In 2011, Rockstar Games released the very first trailer of what we now know as Grand Theft Auto V. As soon as the first trailer popped up, it created a global flurry of hype around the then-unreleased game and motivated gamers to start mapping out the GTA V world.\u00a0Jump to 2022, and we\u2019re seeing the same thing<\/strong> happening again with GTA 6, except, in this case, the reference material that mappers are using are leaked images and video footage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Note: We\u2019ve covered the leak ad nauseum<\/em>, but feel free to catch up on some features we spotted in the GTA 6 leaked footage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games are such sticklers for the rule of not using leaked content – as modders will very well know – these cartographers in training <\/strong>cannot simply paste leaked images on a blank page and call it a map. Some will know this better than others, as this was a strategy that some earlier mappers<\/a> employed on various GTA forums. This particular action led to the mappers\u2019 hard work being taken down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, mappers have taken numerous precautions to ensure that anything they use is not subject to the intense DMCA takedowns<\/strong> that Take-Two Interactive is currently pursuing or the community guidelines or sensibilities of GTA forums and their moderators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mappers are going so far as to make crude recreations<\/strong> of various scenes depicted in the GTA 6 leaks – which Rockstar have confirmed are legit – so that their images<\/a> don\u2019t set off any alarms or put up any red flags. But it isn\u2019t just mappers who are getting involved with this project, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
