According to hushpolocaps69, he reported that the GTA VI leaks that happened in 2022 were caused by a phishing scam targeting an employee at Rockstar India.

Arion sent phishing mail to an employee who was working at home. In this way, he was able to get all the sensitive browser data, including the employee’s login credentials for Slack channels used by the Rockstar team. This was the major cause of the leaks.

Also, many sources claim that Rockstar India was working on the entire Vice Beach area, which also indicates that the map size in this game will be huge.

Fall 2025 release!

The new updates and leaks regarding the release date have all been pointing out the Fall 2025 release. This also means that in around November and December 2025, we might be able to see the GTA VI release.

This also makes it the perfect time due to the winter holiday season, which will also give a boost to sales. The fans and gamers’ demands for this game have already made it the most anticipated game of all time.

Despite that, Rockstar Games and developers are not rushing anything and taking their sweet time to deliver the game, which will be a generational masterpiece.
