Grand Theft Auto 6 Leaker is Looking to ‘Negotiate a Deal’ with Rockstar

The hacker who did the massive Grand Theft Auto 6 leak is reportedly trying to arrange a deal with Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially announced in February earlier this year, but not much has been revealed since then. Rockstar Games said that it will disclose more information as soon as it’s ready, but many details about GTA 6 have been leaked already.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was subject to a huge leak that went viral. It featured gameplay footage and confirmed that GTA 6 will have two protagonists named Jason and Lucia. One of these videos included Lucia trying to rob a restaurant followed by a police chase, while another featured Jason trying to take part in a drive-by shooting. Most of the videos were incredibly short and have since been taken down. However, it looks like the leaker is not done yet.

According to Tom Henderson, the GTA 6 leaker first requested to get in touch with someone at Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. The leaker revealed that they received 3,000 telegram messages, and posted an image with emails from YouTube of the videos being taken down. The hacker claimed that they have the source code and assets of GTA 5 and GTA 6, before stating that they want to “negotiate a deal.”

A follow-up tweet includes a short clip of somebody pretending to be one of the developers of GTA 6. During this short exchange, the leaker again confirmed that they have the source and that the IT team could check the logs for proof. While many video games leak in some way nowadays, happenings on this scale are incredibly rare. Most early leaks usually consist of concept art or a screenshot, but this scenario features gameplay footage of one of the greatest games in the industry.
