Latest 'GTA 6' leaks reveal strip club setting and new slow-motion camera
Grand Theft Auto VI is facing significant leaks, including gameplay footage showing new mechanics like a slow-motion camera. Rockstar Games and Take-Two are pursuing legal action against the leakers while preparing for an official reveal.
Why it matters
The incident underscores the challenges major gaming studios face regarding intellectual property protection and the impact of leaks on marketing strategies.
Grand Theft Auto VI is being plagued by more leaks than a sinking ship, beginning with the trailer three years ago, and continuing into this week with a gameplay release that sees the protagonist, Jason Duval, robbing a gas station convenience store, escaping in a car, suffering a slow-motion car crash, and then escaping into a strip club.
'GTA 6' file size: How large will the game be?
Some of these gameplay elements will definitely be familiar to long-time fans of the series, but the slow-motion camera interrupting the regular game speed is definitely a novelty, and probably something Rockstar Games wanted to keep secret, given that Rockstar still hasn't revealed actual gameplay. In fact, they've been saving the biggest reveal for a Netflix launch on Thursday, Aug. 27th at 3 p.m. ET, which is itself an unprecedented move for a game release.
