Rockstar Games has officially commented on the recent wave of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leaks, describing the incident as "heartbreaking for our team." The statement, released on August 26, marks the studio's first public acknowledgment of the extensive footage and details that emerged online earlier this month.
"It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA 6 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," Rockstar stated. The company did not provide further details regarding the ongoing investigation or any potential security measures being implemented.
This incident follows a significant leak in 2022, where Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two Interactive successfully identified and prosecuted the individual responsible. It remains unclear if a similar outcome will be reached for the latest breach.
