Rockstar Games calls GTA VI leaks 'heartbreaking'
- Rockstar Games broke silence on Wednesday, August 26, addressing unauthorized Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks, calling the breach "heartbreaking for our team" while confirming an "Extended Look" premiere on Netflix Thursday.

- Unpolished footage appearing online reportedly shows gameplay mechanics and character sequences featuring protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia. Rockstar acknowledged the leaks spoiled some game elements but remains "very excited" for the official preview.
- Subpoenas filed by Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, target Microsoft and Discord to identify those responsible for the leaks and remove unauthorized material from circulation.
- Despite the leaks, Rockstar reaffirmed Grand Theft Auto 6 remains scheduled for November 19, 2026, with the Netflix showcase serving as the first official extended preview to build anticipation before launch.
