![]() We’ll update this post with more if and when they respond. ![]() We’ve reached out to Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive but did not hear back immediately. The game has been reportedly in development since 2014 (GTA 5 originally launched in 2013) so it would be reasonable to expect development snapshots to be from various builds over the years.Įarlier this month, Rockstar rolled the credits from GTA 5 and GTA 5 Online on its website, titling the page “Thank You,” which many took as a sign that it was winding down active development on the long-running and much-expanded fifth instalment in the series to focus more directly on the forthcoming sequel. It’s worth noting that these videos likely show an older build, which some indication they could be from around 2017. They also show gameplay taking place in a Miami-analog fictional city, again matching early reports about what GTA 6 will bring to the franchise. Jason Schreier, a reporter for Bloomberg and one of the most reliable sources within the gaming industry has confirmed all 90 videos as real. Various clips (many are being removed due to copyright claims as of Monday) from the leak depict both male and female protagonist characters, which does fit with other reports about what to expect in the forthcoming game. The leaks themselves appear either legitimate, or fakes created with such a high degree of attention to detail and authenticity that they have won over what was initially a very skeptical GTAForums member audience. Interestingly, the hacker (who goes by “teapotuberhacker” on the GTAForums) also claims to be the person responsible for the recent Uber hack, and says that they got the video by gaining access to a Rockstar employee’s Slack account - which is the same MO for Uber’s massive breach. The trove of data, which PCGamer discovered via a GTAForums post by the alleged hacker themselves, contains some 90 videos of clips from the game, with debug code and interfaces running and helping back up the veracity of the claims. “This is set to be one of the biggest video games ever to release, and the hype will only ramp up as 2025 approaches.Rockstar’s next installment in its Grand Theft Auto series could be one of the most anticipated video games in existence, and a new purported leak could offer us our best look yet at GTA 6. Another major confirmation of the GTA 6 leak’s impact comes from the actions that Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is taking. “The reception has been overwhelmingly positive so far, with players keen to see an updated version of fan-favorite setting Vice City and Rockstar once again showing its prowess at creating densely populated and highly active virtual worlds,” added Batchelor. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games Jason Schreier (jasonschreier) September 18, 2022. ![]() The comments on YouTube and X also reaffirmed that fans of the series are ready for more of the familiar gameplay. ![]() Rockstar Games has long been able to deliver a satisfying experience without any danger of fixing what arguably is far from broken. The actual trailer didn't reveal all that much, except that the game will be set in the old stomping ground of past titles in the franchise, and that we can expect a lot more of the same. Few Details Shared-But That Doesn’t Matter “However, game reviews and advocacy can play an even bigger role long term so if gamers are disappointed in what they get and are vocal about it, that can kill demand,” Enderle warned. “ Grand Theft Auto has been an extremely popular franchise and, typically, high interest in the trailer means there is a lot of interest in the game and suggests a very successful launch,” said technology and video game industry analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. As noted, it could still be almost two years until gamers actually get a chance to return to Vice City for more motor vehicle mayhem, yet, the audience liked what was shown in the minute-and-a-half-long clip. ![]()
