<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidU9CJwn3frfPr" /><meta charset="utf-8" /><strong>GTA 6 leaked screenshot:&nbsp;</strong>GTA 6 is not officially out yet, but some leaked images of GTA 6 maps seem to have taken the gaming community by storm. The leaked maps allegedly showing GTA 6 new locations and cities first surfaced on Reddit. 12 cities and towns were shown in the images, with a very large water body that left GTA fans drooling and speculating. However, gamers need to get their nerves under control and take these developments with a pinch of salt.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Know why GTA-6 leaked images could be fake</strong></h2>

<p>The creator of the GTA gaming series, Rockstar Games, has not officially acknowledged or validated the claims made in the leaked maps. The video gaming company confirmed in February 2022 that the development of GTA-6 was underway.</p>

<p>An unprecedented GTA-6 leak also happened in September last year. 90 videos and screenshots from the game were leaked online. Rockstar Games had officially acknowledged and authenticated the leaks back then, while it struggled to get the leaked information scrubbed off the internet. However, in the latest GTA leak case, Rockstar Games is yet to offer any official statement.</p>

<h2><strong>GTA-6 locations as per the leaked maps</strong></h2>

<p>The leaked maps feature several towns like Yorktown and cities north of Port Gelhorn. If true, these new additions would give gamers new places to explore on the Vice City map. The planet would feel more alive and realistic if there were more cities and towns in the game, increasing immersion.</p>

<p>Some highlighted buildings and landmarks are also shown in the leaked maps:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Yorktown</li>
	<li>LO Prison</li>
	<li>Mamba's Stadium</li>
	<li>Industrial Facility</li>

<h2><strong>A massive lake revealed in leaked maps</strong></h2>

<p>GTA 6 contains a sizable inland water body, similar to the Alamo Sea in Grand Theft Auto 5. A sizable lake with the name "Lake Leonida" is seen on the leaked map; this lake has never appeared in any of the editions.</p>

<h2><strong>Latest information on GTA 6 release date</strong></h2>

<p>The release date for GTA 6 has not been officially announced by Rockstar. However, it has been anticipated by the gaming community that the GTA-6 version could come out in 2025 or early 2026 as per the regular gaming release cycle.</p>

GTA 6 leaked screenshot: Images of expanded map and large lake go viral, Know why they could be fake

<p>Rockstar Games executives may be scratching their heads after more than 90 videos of the gameplay of its under-development Grand Theft Auto 6 were&nbsp;leaked on myriad social media platforms on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reportedly, a user named 'teapotuberhacker' on GTAForums claimed that they were behind the leak which comes from a test build of GTA 6. The post, which has been deleted since was captioned as saying, "Here are 90 footage/clips from GTA 6. It's possible I could leak more data soon, GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build."</p>

<p>The authenticity of the videos can be gauged by the fact that Rockstar Studios is working round the clock to take down the gameplay videos on YouTube and other social media platforms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the leaked videos, a player-character named Lucia alongside her accomplice Jason, in true GTA style robs a waffle restaurant.&nbsp;</p>

GTA 6 gameplay videos leaked. Shows city location and the new protagonists

<p>After criticizing video games in the wake of a school shooting in Florida last month, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with industry executives on Thursday to discuss what the president believes is a link between the games and violent acts.</p>

<p>Trump, a Republican, cited the influence of video games after a 19-year-old gunman was accused of killing 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida and injuring more than a dozen others. &ldquo;I&#39;m hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people&#39;s thoughts,&rdquo; he said last month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The White House said that Thursday&rsquo;s meeting will be the first of several and will include an industry trade group, conservative activists and members of Congress, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.</p>

<p>Also attending will be executives from two video game-makers, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, which owns Rockstar Games Inc, and ZeniMax Media Inc, which owns Bethesda Softworks.</p>

<p>The purpose of the meeting will be &ldquo;to discuss violent video-game exposure and the correlation to aggression and desensitization in children,&rdquo; White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.</p>

<p>Trump has made the issue personal by mentioning his concern for his 11-year-old son, Barron. &ldquo;I look at some of the things he&#39;s watching, and I say, how is that possible?&rdquo; he said last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The president also has spoken for the need for a new ratings system for games. Currently, the industry employs its own system, which rates games for violence and sexual content.</p>

<p>Dan Hewitt, a spokesman for the Entertainment Software Association, whose CEO will attend the White House meeting, said studies have established no connection between video games and violent conduct.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Like all Americans, we are deeply concerned about the level of gun violence in the United States,&rdquo; Hewitt said. &ldquo;Video games are plainly not the issue: entertainment is distributed and consumed globally, but the U.S. has an exponentially higher level of gun violence than any other nation.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In addition to Take-Two and ZeniMax, the association&#39;s members include some of the biggest names in the industry such as Electronic Arts Inc, Activision Blizzard Inc, Nintendo Co Ltd, Sony Corp and Tencent Holdings Ltd.</p>

Trump had criticised video games after the shooting, saying 'I'm hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people's thoughts'

After criticizing video games in the wake of a school shooting in Florida last month, U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with industry executives on Thursday to discuss what the president believes is a link between the games and violent acts. Trump, a Republican, cited the influence of video games after a 19-year-old gunman was accused of killing 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida and injuring more than a dozen others. “I'm hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people's thoughts,” he said last month. The White House said that Thursday’s meeting will be the first of several and will include an industry trade group, conservative activists and members of Congress, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. Also attending will be executives from two video game-makers, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, which owns Rockstar Games Inc, and ZeniMax Media Inc, which owns Bethesda Softworks. The purpose of the meeting will be “to discuss violent video-game exposure and the correlation to aggression and desensitization in children,” White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said. Trump has made the issue personal by mentioning his concern for his 11-year-old son, Barron. “I look at some of the things he's watching, and I say, how is that possible?” he said last week. The president also has spoken for the need for a new ratings system for games. Currently, the industry employs its own system, which rates games for violence and sexual content. Dan Hewitt, a spokesman for the Entertainment Software Association, whose CEO will attend the White House meeting, said studies have established no connection between video games and violent conduct. “Like all Americans, we are deeply concerned about the level of gun violence in the United States,” Hewitt said. “Video games are plainly not the issue: entertainment is distributed and consumed globally, but the U.S. has an exponentially higher level of gun violence than any other nation.” In addition to Take-Two and ZeniMax, the association's members include some of the biggest names in the industry such as Electronic Arts Inc, Activision Blizzard Inc, Nintendo Co Ltd, Sony Corp and Tencent Holdings Ltd. It will not be the first time video game-makers have been called to the White House in the wake of a school shooting.
