GTA VI keeps leaking ahead of its gameplay premiere
Leaked gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI has surfaced online, featuring a new protagonist and mechanics ahead of an official reveal. The leaks are linked to a group called 'CyberLeek' that is using the footage to promote cryptocurrency scams.
Why it matters
High-profile leaks pose significant security and marketing challenges for major gaming studios and highlight the vulnerability of intellectual property in the digital age.
Clips of what appears to be Grand Theft Auto VI have hit the internet, possibly spoiling aspects of the game ahead of Rockstar Games’ deep dive debuting on Netflix next week and its long-awaited launch in November.
I’ve seen three clips seemingly showing off the game, though two have been pulled from the site I saw them on “due to a copyright claim.” The first clip (now removed) was a quiet scene that mostly focused on Jason Duval, one the game’s two protagonists, shooting a basketball into a hoop. Another clip (also removed) featured more of the crime-focused gameplay you’d expect from GTA, including Duval hitting a person with a wrench, and also showed the return of a six-star Wanted system.
