GTA 6's map is already being recreated using leaked footage, combined with Google Earth and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft Paint.

Over the past weekend, reams of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:leaked GTA 6 footage made their way online, numbering 90 distinct videos. Developer Rockstar later legitimized the leak in a statement, saying they were "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:extremely disappointed" in the incident, but noting that the 🦄lea𝄹k had not impeded the development of the upcoming game.

, the fans are pouring over the leaked footage to put together their own map, but, unfortunately, they can't use any of the footage in their final creation, since Rockstar is hitting those who host the content with DMCA notices.

As such, users, where the map is being compiled, have had to get really creative in their recreation. Some users are employing Google Earth screenshots as stand-ins for map screenshots from the leak🅷ed footage, while others are using tools like Microsoft Paint🤪 to draw out their very own maps.

However, things become even harder when trying to find out the actual dimensions of GTA 6's eventual map. It won't be a 1:1 recreation after all, as Rockstar has always scaled down versions of their in-game worlds compared to their real-life counterparts. So far, it seems as though people are using Rockstar's own engine measurements for GTA 5's map to replicate t𒀰his new version.

Of course, this is all assuming the content in the leaked GTA 6 footage even makes it into the fin🌼al version of the game. Considering al꧋l the leaked footage is very much in progress, and there's no telling how far through development Rockstar is, it's possible we could see a very different map in the final game compared to what we've seen in the leaked footage so far. 

Just a few days ago, it was reported the hackers accused of the GTA 6 leak are now facing an FBI investigation
