In a surprising turn of events, Rockstar Games has inadvertently unveiled a trove of information regarding its highly anticipated titles. The latest update for GTA V on PC has revealed not only the folders for the upcoming GTA 6 but also a second leak concerning the Red Dead Redemption PC port. This follows an earlier incident in May when the game was successfully ported to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, leaving PC enthusiasts yearning for their own version.
As the company rolled out an update to enhance GTA V and integrate the third-party anti-cheat tool BattlEye, a metadata file was left behind, providing a glimpse into the future. Tez2, a prominent insider in the Rockstar community, took to X to share this discovery, highlighting that the update inadvertently exposed folders that were not meant for public viewing.
Unveiling the Hidden Folders
Among the files made visible were the GTA V Gen9 folder, the Americas folder, and a dedicated folder for Red Dead Redemption. The codename for GTA 6, Project Americas, suggests that Rockstar may have uploaded assets related to the game during this routine update. The re-emergence of the Red Dead Redemption files is particularly noteworthy, as they have previously surfaced through both Rockstar and PlayStation channels, with legal documentation hinting at a potential PC version.
Following the discovery, the folders were swiftly removed from the Rockstar Games Launcher version of the GTA V update. However, players who accessed the game via Steam can still view these files within the Rockstar Games directory. It remains uncertain whether Rockstar will issue a mini-patch to rectify this oversight, especially given their previous actions regarding the launcher.
Community Reactions and Speculations
Tez2 further provided links to SteamDB entries, purportedly related to the Gen9 version of GTA V and the Red Dead Redemption for PC. While the linked entry is believed to pertain to the Red Dead Redemption PC version, the authenticity of these claims remains to be fully verified.
The gaming community has been abuzz with excitement and speculation following this inadvertent revelation. Fans have taken to various forums and social media platforms to discuss potential features and release dates for GTA 6 and the Red Dead Redemption PC port. The anticipation is palpable as players eagerly await official confirmation from Rockstar Games.
This unexpected leak has undoubtedly stirred up excitement within the gaming community, reigniting discussions about Rockstar's future projects. As fans continue to dissect the leaked information, all eyes are now on Rockstar Games for any official announcements or updates regarding these highly anticipated titles.
