Big trouble over at Rockstar this morning, as somehow, some way, an enormous amount of early footage from GTA 6 has leaked out, spread across 90 videos ...

It’s easy to imagine that it’s going to be pretty excellent after a lot more work and polishing. In the footage the woman is named Lucia, and the man is named Jason. It’s easy to imagine this will escalate into Rockstar trying to track this hacker down and bring them to legal justice, but we’ll see how successful they’ll be in that pursuit. This seems like a genuine hack and breach of Rockstar to produce this footage. [she robs a diner and flees from the cops](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAzDzlQOi9Y) afterwards with Jason. The footage seems to confirm previous details from older leaks including the location, the Miami-esque Vice City, and the male and female leads.

A massive gameplay dump of alleged early footage for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI has been leaked on to the internet.

Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay videos and source code have been leaked after a hacker allegedly breached Rockstar Game's Slack server and Confluence wiki.

These takedown demands lend further validity to the fact that the leaked GTA 6 videos are real. In addition, some of the videos contain voiced conversations between the protagonist and other NPCs. The hacker claims to have stolen "GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build," but is trying to extort Rockstar Games to prevent further data from being released.

Take-Two Interactive has started removing leaked footage of GTA 6 from YouTube and Twitter.

Several references to Vice City, the game’s rumoured location have been spotted in the footage. Developers are also being cautious not to “punch down” by making jokes about marginalized groups, the people said, in contrast to previous games.” Now, multiple videos have been removed at the request of Take-Two, seemingly confirming the legitimacy of the substantial leak. ](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/gta-6-will-take-place-in-miami-and-feature-a-female-protagonist-its-claimed/) [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-27/gta-6-release-date-rockstar-cleans-up-image-after-employee-backlash) reported earlier this year that the game, which it claims began development sometime in 2014, is “at least two years away”. [earlier](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/huge-gta-6-leak-sees-over-90-alleged-videos-circulated/) today from an anonymous user in the GTA Forums, allegedly includes sensitive development material as well as early footage of [Rockstar](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/take-two-interactive/rockstar-games/)’s next open world game. [Take-Two Interactive](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/take-two-interactive/) has started removing leaked footage of GTA 6 from YouTube and Twitter, in the process seemingly confirming the leaked assets’ legitimacy.

Rockstar studio executives may be scratching their heads after more than 90 videos of the gameplay of its under-development Grand Theft Auto 6 was leaked on ...

Moreover, the NPC conversations, cars, and other assets remind one of GTA 5. Some experts believe that the leak will force Rockstar to cull the work-from-home flexibility for its developers which may cause a temporary halt in the development process. Reportedly, a user named 'teapotuberhacker' on GTAForums claimed that they were behind the leak which comes from a test build of GTA 6.

The Hacker has allegedly claimed to be behind the recent Uber hack as well, however, he has provided no proof for this claim.

The hacker on the other hand has allegedly claimed to have the source code of GTA 5 and GTA 6 in his possession, and will not sell GTA 5 source code for less than 5 figures, while GTA 6 source code (Testing build) is 'Not for sale at this moment.'

[hacker](/topic/hacker)who calls himself 'teapotuberhacker' on the internet has leaked over 90 videos of the gameplay of [GTA 6](/topic/gta-6)which is currently under development.

Did the hacker behind the Uber hack just breach Rockstar Games' servers and leak Grand Theft Auto 6 development videos?

As well as making claims to be the same 'Tea Pot' hacker who was behind the Uber incident, the threat actor says they had gained access to both GTA 5 and GTA 6 source code along with other assets. That Slack server access was involved, and the very public, boastful nature of the video postings certainly suggest a similar modus operandi, however. As evidence of this, videos of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6, which is still in the early stages of development, have been leaked and published online.

A hacker has got hold of almost a 100 videos and screenshots of GTA 6, as Rockstar Games desperately tries to remove them from the internet.

