Rockstar Games has issued an official statement regarding the leak of gameplay footage for the upcoming game Grand Theft Auto VI. The developers admitted that the incident was a heavy blow to the team, but work on the project continues.
This is stated in the company’s official statement on social networks.
Rockstar Games noted that the premature appearance of the working materials on the network was disappointing for the team, as it sought to present the game in a completely different format after years of waiting. At the same time, Rockstar Games thanked players for their numerous words of support and assured that it aims to exceed the audience’s expectations regarding the quality of the final product.
«The leak of the Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay video was a real blow to our team, and it’s not at all how we wanted you to see the game after a long wait,» Rockstar Games stressed.
The developers indicated that preparing for the extended GTA VI gameplay reveal took longer than they wanted, but they still hope that it can exceed players' expectations.
«While it’s unfortunate that the planned gameplay experience may now be affected by some spoilers, we hope everyone will wait a little longer to evaluate the game for themselves on November 19th,» the studio said in a statement.
Recall that for over a week now , unofficial new videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay have been appearing. An unknown hacker (or group of hackers) under the nickname CyberLeek has already published over 10 videos from the pre-release build of the game advertising its own cryptocurrency token.
The GTA VI extended gameplay preview is scheduled for August 27th, with Netflix subscribers getting to watch the video six hours earlier than the rest of the players.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, exclusively for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Developers from Rockstar Games have not yet announced a release date for the PC version, but it will likely arrive a year after the console release.
