Malware Disguised as Leaked GTA 6 Copies Are Popping Up on Piracy Sites
No, despite claims online, there is not a downloadable and playable build of GTA 6 floating around on piracy sites.
Despite claims of downloadable and playable GTA 6 builds on piracy sites, experts from NordVPN warn that these downloads are, in fact, malware. The leaker "CyberLeek" began posting alleged gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 earlier this week, triggering a surge of fake news, misleading claims, and impersonations on social media.
Some users have even suggested that a playable version of the game is floating around the internet. However, experts warn that fans looking for leaks or removed clips might land on unfamiliar sites, which attackers exploit. The situation is reminiscent of a similar incident in late 2023, when Insomniac Games was hacked, releasing a playable version of Marvel's Wolverine online.
Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have yet to comment on the matter, leaving fans to speculate. Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to unveil its gameplay on August 27 via an event on Netflix and YouTube, with the game releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 on November 19.
