the story behind GTA 6 gameplay leaked footage, release date, and many more?

History of Game GTA 

So let's start with the very beginning of the story. GTA (Grand Theft Auto) 6 will be a part of this GTA series. You are all very well introduced to the history of GTA games and how it changed the whole gaming industry. From the first release of GTA (which was launched in November 1997) to GTA 5 (which was launched in September 2013), the GTA franchise has come a long way. It has more fans or customers than any other gaming company.
Their last game (GTA 5) is still very popular and in demand among gamers. And the concept of GTA 6 came when Rockstar Games, the developer of the GTA series announced in February 2022, that they are in active development of GTA 6 and the process is underway. 

It was only the confirmation about GTA 6 and they didn't say anything else about the game. Well, the important news is that suspense is over and its fans get the assurance of GTA 6 and now it's confirmed that a very new game of the GTA series is on the way in the upcoming years. 

What's the story behind the GTA 6 Gameplay leaked footage & How it leaks? 

Now this is the most talked about point everywhere, especially in the digital world. Everyone makes their opinion on each other. 

So it all started in September 2022, when a teenage boy or let's say, a hacker whose name was Arion Kurtaj, whose online handle was Teaportuberhacker.  He was from the UK and a member of the Lapsus$ Group which previously hacked companies like Uber & Nvidia.  After this incident, which includes approximately 90 videos and screenshots was leaked online and people went mad about this news of GTA 6 leaked footage. 

Rockstar Games also confirmed that they had some issues with the network intrusion. They further said that they were very disappointed with this incident and that they never wanted the exposure of GTA 6 in this way. 

To find out how it leaks, we have to go through points such as the hacker got some clue about GTA 6 through industry insiders, data miners, and modders, and there are social media platforms as well, where experts share their knowledge with the audience and try to engage with them. But sometimes in their post, they mentioned some very confidential information that a hacker can easily understand and use for hacking. 

I don't say that leakage is happening because of these facts, I just make the probability of this scenario.  By the way, the reality is that GTA 6 had leaked, and it put a big question mark on the security and safety of Rockstar Games. As it is one of the most reputed companies in the gaming industry. And it demonstrates that even big companies cannot save themselves from hacking. Isn't it?

Also, some rumors say that there is a third character in this game called Kai. This third character comes from the earlier version of the game and possibly it is removed now, but we have to wait until the confirmation of Rockstar Games or until the release of the game. 

Game Setting

The footage depicts that this time the game is set up in Vice City, Miami Florida. Because the cars or buses appearing in the game feature Vice City in their number plate or even Vice City Station is also visible in the leaked footage. 

Also, the footage has shown the new locations in Vice City, such as the downtown area & a new beach. 

New Gameplay Features

The footage shows that the players have a new experience with a variety of different gameplay features like a dynamic weather system, underwater swimming, building climbing, and whatnot.
