Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks: Rockstar Games release statement

Rockstar Games have issued a statement regarding the recent incident that took place online over the weekend.

Several images and videos of Grand Theft Auto 6 were leaked online, despite the fact the game is nowhere near ready to be released yet.

Earlier this year, Rockstar Games stated that GTA 6 was in development ahead of its highly anticipated release.

The footage was posted to GTAForums website and was all over Twitter, with plenty of tweets going viral containing the footage. The user who exposed the leaks also claimed to have accessed it by hacking Rockstar’s internal company Slack feed and also had access to their servers.

Despite the main post being taken down now, it has gone on to trend across social media as many gamers anticipate the new release of one of the biggest games of all time.

The user who posted the leaks also threatened to leak the source code for Grand Theft Auto V and the development of GTA 6.

Since then, Rockstar Games have gone on to release a statement.
