Well, what else is there to speak about? The Grand Theft Auto 6 leak. How did it occur? What was in it? What is Rockstar’s response? Here’s all the things it’s worthwhile to know concerning the largest leak the gaming business has ever seen.

Now, earlier than we get into this, I simply need to be expressly clear. Everything you’re about to see is from earlier GTA video games. Ok. Rockstar’s authorized workforce, should you’re listening— and I’ve heard they’re huge followers of this present— we’re not displaying any screenshots. Any gameplay. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Got it? Ok. Good. Here we go.

So how did the leak occur? On Sunday September 20, a consumer that goes by the identify of teapottuberhacker posted on GTAforums.com over 90 clips of in-development footage of the sport. They claimed that the clips have been taken from Rockstar’s inside Slack, which additionally allowed them to get their arms on supply code for the sport.

The hacker up to date their submit later that day, directing any workers of Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive to contact them through e-mail, as they have been “trying to negotiate a deal.” There has been no replace as of this recording from the hacker.

So what was launched? Well, a metric f*ton.

The footage within the 90+ clips totalled a close to hour of incomplete GTA 6 gameplay. The validity of the footage earlier than Rockstar may affirm the leak got here within the type of two key particulars that lined up with Bloomberg’s report earlier this yr concerning the sport. One, all of the gameplay came about in Vice City, Grand Theft Auto’s Miami parody, and the placement of the sport in line with Bloomberg’s report.

That report additionally included the element that the participant would take management of two characters, a person and a lady, whom are supposed to be a Bonnie and Clyde-like sort pairing. The gameplay seen within the leak featured each a playable man and lady. Pop-up textual content in the course of the footage refers back to the man as Jason and the lady as Lucia.

The footage confirmed off the characters’ talents to crouch, go inclined, and transfer whereas doing each. Going inclined is one thing that may’t be performed in GTA 5, and the one option to crouch in that sport is by taking cowl behind a low profile object.

Both of those parts trace that taking part in stealthily could be a viable plan of action within the sport, significantly because the footage additionally reveals a mechanic to select up our bodies that you may then presumably disguise.
