Rumors and Leaks

The GTA Five Rumors and Leaks page collects information about upcoming updates and DLC for Grand Theft Auto five and Grand Theft Auto Online.

EditGTA Online Microtransactions

A file discovered on the servers for Rockstar Games’ website suggests microtransactions permitting players to purchase in-game money could be a part of GTA Online, the soon-to-be-released multiplayer component of GTA Five. [1]

A user on Reddit has found that the Store section of the pause menu requests a file on Rockstar’s servers. That file has listings for the Atomic Blimp (a bonus included with early copies of the game) and content from the Special Edition and Collector’s Edition of the game, which it unsurprisingly seems will be made available for purchase at some point.

What does come as a surprise are the listings for four different “Cash Cards” ranging from $100,000 to $1,250,000. These are accompanied by pics (seen here) and the following description: “Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character’s bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting.”

EditOld Rumors and Leaks

For several years, this page documented Rumors and Leaks about GTA Five, all of which have been proved or disproved as of GTA Five’s release on September 17, 2013. Note that this wiki now contains many answers to questions below including the following:

Additionally, we are already thinking about Grand Theft Auto 6, which is yet to be announced:

Rumors and leaks of GTA five details have leisurely began to pack the vacuum of information surrounding GTA Five. This page collects unconfirmed — but plausible — Grand Theft Auto five rumors, along with adequate sources for each.

EditMap Leaked for GTA Five

The GTA five map has been faked repeatedly, but a latest leak claims to showcase a map that’s almost identical to well-researched fan maps and has been identified widely as the actual GTA five map.

There was recently a map made by fans. Of course this map was near to the actual map above before the real map was shown by rockstar games.

There is also a YouTube movie which was also made by fans and shows how this map was put together.

EditNovember two thousand twelve Rumor

On November 7th, GamingIllustrated claimed to have leaked information from the December two thousand twelve issue of Game Informer. The information supposedly included Albert DeSilva (a half-American/half-Puerto Rican forty two year old) and Dougie Vejo (a youthful criminal) as playable characters in addition to a mission called Alimony. [Two]

The rumor was quickly debunked by Game Informer staff, including senior features editor Matt Helgeson, who said on Twitter “there’s a supposed ‘leak’ of info from our GTA V cover story going around that is total bulls***.” [Three]

Actual news and details about Grand Theft Auto V will be available on IGN the week of November 12th, including a live rewind theater of the 2nd trailer on November 14th. [Four]

EditVehicle List Leak

On May 15, 2012, it was discovered that the Max Payne three disc may have information on Grand Theft Auto V’s vehicles buried in its source code. This has happened before with Hooligan and Crimson Dead having source code that contained Grand Theft Auto information.[Five]

A total list of vehicle names has been extracted from the code and posted below.

EditRelease Date Rumors

• A release calendar leaked by “a major UK High Street retailer” suggests an Autumn two thousand twelve release window. [6]
• Sterne Agee financial analyst group predicts that GTA V will arrive in early two thousand thirteen to permit Rockstar extra time to grind the game. [7]
• A picture of a flyer from Canadian retailer Future Shop (taken by IGN reader Antonio LaRosa [8]) displays a release window of Winter 2012.

• A listing on GameStop’s UK site shows a 01/03/2013 release date. [9]

• Machinima.com director Olli43 uploaded a movie to Youtube with a picture he had taken at his local Blockbuster. He searched for Grand Theft Auto V in the catalog of the store and the release date was set to Ten/26/2012:

EditMap Leaked for GTA V 

There was recently a map made by fans. Of course this will not be the real one, but we do expect this to be somewhat close to the real map.

There is also a YouTube movie which was also made by fans and shows how this map was put together.

EditEx-Rockstar Information Leak

An Examiner article publicized a large chunk of GTA5-related rumors, stating the following:

“It has recently been brought to our attention that a poster over on the official GameSpot forums have posted a massive list of unreleased information about the future title, Grand Theft Auto V. Through a post, that has since been deleted by the forum moderators over on the GameSpot forum, along with the poster, a user by the name of Gloggle has exposed that he is a friend of an ex-RockStar employee that was fired for misconduct. Now, it seems that the ex-RockStar employee now has the intentions of leaking information on GTA V.”[Ten]

As for the information that was listed, you can find the post as a entire below or you can view a Google cache version here.

Warning: Number eight on the list contains spoilers of past Rockstar titles (RDR and L.A Noire).

1. The protagonist will be one character, and one character alone. His name is (as some rumours said) Albert De Silva. He’s a half hispanic man who was once part of a crime family in Vice City. He determined to lodge down and have kids in Los Santos. He has one son called Kevin De Silva who is your stereotypical CoD player. He’s lazy, worthless and shouts racial manhandle online and is indeed into FPS games. Kevin does admire his Dad however.

Two. Multiplayer will hold thirty two people on the Xbox and PS3. I wasn’t told how many were able to be on the PC. Just like in RDR, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to violating into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponary. The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang. Gangs can have their own terratory but this only applies to areas inwards the city of Los Santos.

Trio. The map is about 5x as large as the GTA IV map and the City of Los Santos takes up just under half of this area (so it’s a bit fatter than two GTA IV Liberty Cities). The map is (like most GTAs) seperated into three different sections.

Four. Planes are flyable, they range from World War two fighter planes to Private Jets.

Five. Cars and guns are customisable to an extent, for example, you can customise a gun to have a supressor on it and you can install nitrous into cars.

EditHere’s some stuff you might like:

1. The protagonist is the “rich stud” from the GTA V debut trailer. You get to learn more about this man in the 2nd when he talks about his troubles. You only see the protagonist twice in the trailer. Very first time is the side of his face and 2nd time is when he is driving a Deceptor (Audi R8). The people robbing the jewellery store are just with the protagonist. He is driving the van ready to get away.

Two. Gunfights are more realistic. When you are shooting a gun out of a window of a car, depending on how swift it’s going you will have troubles aiming due to wiggling cameras.

Trio. The game is due in May 2013. A more specific date has not been determined because the game is still needing six months to be fully developed. They will have a playable demo at E3.

Four. Police pursues are now way more than either running or driving. Depending on how desired you are, police may bring out riot shields and flash bangs.

Five. When someone reaches four starlet dreamed level, there will be a radio warning on some stations.

6. Radio stations now do traffic reports that are actually correct. So if you don’t know what route to take, you can check the traffic reports on your phone or the radio.

7. The in-game TV now has many more channels.

8. The protagonist DOES NOT die unlike in Crimson Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire.

9. The underworld actually has a working economy that you can contribute to by buying and selling drugs, weapons and illegal cars in single player.

Ten. The protagonist can take drugs which will have some effects. But smoking weed on the streetwalk will lead to getting a one starlet desired level.

11. Police cars will go after you if you’re obviousely cracking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also harm your health.

EditWanted levels:

1 starlet – police go after you on foot and attempt to make an arrest. No sirens, no car pursues (unless you are speeding).

Two starlet – police will still attempt to make an arrest. If a weapon is drawn then the police will begin opening fire. Police will use numb guns if a weapon is not drawn.

Trio starlet – Pursues begin and the police don’t care how they stop you, they just want to do it.

Four starlet – road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police.Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for twenty four in-game hours for someone matching your description.

Five starlet – shoot to kill, arrest only if it’s made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for forty eight in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wished.

6 starlet – military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for seventy two in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wished.
