We are already beginning to see green shoots, even if it is in this way.
Throughout all these years of rumours, theories, leaks and speculation around GTA VI, everything has been seen in relation to what is called to be Rockstar’s next big titleespecially since, knowing that GTA V is the second best-selling game in history, the expectation is through the roof.
This led to early years Rockstar confirmed the development of GTA VI, this being quite a long one, since over time it has been possible to know that they would have been with the project since 2014. However, despite the fact that small clues are being given by the American study on the state of development, it must be said that today no official material has been shown. And that has led to the end of something that few imagined.
GTA VI is finally shown in motion, albeit in a very early version of the project

Yesterday we were able to see how social networks were experiencing an authentic revolution, since, without rhyme or reason, GTA VI suffered a massive leak. And when we talk about this, we are not referring to the fact that new content has been known through texts and writings, as happened a few months ago when a renowned journalist stated that the title was going to be starred by a Latin woman. On the contrary, on this occasion they have been able to see dozens of videos of GTA VI that show us the game in all its splendor. Or at least almost.
This is because the massive filtration has consisted of the publication of about 90 videos of GTA VI in its alpha version, which means that, for more than obvious reasons, we can see the game in a state quite far from what we will see when it is released. This happened throughout the day yesterday, being so we could see how social networks ended with a revolution of messages related to the saga.
In fact, while there might have been some calm at first, the fact that journalists like Jason Schreier, the same one who leaked and confirmed that there would be a Latin woman and two playable charactersstating that the leak seemed legitimate, gave it even more weight, since this would have confirmed various details that have been discussed for months, such as the fact that the game will be set in Vice City, which will have these two playable characters (as opposed to the three in GTA V) and that one of them will be a woman. The elimination of the material by Rockstar seems to confirm its credibility and, in addition, it is pointed out that this could delay its official launchdue to the seriousness of the situation.

It should be noted that the images of the game that have been leaked leave no doubt about this content, since, how could it be otherwise, GTA VI will bring back classic elements and mechanicssuch as the open world, combat and the use of weapons to carry out various activities, driving various vehicles, as well as interacting with NPCs residing in and around the city.
Also, as if that were not enough, in all these leaks they have detected well-known brands of the GTA universe and that we have been seeing throughout all these years in different deliveries, being that some like LTD Gasoline, Redwood Cigarettes, LifeInvader will be present in the title again, making the leak gain even more legitimacy.
With this, it must be said that all the content shown has been compiled in a Reddit post, in which all the videos that have been published on networks have been collected and that it is better that you see it as soon as possible, since there is a high probability that they will end up being eliminated. You can check this post from the social network below:
Having said all of the above, it’s time to talk about the origin of this leaksince, as I mentioned at the beginning, this does not come from official media, but instead the data has been illegally extracted from Rockstar, revealing that this has apparently been downloaded from Slack. This has also brought consequences, since it has been possible to see how the alleged hacker is in the process of being sued by Rockstar, this being something that should not surprise anyone knowing how the company is with these things and based on the commercial importance of this leak.
On the other hand, it should be noted that, despite the fact that there have been multiple criticisms for the graphic aspect of the game due to the fact that many describe it as poor for all the hype that there is, the truth is that the leaked material is a pre-alpha version of the game and that it was recorded on PS4 and PC hardware, which obviously means that the final product will be very different from what we have seen in these images.
At the moment no plans to show GTA VI officially

Likewise, it must be taken into account that it will be necessary to see what consequences this has in the development of GTA VI, since although it should not affect the plans that exist around the content, it is possible that development is halted to tighten security, this being something that could cause the game to take longer to exit. Likewise, it will be necessary to see if this also changes the plans around the official presentation of the game. Despite this, it must be said that in terms of feedback, it has been very positive from the fans.
For the rest, it must be said that today GTA VI does not have a release windowalthough there are many rumors that there are plans for sometime in 2024, which would also mean that the title would not have versions for PS4 and Xbox One in order to focus squarely on Ps5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Time will tell what ends up happening with this Rockstar title.
