Rockstar Games has fallen victim to a new source of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, perpetrated by an entity known as CyberLeek. While Take-Two has subpoenaed Microsoft and Discord for information on their identity (as discovered by Kotaku), the developer is allegedly still unsure how it happened.
This is according to an anonymous source speaking to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who also noted that the perpetrator has not been identified (though it’s “all hands on deck” to find them). While Rockstar is going ahead with the promised Netflix reveal next week, “leaders and many employees” at the studio have been angered by the leaks. Others were reportedly feeling “frustrated and exhausted,” and it’s probably not just because they’re in the final three months of development.
When Grand Theft Auto 6 alpha gameplay leaked back in 2022, Rockstar took several steps to bolster its security. This included ending any work-from-home privileges and even reportedly shutting down a personal Discord. It led to 34 employees being fired for alleged breach of security, thus prompting legal proceedings.
Regardless, you can still look forward to Grand Theft Auto 6’s Extended Look on August 27th at 3 PM ET on Netflix before it hits YouTube and the official website at 9 PM ET. The game launches on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
