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. But they also did seem to get access to much more within Uber. It’s unclear if the GTA 6 hacker’s threat is believable they seem to have taken most of their assets from Rockstar’s internal Slack message system. Fans were able to compile a playable version of the game one year before its launch in November 2004. Publishing the source code for this kind of a game is nothing to cheer on the closest analogue to this is Half-Life 2, whose source code was stolen and published in October 2003. The hacker claiming responsibility - the same one who claims responsibility for hacking into Uber’s internal systems last week - says they have the game’s source code, and they’ve cryptically signaled that they want to strike a deal with Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. But there’s so much more we don’t know about GTA 6 or about how it is being made, much less what Rockstar expects we will enjoy in it. We also know that developer Rockstar Games is committing to playable female and male leads, which would be a series first. It’s a cinch this game is set in Vice City, and I’m excited to go back there two decades after playing the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Take everything seen at face value: This is visual confirmation of previous rumors. But I have no idea what “in some form” really means or what this game should look like at this point. Yes, as Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reported this summer, GTA 6 has been in development “in some form” since 2014. It’s strange to see Twitter comments comparing the Vice City environment to Google Earth textures - as both compliment and insult - when it’s possible everything seen here is a placeholder. The truth is that this is just hype of a different kind, and just like the more conventional hype, we’d all do well to cool our expectations. And it definitely doesn’t follow some marketer’s plan, which is to hand-feed a discussion of a big game’s features, to sustain interest in (and desire for) a game from announcement to launch.īut 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. 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. And they help explain why Sunday’s unprecedented Grand Theft Auto 6 leak would dismay so many within the industry. The franchise as a whole has shipped more than 370 million units since the initial Grand Theft Auto game in 1997, making it the fifth-highest selling video game franchise of all time, behind Nintendo’s Mario and Pokémon, Activision’s Call of Duty, and Tetris.Two terms I’ve grown accustomed to, in writing about video games, are “marketing cadence” and “work in progress.” They relate to all the authorized pre-release preview stuff I see about upcoming video games. It is the second-best-selling video game of all time with over 169 million copies sold. This will be the first mainline GTA game to be released since the extremely popular GTA V in 2013. The leak is not expected to delay the release. There is no confirmed release date for the new game, but it is expected to come in either 2024 or 2025. It also shared that the game will be set in a fictionalised version of Miami, Florida – as GTA: Vice City was in 2002. It appeared to confirm a rumour that GTA VI will include a playable female character for the first time in the series’s history. The leak included some early gameplay footage and animation tests.
