Jailed Lapsus$ Hacker’s Alleged Messages Claim GTA 6 Source Code Is ‘Out There’

No outlet has verified any source‑code leak since the 2022 development footage breach.

Overview

  • Screenshots shared on X and reported by TweakTown and Beebom attribute prison messages to Arion Kurtaj suggesting the GTA 6 code exists somewhere, with no public dump to date.
  • Reports say Kurtaj is communicating from behind bars using a smuggled phone, though the authenticity of the chats has not been independently confirmed.
  • Kurtaj and Lapsus$ were tied to the 2022 breach that exposed 90‑plus internal GTA 6 videos showing early gameplay and developer tools.
  • TweakTown’s recap says access to Rockstar came via compromised employee credentials and internal Slack links, and Kurtaj had previously claimed to possess GTA V and GTA 6 code and assets.
  • Analysts caution that a true source‑code leak could enable exploits or force development changes, but there is no confirmed code release or announced impact on GTA 6’s schedule.
