A photo of a stylised poster map of Leonida, the state where Grand Theft Auto 6 is set, has appeared online less than a week before the game's release.

The image shows a double-sided souvenir poster. According to Eurogamer, it is the poster included in Rockstar Games' GTA 6 Collector's Edition. The map carries the phrase "The Goodtime State" across the top.

The photo was reportedly taken during Selfridges' GTA 6 takeover, a themed display at the department store. Videotech, a Rockstar community insider, shared the picture on social media. He suggested it came from a Selfridges employee. Neither Rockstar nor Selfridges has been reported as commenting on it.

The poster is part of a premium package. Collector's editions bundle extra items with a game, and this one costs £350. It does not include a copy of the game itself, so the poster and other items are the main contents.

A leak, in games-industry terms, is material that reaches the public before its owner has chosen to release it. Here, the map was spotted in a shop setting rather than in an official Rockstar release, which is how it ended up in circulation before the game's launch.

For anyone following the release, the picture gives a first look at the layout of Leonida. The official details of the game remain with Rockstar.
