Five Moments When Rockstar Fell Prey to Leakers That Ruined Their Video Games Including the Upcoming GTA VI

GTA 6 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of all time. It has become the talk of the town for the past few days as fresh leaks have surfaced around the internet showing actual gameplay footage. However, fans haven’t been golly about the same as the franchise announced its further delay concerning GTA VI. 

Rockstar Games is one of the most loved gaming franchises in the world, thanks to its gaming legacies. They have gifted a plethora of masterpieces in the community, making themselves rank quite high against their competitors. But despite all that, the company has faced a major issue over the years. That’s something industry leaders come across frequently. So, if you’re wondering what we are talking about, it is none other than the dark side of gaming industry in the form of the “leaks.”

Top Five Moments where Rockstar lost power over their title updates 

Every gaming franchise works relentlessly for years to develop the game for its fans. They put in thousands of hours of work, trying to make the most out of their resources. However, there are times when they become helpless despite the fame as they fall prey to leaks.

GTA VI Leak

The GTA VI buzz has been in the market for quite some time. Fans have been constantly questioning the franchise, asking them for an update about the same. Sadly, during the process, the franchise suffered from a setback as a leaker, leaked hour-long footage of GTA VI.

To this, the franchise uploaded a statement apologizing to the community while promising the game to release soon.

GTA VI predecessor – GTA V

Just like its successor, Rockstar had its “leak” taste for the GTA V. Apparently, PlayStation was offering a pre-order of the game until its official release, which became the start of the fiasco. Users who downloaded the pre-ordered list were able to access the game in August despite the title coming out in September. This soon turned into a green light for retail sellers who broke the game far before September 13.

Red Dead Redemption 2 – Leaks down the line

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most popular games in today’s time. So, the game too suffered from leaks right after spending a few months in the gaming markets. However, Rockstar had the upper hand in this scene as not all the leaks turned out true.

The franchise only faced one setback during the time when a website called “Trusted Reviews” published a leak regarding the battle royal in RDR2.

Hot Coffee Mod

Back in time when San Andreas was the talk of the town, Rockstar came across one of the most bizarre leaks. Sadly, PS2 and Xbox players found a “hot coffee mod,” allowing them to have s*x in the in-game coffee shop. Rockstar had no intentions of releasing such a thing in the official game, but they too were shocked to see their deleted files leaked.

GTA IV Leak

Rockstar had its share of leaks far before the official release of GTA IV as some exclusive footage appeared on torrent sites. The leakers had added gameplay footage as well as some secrets and made them public right before the release. This hampered with Rockstar’s release dates as they had to revamp their options.
