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 VI Not Launching on PC is Likely Due to Series Fans Being Notorious Double Dippers
06.12.2023 - 01:01 / wccftech.com / Gta Vi
Yesterday, after literally years of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar finally dropped the first teaser for Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer has gone over well for the most part, although some were surprised to note that the game will only be launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, not PC. Rockstar has made a habit of this over the years, but the industry has changed and outside of console exclusives either developed or paid for by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, it’s extremely rare these days for a big AAA game to be released exclusively on console without a PC version. May as well grab those extra bucks from PC players at launch, right? So, why are Rockstar and Take Two Interactive sticking with the console-first approach when almost everyone else has abandoned it?
While we don’t have a definitive answer, the folks at PlayTracker may have a big hint. According to their tracking data, a whopping 44 percent of GTA V players own the game on more than one platform. That’s unusually high – for most games, less than 10 percent of players (often significantly less) double dip. In other words, GTA is one of the very few series folks are so wild about, they’re not going to wait for a PC port, even if they usually prefer the platform. By releasing on console then PC a year or two later, they can sell GTA VI twice to a significant portion of their audience. Oh, and when they do release GTA VI on PC, it’s not a guarantee it will be available on Steam right away either.

GTA 6 Gets Special Award and Fan Petition!
December was full of video game reveals, both big and small. But easily, the biggest announcement of the lot was the reveal of GTA 6. Sure, it was technically “first revealed” in 2022 after that huge leak happened, which led to a certain person being put in a “hospital prison” for “life,” but that wasn’t the true unveiling. That happened by Rockstar Games themselves, and the trailer was so popular it broke YouTube records! Unlike certain other companies, Rockstar made it clear within the trailer that the title won’t arrive until 2025. But if you think that prevented players from doing certain things to show their excitement for the game? You don’t know gamers.