The source of those rumours also currently believes the video leaks are real. One major giveaway though, is that the setting does seem to be Vice City, with a tram having the city’s name written on it. [check our Gaming page](https://metro.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/). Most of the videos last for only a few seconds, with the longest being just under three minutes.

GTA 6 has been under development since 2014 hence it's reasonable to expect development snapshots to be from various builds over the years.

Yesterday, Rockstar suffered one of the worst leaks in gaming history as a hacker posted 90 videos from early builds of Grand Theft Auto 6, ...

But what problem I’m not sure Rockstar has to contend with in the wake of this is that public perception of GTA 6 has dropped because of the early leaked footage. So yes, this leak is hugely damaging to GTA 6 development given everything that came out and a hacker who at least claims to have the source code of the game itself. But I do wonder if they’ll now release some official news and looks at the game they can control, given that everyone’s interest is now piqued. A segment where Lucia robs a diner had some interesting, very detailed NPC AI as they react to the robbery, and it all just looks…very good, especially for being what, potentially three years away from release? It’s not good for development of the game. But what the leaks showed was something perhaps a bit surprising.

Teapotuberhacker impersonators, along with continued DMCA takedowns, have continued in the wake of the Grand Theft Auto hack.

[Tea Pot’s account was deleted](https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1571621749950668802) from even the Wild West of messaging apps, Telegram. Tea Pot confirmed this, posting to GTAForums to complain that his original thread had been taken down, saying, “My thread grew to be one of the most popular in the forums history. Some were [ sharing their Bitcoin wallet](https://twitter.com/teapotuberr), but [everyone seemed to be asking for an offer](https://twitter.com/teapothack/status/1571609801557172226?s=46&t=CtuXbwj3k4VoWfmxPPBtXw). [which they were doing in tandem with offering to sell the source code for GTA V](https://twitter.com/JohnHey04839690/status/1571555431738216449), while implying he has the source code for GTA VI. The impersonations have been somewhat successful because the original Teapot was apparently trying to get in touch with Rockstar or Take-Two to “negotiate a deal,” At the same time, the source code for GTA V appears to be being offered for sale, while the origin of the leak is playing whack-a-mole against himself.

Over the weekend, a hacker released more than 90 video clips showing in-development footage of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games' anticipated franchise ...

More than 90 video clips of the in-development game were published on a Grand Theft Auto forum — one of the largest leaks in video game history. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as planned and we remain as committed as ever to delivering an experience to you, our players, that truly exceeds your expectations. The longest clip features a female character, reportedly named Lucia, robbing a diner and holding diners and staff at gunpoint.

'An unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems,' Rockstar Games says.

The last entry in the franchise, [GTA V](https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/grand-theft-auto-v-for-playstation-3), released nearly a decade ago in September 2013. "We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way," Rockstar adds. [GTAForums(Opens in a new window)](https://gtaforums.com/topic/985481-gta-6-americas-leak-90-mp4-footagevideos/) by user teapotuberhacker, along with the message, "Its possible i could leak more data soon, GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build."

Here is what the team behind "GTA 6" had to say about the hack and subsequent leak.

[Some have even theorized](https://twitter.com/joetidy/status/1571853574979653635?s=46&t=z46vW_ZTEshamzxtXgpVgA) that the leaks could even serve to get fans more excited for the next "Grand Theft Auto." [sympathy for the company](https://twitter.com/cghchannel/status/1571854545914920961?s=46&t=z46vW_ZTEshamzxtXgpVgA) and their excitement for whatever comes next. Others were glad to find out that the leaks were real, because [they were impressed](https://twitter.com/theishikawarin/status/1571852272987930624?s=46&t=z46vW_ZTEshamzxtXgpVgA) by what they'd seen. The company also made it clear that this leak will not prompt the company to release more information about the upcoming game at this time, noting, "We will update everyone again soon and, of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it is ready." The statement explained, "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.' 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 want to thank everyone for their ongoing support through this situation.”

Following this weekend's massive leak of Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games officially comments on the ongoing, tumultuous situation.

