ⓘ Rockstar Games, Netflix with edits

The Bloomberg journalist explains that Rockstar is particularly frustrated since stringent security was already in place. In 2022, a hacker executed a data breach that stole around 90 videos from an earlier build. Controversial changes, including terminating remote work, didn’t prevent the latest round of GTA 6 leaks.

In addition, Schreier reveals that the game “isn’t yet finished but is getting close.” Management has urged developers to keep working despite the distractions.

Rockstar would likely hesitate to nix the GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look because of the substantial amount of money involved. The studio can also follow up on past trailers with a comprehensive and polished look at the title. Fellow insider NateTheHate believes the Cyberleek videos are from a build that’s at least a year old. They may not reflect the current state of the open-world crime epic.

Other fans think that after months of silence, the leaked footage actually boosts marketing efforts. The clip featuring a crop-dusting plane confirmed the game's enormous map. While the samples are rough around the edges, it’s questionable whether they have led to canceled pre-orders.
