#Gta 6 leak video footage code#

It is usual for in-development builds to look rough until the final months of development, and they are rarely representative of the finished game – something that uninformed viewers often don’t understand. Leaks are damaging to video game developers not just because of the confidential information that they represent, but because a leak can adversely affect a game’s perception before release. Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 was in “active development” earlier this year, though early work on the game probably began in 2014. The videos clearly show an in-progress version of the game, with debug commands and other technical information overlaid.

It added: “We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way.” “At this time, we do not anticipate any disruption to our live game services nor any long-term effect on the development of our ongoing projects.” “We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third-party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto,” the company said. In a statement posted to social media, the developer confirmed the leak. Sources close to Rockstar Games have indicated to the Guardian and Bloomberg that the leak represents an early-in-development build of the game that is already a year old.

The hacker has also threatened to leak the source code for Grand Theft Auto V, the 2013 instalment of the game and one of the biggest-selling video games of all time, and the in-development version of Grand Theft Auto VI – inviting Rockstar Games to negotiate a deal. Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has been issuing takedowns to remove the footage from YouTube and Twitter.

The original post was taken down, but not before the images and video proliferated across social media. The footage shows a female protagonist in a modern-day Vice City, also the setting of 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It shows animation tests, level layouts and gameplay tests, including some fully voiced conversations between characters. The footage was posted to the GTAForums website by a user going by the name teapotuberhacker, who claimed to have accessed it by hacking Rockstar’s internal company Slack feed and gaining access to their servers.
