A leaker has published numerous videos of "GTA 6".
This could throw back the development work and with it the release of the new "Grand Theft Auto" part.
"Grand Theft Auto" fans have been longing for a trailer for "GTA 6" for a long time.
Instead, they now got early insights into the "GTA 6" gameplay because of a leak.
On September 18, videos of the game surfaced and spread across the web like wildfire.
After initial doubts as to whether the clips are authentic, several industry insiders have now confirmed this - including the well-informed games journalist Jason Schreier.
He tweeted that he had learned from his sources at Rockstar Games that the footage was real footage from an early stage of GTA 6 development.
The material shown is not yet finished and is therefore not intended for the public.
For Rockstar Games, this leak is a super meltdown for several reasons, which not only involves work,
GTA 6 leak is one of the biggest in video game history
Jason Schreier calls it "one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games." He also discusses the implications for Rockstar Games.
For one, it will hamper work on the game for a while.
On the other hand, it could mean for Rockstar employees that their flexibility is restricted - keyword home office.
The further effects may not be foreseeable for a while.
Rockstar Games has not yet commented on the "GTA 6" leak.
However, the leaked videos are gradually being removed from the internet on various portals.
"GTA 6": Leaker may have the source code for the game
The perpetrator is probably a hacker.
He shared the video on an online forum and claimed that he had the source code of "GTA 6" and "GTA 5".
If that's true, it means Rockstar Games is in a very tricky situation.
According to
Bloomberg.com
, the leaker wants to agree a deal with Rockstar Games.
What does this mean for the release of "GTA 6"?
Since no date has been set yet, it is difficult to say when we can expect the release.
Most recently, the years 2024 and 2025 were in the room.
It remains to be seen whether "GTA 6" will be launched even later.
