Rockstar Games finally breaks silence on GTA 6 leaks, says it has been "heartbreaking" for the team

The past week has been a rough one for Rockstar Games, as a leaker known as CyberLeek has shared several pieces of GTA 6 gameplay footage online. The leaked material appears to come from an older build of the game and has quickly spread across social media, despite Rockstar and Take-Two sending takedown notices to accounts sharing it.

After days of silence, Rockstar Games has now finally addressed the leaks, saying the situation has been "heartbreaking" for the team.

In a statement, Rockstar apologized to fans and said the leaked footage was not how it wanted players to see GTA 6 after waiting so long for the game. The studio also acknowledged how long fans have been waiting for more information, including official gameplay and details.

Rockstar also confirmed that the GTA 6 Extended Look is still going ahead tomorrow, despite the recent leaks. The studio said it is excited for fans to finally see the new footage and wants to make sure the presentation meets the expectations surrounding the game.

The studio also thanked the community members who reached out with messages of support during what has clearly been a difficult period for the development team. Rockstar said that the support has meant more to the team than fans might realize. With the presentation happening tomorrow, fans will soon have a chance to see the latest version of GTA 6 directly from Rockstar rather than relying on leaked footage.
