Summary
An unreleased soundtrack from a canceled single-player expansion forGrand Theft Auto 5has reportedly been uncovered by a fan. While developer Rockstar Games has extensively supportedGrand Theft Auto 5’s online mode for several years, the single-player mode did not receive any meaningful add-on content to expand upon the game’s narrative, even though it was planned at one point.
Rockstar justified the lack ofGTA 5’s missing single-player DLCs back in 2017, stating thatGTA Onlinesupport and development ofRed Dead Redemption 2left very little resources for the studio to utilize for post-launch story content inGTA 5. Curiously, dataminers discovered in 2019 thatGTA Online’sDiamond CasinoDLC was part of a canceled single-player expansion. Previous multiplayer DLCs like theDoomsday Heistwere also repurposed from assets for the story DLCs, of which there were at least three planned - a zombie apocalypse, a Trevor-focused story dubbedAgent Trevor, and anOcean’s Eleven-esque casino heist.
More recently, a November 2023GTA 5leak seemingly referenced story DLCagain, particularly the Trevor-centric expansion that would’ve seen the character in an espionage role and involve jetpacks. Now, an unused soundtrack from one of the plannedGTA 5single-player DLCs has apparently been uncovered byTwitter user GTAFocal, and is widely speculated to be from theAgent Trevorexpansion. The name of the track, Clifford, is the primary clue supporting the notion, as it’s also the name of the antagonistic Artificial Intelligence model that was featured inGTA Online’sDoomsday HeistDLC.
The Unreleased GTA 5 Soundtrack Might Be From The Canceled Agent Trevor DLC
Since the assets from the 2023 database leak line up with the in-game items theDoomsday HeistDLC introduced (jetpacks), it’s possible that Rockstar may have initially intended for Trevor to face off against Clifford, but had tocancel theAgent TrevorDLCand repurpose it into aGTA Onlineexpansion. The nearly three-and-a-half minute track also hints at an action-packed experience for fans, and could possibly be from a set piece sequence or the final mission of the DLC.
With compelling elements like this unreleased music, many fans are disappointed at the axing of theAgent TrevorDLC and all other planned post-launch expansions forGTA 5’s story mode. Conversely, it’s also understandable that Rockstar could’ve been spread too thin to work on story mode DLC at the time, as bothGTA OnlineandRed Dead Redemption 2would no doubt be very resource-intensive. And now, as the studio progresses towardGTA 6’s confirmed fall 2025 launch, it remains highly doubtful that any ofGTA 5’s planned single-player expansions will see the light of day.
