Rockstar Games responds to Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leaks FAST-MOVING

Rockstar Games has issued an official statement addressing a series of unauthorized gameplay leaks for Grand Theft Auto VI. The studio described the situation as “heartbreaking” for the development team and expressed regret that the game is being revealed through leaks rather than official channels.

Despite the disruption, Rockstar confirmed that the game is “nearly there” and remains on track for its scheduled release on November 19. The company intends to proceed with its marketing schedule, which includes an extended gameplay look premiering on Netflix on August 27, followed by a release on Rockstar’s YouTube channel six hours later.

Take-Two Interactive is reportedly pursuing legal action to identify those responsible, including issuing subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord. The leak campaign, attributed to a group or individual known as Cyberleek, has also included a manifesto criticizing industry practices and has been linked to the promotion of a cryptocurrency token. Additionally, security researchers have warned that malicious websites are exploiting the leak hype to distribute Vidar infostealer malware via fraudulent download links.
