By Ray Ampoloquio · Sep 9, 2026 Updated by Matt Gibbs · Sep 9, 2026 Unverified photos of a boxed "Vice City: Leonida" package are unconfirmed and Rockstar has announced only Standard and Ultimate editions of GTA 6 .

Zoom image: An alleged factory worker posted photos of a large "Vice City: Leonida" box, reviving hopes for a GTA 6 collector's edition. Grand Theft Auto fans have hunted, begged , and even sued for a Grand Theft Auto VI collector's edition that does not officially exist for months following the official reveal . Now they have a photo to obsess over.

An individual who claims to work as a short-term packaging worker at a Mexican factory posted images to X of a large black box branded "Vice City: Leonida " with the GTA 6 logo, said it was bigger than a PlayStation 5 box with multiple internal compartments, and floated the idea that a "circular piece" inside might hold a disc. The thread lit up ResetEra . It is also not verifiable.

The poster has since deleted the photos, no outlet with real sources has authenticated them, and Rockstar Games has said nothing. Observers have already pointed out that the box could just as easily be a press kit, an influencer package, a mock-up, or completely unrelated packaging.

What the leak alleges versus what's confirmed.

None of this changes the reality, at least for now.

99 Ultimate , the latter adding digital in-game content. Neither is a traditional collector's edition with statues or art books. The "physical" version is a code in a box with no disc , and Rockstar reportedly has zero plans for a post-launch release.

Take-Two Interactive has not hinted otherwise.

Even if a physical box does eventually surface, it would not mean what people are hoping. Red Dead Redemption 2 had a collector's box and it did not include a playable disc either, just physical trinkets and a separate code. So a fancy "Vice City: Leonida" package, real or not, is not the same as the package as Grand Theft Auto V that fans want to see .

The only other real thing here is the drama. Killing the disc and skipping a proper collector's edition left a vacuum, and thousands are searching for something to buy that feels befitting the biggest game of the decade .

So, sure, maybe a GTA 6 collector's box is coming after launch, but since we're talking hypotheticals, maybe it's a streamer's press kit , or something that Rockstar is preparing for reviewers .

Right now, the only honest answer is that nobody outside a Mexican packaging line seems to know, and they are not talking anymore.
