Troll action around GTA 6?: Excitement about screenshots and gameplay from alleged hack


from Thilo Bayer –
Rockstar has confirmed the authenticity of the GTA 6 leaks in a statement. At the same time, one expresses his disappointment with the process, but sees no problems for the development.

It was eagerly awaited if and how Rockstar would react to the mega leak for GTA 6, which seemed credible even without confirmation from the developer. Now there is a first opinion.

Rockstar: Big disappointment

rock star confirmed on Twitterthat there was a successful intrusion into the in-house network. This attack also included “early development material” from GTA 6 captured. Rockstar confirms that all videos and screenshots from the weekend are from a GTA 6 build. Rockstar does not give details about the age of the material. The good news: Neither the live services of existing players are endangered, nor are there “long-term” effects on current projects like GTA 6.

However, Rockstar was “extremely disappointed” that details of the next GTA were released in this way. Rockstar said development will continue as planned and will exceed player expectations. An update will be provided “soon” – whether this includes a “correct” idea of ​​GTA 6 and refers to the hack is not clear from the statement. The reference to the “due presentation when the time comes” tends to dwindle hopes of an early performance.

The original and translated text of the statement is below:
“Recently, our network was breached where an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded from our systems confidential information, including early development material for the next Grand Theft Auto. At this time, we do not expect any disruption to our live -Game services still have long-term impact on development or our ongoing projects.

We are deeply disappointed that details of our next game will be shared with all of you in this way. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game continues as planned, and we remain fully committed to providing you, our players, with a gaming experience that exceeds your expectations. We’ll keep you updated soon and of course we’ll give you a proper introduction to the next game when it’s ready. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support during this situation.”
