What initially seemed like an ordinary find turned exceptional when, upon opening the console, he discovered a Rockstar development kit, which contained a deleted version of Grand Theft Auto IV. <strong>This find included 118 GB of files with unreleased content, including cutscenes, concept art, and even remnants of a zombie mode that never saw the light of day due to development issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A console owned by Rockstar<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jan recounted that upon closer inspection of the console, he noticed a blue sticker with the words &#8220;Rockstar North Ltd,&#8221; which piqued his curiosity. &#8220;<strong>I wasn&#8217;t sure what it was, but I knew it was something good,&#8221; he commented in a chat with the site Kotaku<\/strong>. The authenticity of the contents was confirmed by Obbe Vermeij, a former Rockstar employee, who provided context about the design decisions and the reasons behind the removal of certain elements from the game, such as the ferries, which had collision issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grand Theft Auto IV - Trailer #2\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kOZ8bRAO7YQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the magnitude of the discovery, the leak has not generated controversy; instead, it has sparked renewed interest in the development process of GTA IV among fans. Interestingly, <strong>Jan, who was not a big follower of the saga before, has expressed his intention to explore more about Grand Theft Auto before the release of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the young man plans to resell the console and has already received offers exceeding 800 dollars, despite its condition. Undoubtedly, <strong>this experience is a dream come true for fans of the saga, who have been trying for years to unravel the secrets of the deleted content and beta versions of this iconic game<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young man from Edinburgh, identified as Jan, made an unusual discovery at a local market when he bought an Xbox 360 for just five pounds.
