearing some cargo shorts with a holster belt - Americas 2022-05-19-15-18-13
• A cop from one of the videos has his clothing based on the Miami Beach PD  - Americas 2022-04-06 15-42-03
• In Lucia's shootout with the cops in Rockridge, you can see a cop with a bulletproof helmet exiting the car - Americas 2022-04-06 15-55-26
• The diving has slightly changed and the animations resemble the ones in GTA: San Andreas - Americas_1 2022-05-05 10-00-47
• When reloading your weapon, the ammo magazine seems to stand on the ground for a longer time rather than despawning - Americas 2022-04-12 18-36-00
• In the video with the Energy in the Grassrivers placard, if you look to the top right corner of the pyramid diagram you can see a werewolf symbol with a question mark on it with the title: A new alpha, but due to the quality of the video the rest of the text is not clearly visible - Americas_1 2022-08-29 12-44-36
• Also in the clip with Lucia in the club, you can see a poster written on it: Sinful Sundays, probably a parody to Babylon Fridays - Americas_1 2022-08-19 14-40-45
• Some stores will not be open 24/7, similar to RDR2. In the video with Lucia entering a Quickshop in Port Gellhorn, you can see that on the front of the door there is a sign that says: "Sorry! WE'RE CLOSED" - Americas_1 2022-07-20 17-59-49

• In this same clip there seems to be a collision box for a chips bag outside of the store. Maybe you can buy food manually from the store like in RDR2.
• Unlike GTA V, where the doors do not really feel attached to anything, in the same clip you can see that the door feels like it's unlocked when Lucia enters and exits on it.

• When stealing the cash stack, Jason and Lucia only pick up the cash one-by-one - seen in Hank’s Waffle robbery video and in the video and when Jason is opening a shipping container. In the same video you can see that there is also an animation for picking up duffle bags -  Americas 2021-10-29 20-21-10
• Apparently only Jason can play dice as suggested by the isPlayableCharacter parameter on the Playing Dice event.
• In the video where Lucia can be seen shooting from the back of the truck (Americas_1 2022-08-02 20-20-00), there seem to be a couple of boxes that look like weapons or ammo crates.
• It appears that a dithering fade effect is in place during the loading of objects into the game world, which help mitigate the sudden appearance of objects and make the transition smoother; it would almost never become jarring as long as they increase its render distance due to a more gradual and seamless introduction of objects as they come into view - Americas 2022-06-17 17-14-50, Americas 2022-07-08 19-10-17, Americas 2022-07-13 16-47-50.
• Lucia can also drive Jason’s personal vehicle which you can see in the highway video - Americas 2022-06-27 14-52-04
• The stores also seem to have more variety than these in GTA V due to the focus on robberies (like Jason's special ability) that seem to be much more unique with the stores.
• Lucia physically used her hands to close the car door of the police car before opening it (Hank's Waffles robbery video).Jas

State of the Game?

The game is most likely in a polishing and debugging phase

In the clips with their date on 12 and 13 September 2022 (Americas_1 2022-09-13,  Americas_1 2022-09-12), you can check the tag of the videos and you can see the name of the exe running: game_win64_bankrelease.exe

By doing so with other clips you can see that there are videos running on game_win64_beta.exe and one running on game_win64_debug.exe

• “Bankrelease” is a debug build that aims at being “feature complete,” while beta adds on extra functionality and aims for being “content complete.”

• If you’re unfamiliar with those terms, Feature Complete essentially means that the game has full UI functionality and the core gameplay features are all there and playable. Content Complete means that all of the game’s content is now there and playable, but it may be visually unrefined and have a lot of bugs or glitches present. From a Content Complete state, the dev team would generally launch into a “polishing” phase, which can take wildly different amounts of time depending on the size of the game and the work that needs to be done to bring it up to a standard.

• To compare it with other similar situations in game development, in June 2022 it was announced that Final Fantasy XVI was “content complete” and the team was focusing on polishing and debugging. And that game comes out on June 22, 2023.

The Python Leak

This code was leaked alongside the game’s footage on September 18th 2022, but goes unnoticed most of the time. It is a python code which is related to the menu, and not the game’s code. It suggests that one of the main color schemes for GTA VI might be purple and white, specifically the menu.

“#americas is purple background with white text”

The hex color for the purple is #800080, which appears like this.

THE END.
