GTA 6 trailer leaked on X / Twitter, forcing Rockstar Games to release an official version early
Reading Time: 2 minutesHere’s how it all went down.
It’s been over a decade since the last Grand Theft Auto game came out so the Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023 trailer release date for GTA 6 was a big deal.
That is, until an anonymous leaker dropped the trailer on Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, a day early.
Being that the leaked trailer was making its way across the internet, Rockstar Games clearly felt forced to release their own official version of the GTA 6 trailer early. It’s now available to view on YouTube.
X account @Gta6trailerleak was seemingly set up specifically for one purpose: Leak the GTA 6 trailer. The video wasn’t up for long, based on screenshots floating around. It appears X suspended the account no more than one hour after it posted the leaked trailer.
According to The Verge’s Tom Warren, Rockstar made their official trailer public around 10 minutes after X suspended the leaked video uploader.
The leaked video, which we now know was legitimate, had a ‘BUY $BTC’ watermark overlaid over the entire clip.
Musk’s X is no stranger to leaks, piracy, and copyrighted content being posted. Ever since X rolled out extended-length video uploads for paying X Premium subscribers, users have been posting full-length feature films to the platform, obviously without permission from the copyright holder.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino boasted on Friday about how many views Rockstar’s GTA 6 post hyping up the Tuesday release date received on the platform.
’90+ million views in under 12hrs,’ Yaccarino posted. ‘See you Tuesday!’
But, thanks to the leaker, GTA 6 fans don’t have to wait until Tuesday.
