Copyright strikes pulled clips from social platforms, and Take-Two took the leak to a New York court.
Clips appearing to show gameplay and cinematics from GTA 6 began surfacing online in the week of August 17, 2026, apparently sourced from a playable build obtained in a hack. Copies were removed from social platforms via copyright strikes, and on Friday, August 21, 2026, Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive launched legal proceedings over the leaks in a New York court. The individual claiming responsibility cited frustration with the games industry's shift away from physical media toward digital-only ownership. Sources: BBC News, NBC News — August 2026.
