In a surprising move, Rockstar confirmed the veracity of the hack, which until then was still being touted by some as a very elaborate hoax. The original GTAForums thread was later reinstated, albeit locked for new comments, and with all links to stolen material removed. Messages on both sites explained that they were complying with requests from Take-Two to remove any and all copyrighted material. The next day, both GTAForums and the GTA 6 subreddit removed threads featuring the leaked content. As reported by VGC, takedown requests appeared to come from individuals with Rockstar email addresses, all but confirming that the leaks were legitimate. Later that same day, leaked videos on multiple platforms were removed at the request of Take-Two Interactive.

The hacker also shared what looks to be various GTA 6 assets, and code from the game. “Here are 90 footage/clips from GTA 6,” they wrote. The leak was from a user named “teapotuberhacker” who also claimed to be the same person who hacked the ride-hailing app Uber earlier this month. The clips also seemingly confirmed some rumors about GTA 6 that were already spreading online, such as the existence of male and female protagonists. Various clips, with unfinished assets, showed off several elements of the game in development including parts of the world, gunplay, and NPC AI. The leaks quickly spread to other social media sites like Twitter and YouTube. On September 18, it became an unexpected home to leaked assets from the still-in-development Grand Theft Auto 6. GTAForums is one of the most popular online discussion boards to talk about all things Grand Theft Auto.

While undoubtedly still popular, continuing to hype a decade-old game was wearing thin for some fans and the announcement of the next GTA game felt long overdue. “We look forward to sharing more as soon as we are ready, so please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official details.”īefore the announcement, Rockstar mainly discussed the ongoing success of Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, both of which were receiving next-gen updates.
