Rockstar finally responds to ‘heartbreaking’ GTA 6 leaks

Grand Theft Auto VI has been the subject of intense leaks over the past week, prompting Rockstar Games to break its silence. In a rare public statement on its X account, the company acknowledged the Cyberleek situation and confirmed that the leaks indeed contain gameplay footage of the highly anticipated game. Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive Software, had previously filed subpoenas to identify the individual or group responsible for the leaks.

The statement expressed deep regret over the situation, describing the leaks as "heartbreaking" and emphasizing that this is not how Rockstar intended for the game to be revealed to the public. The tweet referencing the statement is currently unavailable but can be inferred from the content.

Rockstar emphasized that the team is working diligently to deliver the game and the promised official gameplay reveal on Netflix on Thursday. Despite the setbacks caused by the leaks, the company remains committed to providing the community with more details about the game, including its plot and characters. The statement acknowledges that the company needs to exceed expectations with the big official reveal and hopes that the full game, set to release on Nov. 19, will put the leaked videos into perspective.
