In a post on X , TGG said he was invited to Rockstar North last month and learned exclusive information about the game, promising, "As soon as the Extended Look is out, I'm telling you everything." Rockstar's official account replied with a gorilla and a heart emoji, a nod to his channel name that all but confirmed the trip.

Spanish streamer El Rubius followed with his own reveal, telling followers he had visited Rockstar North and would drop an exclusive video packed with never-before-seen images and full details on August 27. He called the trip a dream and thanked the studio for the invite, and he reportedly received a custom design rendered in the game's art style.
