The documents also reveal a number of the content that never made it into GTA V. One of the few criticisms geared toward the second-best-selling recreation of all time has been its lack of single-player DLC just like the high-quality The Lost and the Damned from GTA IV. But it seems that there have been plans for similar expansions in GTA V, which include ones set in North Yankton and Liberty City, in addition to a GTA V Trevor enlargement, which we noticed in the preceding leak. Some of the canceled unmarried-participant DLC made it into GTA Online.
