Rockstar Games has issued its first official response since the GTA 6 leaks started appearing online over a week ago. The developer has endured eight days of daily Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, arriving just under three months prior to the game's planned release date after a 13-year wait.
Since August 18, a leaker known only as Cyberleek has been posting GTA 6 gameplay clips online, showing off numerous elements of the game that Rockstar had yet to reveal. Initially, some questioned the validity of the leaks, but it quickly became clear that not only were they real, but they were of a fairly recent build of the game that they had extensive access to. While some have opted to avoid the GTA 6 leaks completely, many have been following the daily drip-feed of new gameplay footage closely. Now, Rockstar has given its first statement on the matter.
In a statement posted to Instagram, Rockstar Games acknowledged the validity of the recent GTA 6 leaks, describing them as being "heartbreaking for our team," and "obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time." The developer apologised for the long wait for the game, and revealed its hope that fans would opt to avoid spoilers and "wait a bit longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19." It closed out its response thanking fans for their messages of support, revealing that "your words have meant more to this team than you can imagine."
The statement comes on the back of a 15th GTA 6 gameplay leak, which showed off a Lucia cutscene for the first time. While the latest leak did not reveal story spoilers, it did further cement the fact that leaker Cyberleek has access to an extensive version of the game, and it's unclear how much they are planning to reveal outside of Rockstar's control. Fans have waited so long for Grand Theft Auto 6, so hopefully, the full game is not spoiled by these ongoing leaks.

The statement aligns with the sentiment expressed by a high-ranking Rockstar executive, which came to light earlier this week. After so many years of work, to have the moment of glory - the gameplay reveal - snatched away from you has to be massively frustrating.
Ultimately, the statement expresses excitement for GTA 6's Extended Look on Netflix, which drops tomorrow (August 27). While the developer acknowledges the time it has taken to get everything ready, it also notes that "we know we need to exceed your expectations," and says it is "determined to deliver at the level you expect and deserve."
