GTA 6 leaks uploaded, shared, taken down.

"One of the biggest leaks in video game history".

Rockstar is one developer that everyone has their eyes on. If anyone in the group so much as sneezes, the gaming industry turns its head. Much of this scrutiny is the result of the long wait between numbered installments of its flagship "Grand Theft Auto" series.
 
On the 18th of September, 2022, a new user by the name of teapotuberhacker posted on the official GTA forums. In their now deleted post, they claimed to have over 90 videos containing footage from the upcoming GTA 6. They also claimed they could leak more, saying they also have “GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build.” On the post was a link leading to a downloadable archive that contained more than 3GB of videos. Various users quickly downloaded it (the file currently has over one hundred thousand downloads), and promptly started uploading them.

The leak's validity has now been confirmed by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier (opens in new tab), who said, "Not that there was much doubt, but I've confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend's massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The footage is early and unfinished, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games".

In one video (shorter version on Twitter (opens in new tab)), a player-character named Lucia robs a waffle restaurant with an accomplice named Jason, taking hostages like they're in Pulp Fiction. A meter counts down 'Time Until Cops Dispatched', and it all looks reminiscent of the robberies in Red Dead Redemption 2, in spite of the mannequin NPCs clipping through objects, placeholder dialogue text like "Jason: GENERIC_CURSE_TO_SELF", and a cop car that's been recycled from GTA 5 only with V.C.P.D. written on it.

Lucia and Jason

   It's official, Jason and Lucia are at least two of the new protagonists for "GTA." Rockstar has played       with multiple characters in the story mode for "GTA 5," but it's no less exciting to see this approach       return.

The two characters already seem to have a sense of style all their own, as well. Lucia is seen with a pink top and jeans whereas Jason sports a backwards cap and shorts. These could be their default looks, allowing players to mix up their outfits as they get further in the game.

The previous GTA 6 leak claimed the game has been in development since 2014 and was originally codenamed 'Project Americas'. These files, which have the word "Americas" in their names and some of which show a version running on a PlayStation 4 dev kit, may well be several years old. Still, if they are legit they confirm the broad details of the previous leaks, which made it sound like a game that probably wouldn't be done until 2025. And who knows when a PC version would arrive. Basically, don't hold your breath.
