Rockstar Games has publicly responded after footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 was shared without authorisation, saying the leak has been deeply upsetting for the team developing the game.
The developer said the release of unauthorised material had caused “heartbreak” for those working on the title. The comments mark the company’s response to the leak of footage linked to one of the gaming industry’s most closely watched projects.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is the next entry in Rockstar Games’ long-running Grand Theft Auto series. The leaked material relates to the game while it is still being worked on, according to the information supplied.
The company did not, in the supplied material, provide further detail about how the footage emerged, who was responsible, or whether any action has been taken in response.
The latest known position is that Rockstar Games has acknowledged the impact of the leak on its development team, while the unauthorised circulation of footage remains the central issue surrounding the title.
