Rockstar Games has officially issued a statement about the tirade of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks that have been popping up on social media over the weekend, saying the leaks have been "heartbreaking" for the team.

The developer of the Grand Theft Auto franchise took to its official X account to share the above statement, where it confirmed the leaks many fans of the franchise have been seeing recently are real, and that specifically the leaks showcasing actual gameplay were real. While many people believed the leaks were real, others were on the fence, as it's difficult to distinguish what is real from what isn't in the world of AI-generated content.

However, this statement from Rockstar has confirmed it, and any doubters suggesting the videos were merely AI-generated content, which, to be fair, has happened with purported GTA 6 leaks in the past, can now rest easy. Rockstar went on to apologize to fans for the leak, saying it is unfortunate that these recent gameplay leaks will now impact the official gameplay reveal scheduled for August 27, 2026, on Netflix.

While we still don't know who the Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker is, besides the online alias "Cyberleek," I wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar is exercising every legal power at its disposal to prevent the leaker from releasing any more footage of the title, especially now that the studio has confirmed the source of the leak is legitimate.
