Speculation around a potential delay for Grand Theft Auto VI has resurfaced after new comments from the hacker responsible for the major Rockstar Games breach in 2022.
Arion Kurtaj, the individual linked to the infamous Rockstar hack, reportedly suggested that stolen GTA 6 source code could still be circulating outside the company and may even leak in the future. The statement has quickly spread across gaming communities, raising questions about whether such a situation could affect the development timeline of the highly anticipated game.
The original breach occurred in September 2022 when dozens of early GTA 6 development clips were leaked online. The videos showed unfinished gameplay systems, internal debugging tools, and early versions of Vice City environments. It quickly became one of the largest leaks in video game history.
Rockstar Games confirmed the hack shortly after it happened, stating that an unauthorized party had accessed their internal systems. Despite the scale of the leak, the company reassured fans that development of Grand Theft Auto VI would continue as planned and that the incident would not significantly disrupt production.
Now, Kurtaj's latest comments have revived concerns that parts of GTA 6's source code might still exist outside Rockstar's control. If true, this could potentially expose sensitive development information or lead to additional leaks in the future.
However, there is currently no verified evidence that the full source code has been released or that any new leaks are imminent. Security experts also note that even if fragments of the code were stolen, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to compile or use it without Rockstar's internal tools and systems.
At this time, Rockstar Games has not issued any new statements regarding the claims or the possibility of a delay. The company continues to work on Grand Theft Auto VI, which remains one of the most anticipated entertainment releases in the world.
Until Rockstar officially comments, the latest claims remain speculation. Fans around the world are still waiting for the next official update, trailer, or gameplay reveal as the countdown to GTA 6 continues.