But, hopefully, Rockstar is able to come out of this better and when the game is revealed, the self-dubbed aggrandizing of a game in development can realize just how much work goes into it. [Grand Theft Auto 6](https://gamerant.com/tag/grand-theft-auto-6/). This includes roughly 90 in-development videos of the game, as well as reportedly the [source codes for GTA 5 and GTA 6](https://gamerant.com/grand-theft-auto-6-hacker-gta-5-source-code-sold/). Game development takes years, so to have such behind-the-scenes details leak online isn't the best way to reveal a game. In general, the message from the studio indicates it is "extremely disappointed" in this happening but doesn't surprisingly anticipate any longer-term effects. While there was no doubting the authenticity of these

Despite reassurances from Rockstar Games, this leak will likely have a significant impact on the production going forward.

In the two decades plus I've covered gaming, I'm not sure I can recall a leak more startling than this weekend's dump of 90 videos from a test build of GTA ...

I feel for the developers who want their games to be shown in the best light, but I don't think some leaked pictures or videos do much to dampen the excitement of playing it, in the end. I'm actually way less leery of a leaked game trailer or footage that was never meant to be public than I am the official trailers for movies I'm excited to see. Evan and I talked about this in the morning meeting, and part of the problem stems from the fact that gamer culture has completely ingrained the idea that information is parceled out to us in small portions to build excitement. And this hacker is definitely going to get caught and go to prison. It looks like GTA, and I don't think anyone was expecting GTA to not look like GTA. Naïve of me, maybe, to hope for the internet at large to empathize with something instead of thoughtlessly critique it, but I have seen a fair number of YouTube and Reddit commenters genuinely intrigued by this massive peek behind the curtain. Whether I hear about the next Mass Effect game tomorrow or in five years' time makes no difference to me, because I am a modern warrior monk with diversified interests and hobbies. Moments like this call attention to the fact that only video games are marketed as a drip-feed of information in slow procession. I really don't like the culture that's built up around extracting any and all details about games years before they're real (often shared with the goal of chasing clout). I have never made a game, and never will, but am sure it's a diabolical experience to see your work in progress pored over. Though nothing new for the games industry, and increasingly the wider entertainment media now that everything is digital, working from home and the proliferation of productivity software during the pandemic has surely only increased the risks. In that instance the damage to Valve team's morale (though ultimately not the game's critical or commercial reception) was [well-documented](https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-final-hours-of-half-life-2/1100-6112889/), so we can imagine how aggrieved Rockstar's team must be feeling at seeing their unvarnished work stolen and shared.

Spare a thought for Rockstar employees, because at the time of writing Rockstar is probably threatening to fire 10 people every 10 minutes until someone owns up ...

There's enough here to get a broad feel for what to expect, but of course can't judge the game's quality from this footage. It looks like quite a bit of the footage takes place in backwater areas, with cracked pavements, trash, and building facades that look dark with dirt. Red Dead Redemption 2 let you do this, but that was always in the context of chucking lassoed people over your shoulder like a sack of potatoes so you could carry them to your horse. As the restaurant is located in a place called Homestead, which is right on the southern edges of the Miami Metropolitan Area, that suggests the game world will extend pretty far beyond Miami itself. Some fans may be disappointed that we're not being taken back to the heady 80s as per the original game, and the modern-day time period is all but confirmed as one of the characters refers to the death of Jay Norris - the CEO of social media site LifeInvader who gets killed by Michael De Santa in GTA V. [GTA 6 will feature a playable pair of co-protagonists](https://www.dualshockers.com/gta-6-reportedly-planned-four-protagonists-and-three-cities-at-first/), described before as a 'Bonnie and Clyde' type couple (i.e.

