GTA 6 is no stranger to leaks. In fact, many suspect that a line in the trailer – “just fixing a few leaks” – is a direct reference to a long line of details that have slipped through the cracks over the course of its development.
With the release of the game finally within view, who could have expected that there would still be time for more?
The latest GTA 6 leak surrounds in-universe names for app names that might sound familiar, giving audiences an insight into the way that the latest entry in the series will apply its famous satirical tone.
Latest GTA 6 Leak
The leak arrived on the GTA forums, courtesy of insider Tez2, who said that the following were domain names listed under Take Two’s nameservers:
- what-up.app
- rydeme.app
- buckme.app
- leonidagov.org
- brianandbradley.com
- hookers-galore.com
- wipeoutcornskin.com
Some of these have obvious parallels to existing sites like Whatsapp for ‘what-up’ and Uber for ‘rydeme’, and some others have pretty clear functions.
As for the others – if they do appear in the game – users will have to wait until the GTA 6 release to reveal themselves fully – though gun shops and clothing stores, perhaps with an added delivery mechanic might be safe bets.
What GTA 6’s Satire Might Look Like Compared to Past Games
The satire of a given game is always tied to its story and its time.
GTA 4 was focused on the immigrant experience, while GTA 5 seemed to place a greater emphasis on the deep-rooted nature of crime in several institutions like Hollywood and law enforcement. These leaks perhaps suggest that GTA 6 will be incorporating a technological angle, which makes sense in light of how technologically-driven the world its releasing into has become, also opening the door for tech personalities to come into focus as well.
The Tone of the Game
GTA 5 wasn’t exactly the standard by the series of GTA; the choice to have a cannibal as one of the playable characters makes GTA 4 look very grounded by comparison.
Of course, Rockstar’s previous story – Red Dead Redemption 2 – received a great deal of acclaim, meaning they might try and emulate a more layered story approach.
