Rockstar Games has seemingly been hit with yet another leak. Several reports have tipped that the complete source code of Grand Theft Auto 5 has been leaked. Reports have also suggested the leak includes GTA 6 codes and files from a rumoured sequel to the company's 2006 game, Bully. Notably, the hacker who helped leak GTA 6 gameplays last year was sentenced to indefinite hospital prison last week. Even the GTA 6 trailer was revealed 15 hours ahead of schedule in response to a leak that had shared the trailer online.
GTA 6 trailer is how the game is “really going to look”, not cinematics, says ex-Rockstar dev

If you were impressed by how good the first GTA 6 trailer looked, you were far from alone: even developers who previously worked at Rockstar were blown away by the level of detail shown.
Ex-Rockstar dev Mike York, who worked at Rockstar New England for nearly six years across both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, offered his own take on the GTA 6 trailer from the perspective of someone who has inside knowledge of being at the studio. Even despite that, York seemed mighty impressed with what Rockstar’s current staff are able to pull off on modern hardware.
Reacting to the GTA 6 reveal trailer on his YouTube channel (thanks for the spot, VG247), York started by clarifying that the Grand Theft Auto devs always opt to render things in-engine rather than bumping up the visuals of cutscenes, meaning that “everything that you see in a GTA game is all done in-game. Every single cutscene.”
In other words, what we see in the GTA 6 trailer is how things will look when we’re actually playing the game in terms of detail, lighting, animation and other visual fidelity.
“A lot of times you see a cinematic. This is not that,” York reiterated. “When you play this game, it’s really gonna look like this. It’s gonna look just like this. It’s gonna be incredible. I cannot wait.”
York expressed his own admiration for the “hundreds of thousands” of unique animations the team has to create to account for the level of freedom offered to the player - using the example of stealing a flamingo as how wild things can get - and pointing out the number of distinct NPC appearances, poses and actions glimpsed in the trailer’s beach scene as a good demonstration of how the world is brought to life. York was also particularly impressed by the clip of a crocodile being wrestled from a backyard pool, having worked on the crocodile animations in Red Dead Redemption 2.
In general, the level of detail on GTA 6’s character models came in for a wealth of praise, with York pointing out the fidelity of gold chains, pockmarked skin and dreadlocks in one scene and a bikini-clad character in another as a good example of the detail given to NPCs who aren’t even main characters (as far as we know, anyway).
“Everything looks very good for in-game,” he said. “I’m really impressed by how far they’re bringing the graphics for an in-game version of this.”
Unsurprisingly, that groundbreaking level of detail requires some fairly clever use of current-day tech, with York saying that Rockstar is at the bleeding edge of utilising hardware - and having that account for GTA 6 having to run on consoles now a few years into their lifecycle, as well as top-end PC rigs. (Although a PC release for GTA 6 is still yet to be confirmed.)

As GTA 6 trailer shatters records, Elon Musk says he 'didn’t like doing crime' in GTA 5!
Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 has already started shattering records even though the game's release is still two years away. Rockstar Games published the GTA 6 trailer on December 4 and it amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video. It overtook the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast whose “Every Country on Earth Fights for $250,000” video had 59.4 million views on the day it was released. Rockstar might have anticipated this hype considering that its previous Grand Theft Auto entry, GTA 5, is the second best-selling video game of all time. However, it seems that even this astronomical popularity isn't enough to convince billionaire Elon Musk to play GTA 5.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Look as Good as its Trailer, According to Former Rockstar Animator
Gaming audiences have been burned plenty of times by games that look stunning in their pre-launch trailers, but end up delivering noticeably (and, at times, severely) downgraded visuals when they actually release, which means there’s always an air of skepticism around graphically impressive trailers for upcoming games. Grand Theft Auto 6 received one such stunning trailer upon its announcement last week, and though there are some who have wondered whether the game will actually look this good, a former Rockstar developer is certain that it will.

Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer Details Vice City, Crime Couple Protagonists, and Plenty of Crocs
The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is here, finally taking the covers off of Rockstar Games' ambitious open world title. After years of leaks, rumours and speculation, we now finally have concrete official details about GTA 6, its world, characters, and tone. The trailer itself was published hastily ahead of schedule after it was leaked on X on Tuesday. Instead of waiting and putting out the reveal Wednesday at 9am ET (7:30pm IST) — as Rockstar initially planned, the studio released the trailer early Wednesday morning. “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” the publisher said in its post on X.
