GTA 6 appears to have leaked from Rockstar India, also suspected to be a PC version

The GTA 6 leak saga has taken another turn, with multiple game developers now suggesting the leaked footage is running on a PC build rather than a console devkit.

The claim began to spread after creator TheRavenHelm posted on X that multiple game developers had been in touch with them about this speculation, all pointing to the same conclusion.

The reasoning is technical but straightforward. Console devkits for PS5 and Xbox Series X are restricted and license-locked hardware that's hard to access outside of official channels. A PC build, on the other hand, can apparently run through internal debug executables on regular PC hardware, which lines up with what people are seeing in the leaked clips.

Rumors are also pointing to a possible breach at Rockstar India as the source. This hasn't been confirmed by Rockstar or Take-Two, and it's worth stressing that the Rockstar India connection is still just a rumor at this point.

Separate reports have floated a more elaborate story, claiming a Rockstar India employee was hacked and that a Russian group later sold the build to the leaker, known as Cyberleek, for around $50 million. There's no verification for that figure either, so it's best treated as speculation for now.

Rockstar India has been linked to prior leaks before, including assets from Red Dead Redemption 2 and earlier portfolio leaks tied to Indian outsourcing studios, which may be part of why this particular theory is gaining traction.

Cyberleek has escalated from short clips and map renders to what looks like real-time gameplay footage, and has claimed the game's ending will be posted next, though that claim is also unverified. Take-Two has been filing DMCA takedowns aggressively across social platforms as the situation continues.

GTA 6 is set to get its extended look on Netflix on August 27, just a week away, though it's unclear whether Rockstar will address any of this directly before then. However, it does raise an eyebrow or two that a GTA 6 PC build exists out in the wild, unfinished as it may be.
