Rockstar Games implements extreme security for GTA 6 amid leak concerns
Rockstar Games is implementing extreme security measures to protect Grand Theft Auto VI from leaks, comparing its secrecy protocols to those of Apple and Coca-Cola. These measures include using window films to block drone photography, strictly controlling employee access to hardware, and employing a dedicated team to monitor data leaks.
Legal documents from a labor dispute have revealed potential gameplay details, including discussions regarding a 32-player online format. Other reports suggest changes to control mechanics, such as a new sprinting system, and a narrative inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
A recent gameplay showcase on Netflix proved highly successful, driving over 100,000 new subscriptions in the United States alone. According to Ampere Analysis, the event was one of Netflix's largest subscriber growth drivers of 2026, also successfully re-engaging inactive users.
