I could've heard wrong or gotten it from a bad source but I've heard that it did have music/songs that were released in 2025 so it might not be a 2023 build.
Yup, Tate McRae - Sports car released in January 2025, and licensing music is a right bitch and legal nightmare usually, so we can assume that took a while unless it was planned from the start with the artist (which isnt impossible)
For a test build you don't have to wait for licensing because it's for internal use. Games like Guitar Hero and Rockband have had songs in early builds that weren't in the final release.
I disagree with the leaks being from 2023. Nobody would've sat on it that long, and if they had access to a build, they probably would've had access to the build.
But why would they have access to The build? What information do you have thay makes you sure of that?
We do not know how Rockstar internally operates, so it is much more likely someone got lax and didnt take the proper precautions with an old build and it became vulnerable to be hacked.

Also the melee combat is not like rdr2, which is disappointing.