A couple of apps are referenced in the footage, like LifeInvader (the parody of Facebook from GTA 5) and WhazUp, which seems to be a play on WhatsApp (the messaging app also owned by Facebook). In one short clip we see a character on the ground in the prone position. What we still don't know: Well, it's just one tiny clip so we have no idea if expanded stealth will be in the game. Only once is a small portion of the map shown, so we don't know how far outside of Vice City the world roams. But several clips from the leak show pedestrians holding smart phones, with one appearing to take a selfie. One of the leaked clips shows a light rail car with "Vice City Metro" painted on the side as Jason walks onto the train and then exits it. In the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was a stand-in for Miami, so we're headed back to Florida for GTA 6. What we still don't know: While most of the footage shows either Lucia or Jason, we still know very little about them. It's not like a reveal trailer leaked early or it's 90 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay: There are some interesting tidbits, but the footage doesn't really shed a lot of new light on the game or answer the biggest questions we have. Most of the videos, some 90 different clips, are just a few seconds long and show early development footage and game testing in debug mode, though a few longer sequences show interior locations and some character dialogue. While I've seen just about all of the footage, I won't be sharing a link to it or posting screenshots in this article. And frankly, while the footage gives the answers to a few of the questions we've had for years, the clips appear to largely be made for the purposes of bug reports or animation tests.

However, that seems unlikely, as Rockstar may have to redesign some leaked elements from the ground up. Rumour has it that some code was also stolen from GTA 6 and GTA V. Although Rockstar has since issued DMCA strikes to many channels, others are still up and running. If the DMCA strikes weren't proof enough of the leak's legitimacy, Rockstar Games has now officially issued a statement about the matter. [one of the largest leaks](Alleged-GTA-6-gameplay-footage-confirms-female-protagonist-in-game-locations-and-Vice-City-throwback.653189.0.html) from the gaming industry.

GTA 6, in development at Rockstar Games, suffered a huge leak of in-development assets and content showing the game will be located in Vice City and star a ...

This is something else altogether, and it’s not a win for transparency in any sense of the word. The point here is, it’s not like Rockstar is looking at this leak and feverishly thinking about how to get ahead of the story, as in an episode of The West Wing. Reuters, citing Bank of America analysts, says Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to generate bookings (i.e., contracted revenue) of $3.5 billion at launch and $2 billion thereafter. 30, and then [partially confirmed them two days later](https://www.polygon.com/23332863/assassins-creed-mirage-confirmed-release-date-ubisoft), mainly as an announcement for a livestream event in which everything would be revealed, anyway. [finally confirmed](https://www.polygon.com/23357032/street-fighter-6-launch-roster-fighters-characters-confirmed) the initial roster of 18 fighters for Street Fighter 6 launching next year, even though [that has been known](https://www.polygon.com/23153029/street-fighter-6-roster-leak-new-characters-capcom) since the beginning of June. [a leaker gave up](https://www.polygon.com/2015/4/23/8478211/nba-2k16-spike-lee-cover-stars-release-date-ps4-xbox-one) that Spike Lee was directing NBA 2K16’s story mode, and they also revealed two of the game’s three cover stars. Most of MultiVersus’ roster [was data-mined in March](https://www.polygon.com/23291209/multiversus-leaked-datamine-upcoming-character-roster-complete-fighter-list), and Warner Bros. This leak, comprising about an hour of in-development footage, is a work in progress in its rawest form, albeit without that little disclaimer at the bottom of the screen. Fans were able to compile a playable version of the game one year before its launch in November 2004. [reported this summer](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-27/gta-6-release-date-rockstar-cleans-up-image-after-employee-backlash#xj4y7vzkg), GTA 6 has been in development “in some form” since 2014. But setting Stuff They Don’t Want You to See loose into the wild like this is hardly a victory for transparency, or whatever higher-minded idea some might try to attach to what was, from the looks of it, an online burglary. Either way, it’s unlikely that whatever they stole from Rockstar would do much more in the public’s hands than recreate the kind of janky demonstrations seen on Sunday.

In what will likely go down as one of the games industry's most high-profile data leaks ever, more than an hour of Grand Theft Auto 6 development footage was ...
