The last Grand Theft Auto 6 leak actually comes from a reliable source –Bloombergis Jason Schreier. He recently posted in the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit with a take that debunks the latest alleged debunking GTA 6 leak while indirectly revealing an important detail about the upcoming sequel.

Rockstar quietly announced that the “next entry” in the series was in development at the end of this year Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online press release in February 2022. But because official info about GTA 6 is so rare that the community soaks up leaks like a sponge. This is not Genshin impactwhere most of the leaks turn out to be real, but fans are so thirsty for information that they’re willing to entertain anything that makes sense.

On July 7, a redditor shared what they believe was detailed information about the “new GTA and GTA Online DLC” on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit. The original poster has since deleted the document they shared, but not, but not before Schreier stepped in.

“That document is fanfiction,” Schreier wrote. “GTA VI does not have three protagonists. That’s all I want to say for now.”

Of course, there were several other commentators asking Schreier for proofs and receipts, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he’s highly unlikely to compromise his confidential sources for the volatile high of Reddit power.

Schreier has an impressive track record of in-depth reporting within Rockstar Games, including a blockbuster 2018 investigation into the studio’s “culture of crunch.” Later he wrote another piece for Kotaku about the company’s improved work culture Red Dead Redemption 2.

In short, if an insider could really know this, it’s Schreier. His words do not confirm the number of protagonists, but we do know that the next part of the series will not be the three-lead model of Grand Theft Auto 5as has long been rumored.

Rockstar hasn’t confirmed much about it yet Grand Theft Auto 6. We don’t even know what the game will be called yet. At this point, leakers expect a release date of 2024 or later. Will Rockstar lend a hand by the end of the year and let eager fans know more? We’ll have to wait.
