The biggest GTA 6 leak that surprised the world in 2022
Aside from the latest update of a GTA 6 announcement by Bloomberg, the other major incident related to this game was the leak last year. It was possibly one of the biggest leaks that Rockstar Games had to deal with in their history.
Last year, an 18-year-old hacker named Arion Kurtaj got into Rockstar Games’ servers and leaked gameplay footage for the upcoming GTA 6. Moreover, he also threatened the developers to meet his demands, or he would leak the game’s source code.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the young hacker carried out this act from a hotel room. He was supposed to be there without any internet because of his past hacking activities. Kurtaj has been arrested multiple times in the past for different cyber crimes.
The court found Arion Kurtaj guilty of his crime of hacking Rockstar Games and leaking gameplay footage. However, he would receive his punishment at a later date.
After this incident, the developers have been quite strict with hackers. This might also be the reason for the Rockstar insiders who leaked the news about the game’s announcement to not reveal their identity.
