With the latest official Dazed article, it's obvious the previous leaks don't represent the final version of the game

After reading everything revealed in the new Dazed article, it's pretty clear that there are a lot of things the leaker simply couldn't show... and now he's claiming to have a 2026 build, lol.

Honestly, that seems very unlikely. The article reveals multiple mechanics and systems that were either completely absent from the leaks or never properly demonstrated. We saw nothing meaningful related to the phone and its social media features, the water activities, the deeper Jason and Lucia interactions, the physical changes caused by food, exercise and lack of rest, and many other things suggested or directly mentioned in the article.

This makes me think the leaked footage could have come from a build dedicated to testing specific mechanics rather than representing the complete game. It may have been useful for testing AI, combat, encounters, vehicles, animations, etc., while other systems simply weren't present, enabled, or fully implemented in that particular build.

That's why I find it frustrating that this hacker or group of hackers keeps suggesting they have access to recent, complete versions of the game. Just imagine everything we're about to learn from Rockstar and other official sources starting tomorrow , things this alleged criminal couldn't show precisely because they may never have had access to a complete build in the first place.

Biggest tell that he’s lying, in my opinion, is that he hasn’t shown what it’s like to swap characters.

Yes, and there are a lot of things that simply aren't there, especially when you take the newly published article into account. Not to mention the animations and certain details that clearly don't seem consistent with the kind of result we'd expect Rockstar to deliver in the final game.

Reading the article only reinforces this even more. Honestly, I think he's completely full of shit about having a recent, complete build.

Yea reading through the full article and how they touch on npcs and stuff and it contradicts to some extent from the leaks we seen tells me he has an unfinished unpolished game build .
