Major Leak Hits Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Confirms Security Breach

A substantial leak occurred over the weekend for Rockstar Games, with a GTA forum user sharing 90 video clips of Grand Theft Auto 6 in development. The leak's authenticity was confirmed after YouTube removed the videos due to copyright claims by Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company. The leaked clips showcased varying stages of completion, from basic character models to more complex scenarios like a diner heist. The individual responsible, teapotuberhacker, claimed the footage was obtained from Rockstar's internal Slack channel, with some videos featuring the default Slack notification sound. They also hinted at potentially releasing source code, assets, and a build of GTA 6. In a Twitter statement, Rockstar confirmed the network intrusion and expressed disappointment over the leak, reassuring that live game services and project development will not be affected. The company remains committed to delivering a superior gaming experience and will provide updates soon. Additionally, Take-Two filed a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, notifying investors of the incident and affirming that steps have been taken to contain and isolate the breach, with game development continuing as planned.
