Rockstar Reacts to Catastrophic GTA 6 Leaks

Rockstar Games has officially reacted to the Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay videos that have been leaking online daily. The company described the situation as devastating for its team, while confirming it will reveal official gameplay in a live stream tomorrow.

The Impact of the Leaks on the Team

In an official statement, Rockstar said that seeing the leaks was "devastating" for the team. The company regretted that spoilers are circulating on social media months before the game's release. According to the developer, to say that having gameplay videos leaked this way was devastating would be an understatement.

Rockstar stated that this was not how it intended for players to see the game after all this time. The company regretted the delay in finalizing the title and sharing more official details, as well as providing the community with the desired information.

The Origin and Nature of the Attack

The leaks began after a hacker obtained a test version of the game. Under the pseudonym CyberLeek, a group or individual published a series of unauthorized gameplay videos. This material contains nudity, and the author began demanding that the public purchase a specific cryptocurrency to release new content.

The leaked videos expose details about Leonida, the fictional state that serves as the game's setting. Among the leaked scenes are survival and RPG elements, such as fuel gauges in vehicles, stealth mechanics, non-lethal weapons, and side activities, including a "nudist city."

Evidence of Access to Playable Version

Rockstar's concern grows with the indication that the intruder has access to a playable and current version of the title. This suggests that the security breach goes beyond old video files, increasing the severity of the incident. The CyberLeek group published a manifesto criticizing video game industry practices, such as digital pre-orders and the removal of offline features.

Take-Two Interactive's Legal Reaction

Take-Two Interactive, the developer's parent company, reacted immediately to the incident. The company took legal action and sent subpoenas to technology platforms, including Microsoft, Discord, and X. The goal is to break data confidentiality and identify the IP addresses behind CyberLeek.

Confirmation of the Official Event

Despite the crisis, Rockstar's schedule remains on track. The company maintains the "Extended Look" showcase for this Thursday, the 27th. This will be the first official video material since the May 2025 trailer. The broadcast will take place on Netflix before being released on YouTube, showing the interaction between protagonists Jason and Lucia.

Rockstar thanked the community for its messages of support over the past week. The company reiterates that it is determined to deliver something at the level players expect and deserve, asking them to wait until November 19 to experience the game for themselves.
