Rockstar confirmed in September 2022 that someone had obtained early development footage from its network. Ars Technica covered the company’s statement.
The leak invited people to review unfinished game footage as though it were a launch trailer. I wouldn’t judge a final product from material taken out of a development build. The more consequential story was the breach: a studio lost control of work in progress and had to respond publicly before it was ready. Rockstar’s confirmation settled that there had been an intrusion, not every claim people made about the next game.
