Overview
- Rockstar will premiere “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look” on Netflix on Thursday, with the same footage posted six hours later on YouTube and the official site.
- A wave of uploads by an account called CyberLeek has circulated in-development gameplay and map clips since mid-August, which Rockstar says show older builds and has called damaging to its teams.
- Take-Two has asked U.S. courts for data from platforms including Microsoft and Discord to trace leak sources, and Discord has said it had not yet received a subpoena.
- Security firms reported fake playable demos on fraudulent sites that install credential-stealing malware, and they are warning users to avoid unofficial downloads and check official Rockstar channels.
- Rockstar and Take-Two continue to hold the game's November 19, 2026 release for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, a launch that has driven unusually high preorders and raised incentives for bad actors to exploit the hype.
