Rockstar said the breach was heartbreaking and apologized to fans while confirming the official gameplay reveal will still stream on Netflix.
- On Wednesday, Rockstar Games confirmed that recent unauthorized footage shows actual Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay, calling the exposure "heartbreaking." The studio confirmed its official Netflix reveal remains scheduled for Thursday.

- Netflix will host the official gameplay reveal on Thursday, which Rockstar stated must "exceed your expectations." The extended look will showcase plot, characters, and the fictionalized Florida setting of Leonida.
- Featuring a dual-protagonist system with Jason and Lucia, the game launches November 19, positioning Rockstar's first streaming partnership as critical to reintroducing the title after unauthorized spoilers.
