A new GTA 6 leak has sparked discussion in the community: According to insiders, the game’s final chapters are stuck in so-called “development hell.” Rockstar Games has reportedly cut significant content from chapters 4 and 5, which now require extensive reworking.
Chapters 4 & 5 Under Revision After Major Cuts
A leaked screenshot circulated by GameRoll reveals major internal changes. Rockstar is said to be reworking chapters 4 and 5 after removing a substantial portion of previously planned content. The leak confirms that GTA 6 will consist of five chapters in total.
“Development Hell” May Be Tied to Release Delay
The leaker describes the situation as “development hell,” suggesting Rockstar is struggling to complete the game’s ending. This could explain the recent delay of GTA 6’s release date to May 26, 2026, which was initially scheduled for Fall 2025.
Trailers Only Show First Half of the Game
According to the leak, all trailer footage released so far comes from chapters 1 through 3. Rockstar is reportedly keeping the second half of the game tightly under wraps. Meanwhile, the weapon wheel system is still being adjusted — it’s allegedly undergoing its third revision.
The leak also mentions that GTA 6 will feature blood effects and violence similar to those in Red Dead Redemption 2, setting the tone for a more realistic experience.
New Story Details Leaked — Spoiler Warning
Additional leaks hint at key plot points, including the last names of Lucia and Jason, the game’s main protagonists. These details were shared by GameRoll on X (formerly Twitter) and may contain spoilers for the main storyline.
Earlier GameRoll leaks had already suggested a massive open world with hundreds of shopping centers and over 700 businesses. The game’s original dynamic cover system has reportedly been scrapped in favor of a more traditional GTA 5-style cover mechanic.
