GTA 5 and GTA 6 Leaks
The hacker accused of the incident has pleaded not guilty, while publisher Take-Two Interactive has reassured fans that the leak has not affected the game’s development. However, it looks as though the company may have another problem on its hands. GTA 5 is the most sold and most successful game ever and the most successful entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise which makes it a target for hackers.
The footage leaks of Grand Theft Auto 6 were all together one of the largest and most impactful video game leaks in history, with the data branch of Rockstar Games leading to investigations from law enforcement agencies in the United States and the United Kingdom. In September of this year, a hacker shared 90 videos of GTA 6, leaking its confidential content on Grand Theft Auto forums.

Even though fans were skeptical about the sincerity of the clips that were leaked, Rockstar eventually confirmed that the leaked clips were indeed real and legitimate and that the GTA 6 would be still in the works despite such a massive leak.
One speculation as to why such leaks are taking place might be the approaching 25th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto. It makes it an ideal time for reflection on just how far the series has come since its beginning in the 1900s. As a result, people get curious as to how these games and the entire franchise became so successful, making it prone to attackers and hackers behind its production.
