The leak came from a thread at the website GTAForums, where a user named “teapotuberhacker”-who claimed to be the same person who hacked Uber last week-matter-of-factly stated, “Here are 90 footage/clips from GTA 6.” And there they were: images and nearly an hour’s worth of clips of a nowhere-near-half-baked build of the game, including videos of a female playable protagonist (accompanied by a male sidekick) orchestrating a hostage situation inside and outside of a diner, a male playable protagonist strolling around a strip club and talking to NPCs at a pool, and several sequences of outdoor driving or walking. Nine years to the day that Grand Theft Auto V came out, nearly 100 videos and screenshots of an early version of its successor had surfaced. This time, though, the smoke on social media was wafting from a five-alarm fire: one of the most scandalous leaks in video game history. And when you clicked-because of course you clicked-you were almost definitely disappointed to discover that the source was some baseless speculation about potential protagonists, settings, or release dates.
If any online algorithm has learned that you like video games, then you’ve almost certainly seen “GTA VI” trending at some point (or maybe many points) over the past several years. Late on Saturday night ( Los Santos time), something incredible happened: A rumor about Grand Theft Auto VI actually turned out to be true.
