In a nutshell
- Rockstar addresses recent Grand Theft Auto VI leaks tied to hacker group “CYBERLEEK”
- Leakers allegedly demanded cash and ran “paid polls” for footage requests
- Official Netflix documentary deep‑dive on GTA 6 coming August 27
Rockstar Games has issued an official response following last week’s dramatic Grand Theft Auto VI leak incident. Clips of gameplay were shared online by an unidentified group calling themselves CYBERLEEK, who initially claimed to be protesting the loss of physical discs at GTA 6’s launch.
That narrative quickly unraveled when it was revealed the group was demanding large sums of money in exchange for new leaks, even running “paid polls” to let users vote on what footage they wanted to see next.
Rockstar described the situation as “heartbreaking for our team”, acknowledging the impact of seeing unfinished footage spread across social media.
Check out the full statement below:
“We know that many of you are waiting to hear from us about the events of last week. It would be an understatement to say that having gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time.”
“We’re so sorry that everything has taken as long as it has – to finish the game (almost there!) To share more details and official gameplay, and to give the community everything you want to know. We’re incredibly excited for everyone to see the extended look tomorrow. It took longer than we wanted to put together, but as with everything we do, we know we need to exceed your expectations, and we’re determined to deliver at the level you expect and deserve. While it’s unfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers, we hope everyone will hold out a little longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19.”
“We want to thank everyone in the community who reached out with messages of support last week – your words have meant more to this team than you can imagine. Ultimately, we’re making this game for you, and without you, we wouldn’t have the privilege of making games. We look forward to sharing more with you soon.”
Grand Theft Auto VI Netflix Deep‑Dive Incoming
To counter the leaks, Rockstar confirmed that on August 27, 2026, a Netflix extended look created in partnership with Take‑Two Interactive will premiere, offering the most complete and cinematic look at Grand Theft Auto VI to date. This deep‑dive promises to showcase the latest build of the game, far surpassing anything leaked online.
