Huge Grand Theft Auto 6 Leak Shows Woman Lead Driving, Shooting

A consumer on GTAForums, who claims to have additionally been behind the latest hack of Uber, has simply dumped practically 100 movies on-line claiming to indicate growth footage of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI, that are at the moment circulating throughout just about each social media platform.

Matching a lot of what Bloomberg reported earlier this yr—together with that the sport will co-star a lady and be set in Vice City—the movies are very a lot in-development footage, with unfinished textures and fashions all over, and code enjoying out in real-time throughout lots of them. The leaker is at the moment taking requests asking individuals what else they’d wish to see in additional movies.

In one, a white male playable character encounters a racist NPC by a poolside, and because the dialog transpires you may see the code required for the interplay enjoying out alongside the in-game motion. In one other, the girl character—I’m solely specifying it like this as a result of it might be a collection first—(*6*).

There’s additionally a video exhibiting “passenger shooting mechanics”, illustrated with the participant taking an AK-47 to some pursuing police automobiles, and another that showcases the inside modelling of a automobile.

One of the extra full movies uploaded exhibits each characters partnering as much as rob a diner, holding the patrons at gunpoint earlier than the police arrive. Others are in rougher form, and have little greater than a featureless placeholder character transferring round an empty panorama performing out fight animations like taking cowl.

The legitimacy of those movies is clearly in query. There’s actually a whole lot of footage, and faking each the motion and the code working on the similar time can be a whole lot of work for an web prank. But it’s nonetheless a leak, and except Rockstar feedback (we’ve reached out and can replace if we hear again), we gained’t know it’s actual till we will match what’s proven right here with no matter finally turns up in GTA VI.

If it is actual, then holy shit. Given the standing of the sport and the quantity of footage it might be one of many greatest of all time, proper up there with Half-Life 2. So far, although, it’s trying legit: not solely are reporters like ex-Kotaku behemoth Jason Schreier saying that Rockstar contacts have confirmed the data to them, Rockstar staff look like liking tweets associated to the obvious hack. But the wildest half?

The hacker is attempting to strike a cope with Rockstar proper now, although we don’t know what sort. To cease distributing extra materials? To be certain that the leaker doesn’t get sued? Whatever the case, that is undoubtedly probably the most unprecedented leaks in all of online game historical past.

Update 1:55 p.m: Added particulars concerning the leaker’s shout-out to Rockstar, together with new developments within the story.
