Rockstar Games Responds to ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Leaks, Confirms New Extended Preview Tomorrow

Rockstar Games has issued a statement regarding the recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks and confirmed that we’ll get a new glimpse of the game tomorrow. A leaker known as Cyberleek released a few gameplay clips from Grand Theft Auto VI, which shocked both the company and fans.

Leaks that began appearing on August 18 have reportedly revealed several Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay features, including combat, driving, minigames, the Vice City map, and radio stations.

On social media, Rockstar Games addressed the recent Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leaks from the past week. The company said the leaks were heartbreaking for the development team and not how they intended fans to see the game.

Rockstar also confirmed that fans will get an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI tomorrow. The extended preview took longer to prepare than expected because the team wants to meet and exceed fans’ expectations.

Dear all,

We know that many of you have been waiting to hear from us regarding the events of the past week. It would be an understatement to say that having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time. We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know.

We are very excited for everyone to see the extended look tomorrow. It has taken longer than we wanted to get it ready, but as with everything we do, we know we need to exceed your expectations, and we are determined to deliver at the level you expect and deserve. While it is unfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers, we hope that everyone will wait a bit longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19.

We want to thank everyone in the community who has reached out with messages of support this past week — your words have meant more to this team than you can imagine. Ultimately, we are making this game for you, and without you, we would not have the privilege of making games.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Sincerely,
Rockstar Games

Following the release of his 15th Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay clip today, Cyberleek’s CYBERLEEK token, which was being promoted toward a $50 million market cap, has reportedly collapsed. Elsewhere, the Lucia Prologue poll has officially concluded, although reports claim that paid votes are still being accepted. Several of Cyberleek’s websites also appear to be going offline.

Grand Theft Auto VI launches for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19. Before then, Netflix will premiere an exclusive extended look at the game on August 27, which will later be released on YouTube and other platforms.
