GTA 5 source code possibly leaked

Another day, another leak.

Rockstar is no stranger to leaks, and it seems the company can’t even catch a break during the holiday season.

It has been reported that GTA 5‘s source code has been leaked. According to @GTAFocal, an account that follows all Grand Theft Auto-related news, the contents of the leak aren’t new and originated from the massive 2022 GTA 6 leaks. However, until this point, the data had been shared among private groups alone.

Though some have been brazen enough to post the content on Twitter, Take-Two Interactive is taking down links leading to the leaks. This isn’t the first time Rockstar has suffered a leak this year, and just a few weeks ago, we had the GTA 6 trailer showing up before Rockstar intended to debut it.

While it might be tempting to have a peek behind the curtains to see what’s going on with the GTA developers, it isn’t the wisest idea to provoke a company that has shown itself to be willing to use the full might of the law to protect its IPs. The teen behind the infamous GTA 6 leak in 2022 was deemed unfit to stand trial and has since been given an indefinite hospital order.

With a confirmed 2025 release date, it won’t be long before we get more information on GTA 6 from official sources. As the reveal trailer has shown us, the upcoming crime game will be taking us to the state of Leonida which is “home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond.”
