Rockstar Games is dealing with yet another Grand Theft Auto 6 leak that appears unrelated to the ongoing CyberLeek video releases. New files containing map data, 3D models, textures, and telemetry have circulated in online communities, giving technically skilled users the material to reconstruct a detailed blueprint of the Leonida map.
The material is described as an Xbox Graphics Capture file that includes a substantial amount of game data. In addition to map textures and 3D models, it reportedly contains telemetrics and dimensional information such as skybox height and map depths. Individuals examining the files have used them to compile what some are calling a complete structural outline of the open world. The data is said to have been circulating for at least several hours before its significance became clear to those sharing it.
This leak is being treated as distinct from the CyberLeek campaign. That source has focused on short gameplay videos showing Jason Duval driving, fighting, flying, and moving through the world, along with earlier map screenshots. One of those videos included an aerial pass that gave the first broad visual look at much of Leonida. The new files go further by providing the underlying asset and measurement data rather than rendered footage.
Claims circulating with the files suggest the material originated from a successful phishing attempt against a Rockstar employee. No official confirmation of that origin has been provided by the company. As with previous leaks this week, the files have spread through forums and private channels while public posts face rapid removal efforts.
This new leak adds even more pressure to an already difficult stretch for the studio. CyberLeek videos have continued to appear in recent days, including a hypercar sequence after a brief pause, while Take-Two has moved forward with DMCA subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord seeking records tied to the CyberLeek accounts and related servers. A separate data dump of this type raises the possibility of more than one point of exposure inside or connected to the development environment.
Leonida, the state that serves as the setting for GTA 6, has been the subject of intense fan mapping for years based on trailer details and environmental clues. Earlier CyberLeek map images already outlined five counties and various named locations. The new capture data appears to supply higher-fidelity structural information that goes beyond those screenshots, allowing reconstructions that include more precise proportions and layout elements.
Rockstar and Take-Two have not issued specific public comments on this latest set of files. The pattern of the past week shows the companies responding primarily through takedown notices and legal requests for identifying information rather than detailed statements. Whether this map data set leads to additional subpoenas or internal security actions remains to be seen.
For players following the leaks, the distinction between the two sources matters. The CyberLeek videos offer direct views of gameplay systems, vehicle handling, and character movement. The map capture files provide a different kind of insight into the scale and construction of the world itself. Together they form the most extensive unofficial look yet at a game still weeks away from its planned Netflix Extended Look and months from launch.
The appearance of a second, apparently independent leak so close to the previous ones underscores the difficulty of containing material once it leaves controlled systems. As more of the data is examined and shared, the full extent of what has been exposed will become clearer. For now, Rockstar is managing multiple streams of unreleased GTA 6 content at the same time and trying to put fires out on all fronts.
