It has been the hot topic of the last few hours in the video game sector and from Rockstar they have not taken long to tackle it with a forceful response to the leak of GTA VI that has been produced en masse by a group of hackers. In total, more than 90 videos have been shared with material from an early stage in the development of the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, which has caused a huge stir in the network throughout the day. After many comments and rumours, the company wanted to respond officially to this whole thing.
It has done so through social networks, with a clear and concise message about what is happening in the GTA VI environment. Rockstar confirms that someone has breached its security and accessed sensitive content of the next installment of Grand Theft Auto, with the consequences that we all know at the moment. However, the company is confident about the work of its games as a service, as well as the deadlines set for the launch of GTA VI on the date scheduled internally, without this altercation modifying the roadmap or affecting the team’s work. In addition, they assure that they will offer news of the game very soon, so we will have to be very attentive.

GTA VI, the latest case of a network of leaks that devastates the video game sector
The case of GTA VI is only the last of an increasingly clear and worrying trend in the video game sector. In fact, everything indicates that the group that has claimed the hack and access to all relevant information of GTA VI has already made similar actions against other companies such as Ubisoft or Microsoft in the past. At the moment, Rockstar is focusing its efforts on eliminating all the material relevant to its video game and managing to stop the bleeding of content that has arisen as a result of this hack.
We will have to wait to see if this action has any kind of damage to the development of GTA VI or if, as Rockstar says, everything goes according to plan.
