leak, the trailer for “Grand Theft Auto VI,” the highly anticipated and graphic game, was made available online ahead of schedule. The sixth chapter will be released in 2025, as the trailer indicates, according to creator Rockstar Games.
In its first few hours on YouTube, the eagerly awaited trailer received over 32 million views.
Initially, the trailer was scheduled to launch on Tuesday, December 5 at 9:00 a.m. PST. However, Rockstar Games stated, “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” in a post on X, the platform that was originally known as Twitter.
GTA 6, the next chapter of the action-adventure franchise, has been a long time coming. GTA 5 was released in 2013.
In a scene reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde, the female lead, Lucia, appears to go on a crime spree with her companion through packed beaches, city freeways, and nightclubs.
Take-Two Interactive’s Rockstar Games has had issues with leaks. Hackers published previously undisclosed video from the upcoming GTA game in 2022. The corporation verified that the screenshots and game-play recordings that were leaked online as a result of a “network intrusion” were real, shocking the video gaming world.
In a statement released at the time, Rockstar Games said, “We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto.”
