GTA VI leaks: Rockstar breaks silence as Lucia spoiler clips go viral, calls them 'heartbreaking'

Rockstar Games has finally confirmed that leaked footage of their highly anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto VI, is authentic. In a statement posted to social media, the studio expressed that watching the game reach the public through leaked footage was heartbreaking, as it was never their intention for players to see the game after years of waiting. The post quickly gained popularity, with over 380,000 likes in its first hour, marking the first time Rockstar had officially acknowledged the leaks were legitimate.

Rockstar also apologized for the lengthy delay in bringing GTA VI to players, from completing development to showcasing real gameplay. The studio assured fans that the game is nearly done and promised to deliver something that meets the high expectations of the community. However, the timing of the leak was not random, as a cyber leak group had promised to release actual story spoilers, including details about the character Lucia, this week.

The studio's statement came a day before its official GTA VI gameplay premiere on Netflix, which now risks feeling like old news to those who have already seen the leaks.
