An unknown hacker has reportedly leaked several minutes of gameplay footage from "Grand Theft Auto VI", one of the most highly anticipated video games in years, ahead of an official reveal reportedly planned via Netflix. The leak threatens to spoil surprises for millions of fans awaiting the title from developer Rockstar Games, and comes amid heightened scrutiny of the games industry more broadly, including separate controversy over EA Sports adding microtransactions to its college football title.

"Grand Theft Auto VI" is scheduled for release on 19 November 2026, barring further delays, after Rockstar had already built anticipation among fans. Details of exactly how the footage was obtained and its full scope were not confirmed in the report, and Rockstar had not issued an official response at the time of writing.
