The GTA 6 trailer leaked online hours ahead of its official unveiling, leading game developers at Rockstar to take to social media to express their disappointment at the unexpected reveal of the game.
The much anticipated GTA 6 trailer has finally arrived. However, rather than doing so on their own time, developer Rockstar was left to scramble after the first trailer leaked online earlier than planned.
Following this, the devs have been expressing their frustration online at the leak for what is already one of the biggest video game trailers of all time.
After the GTA 6 trailer was leaked early, Rockstar was quick to officially launch it themselves, though this was clearly not the initial plan, with the company having set a date well in advance, one they ultimately didn’t hit due to the leaks.
In light of this, many of the developers who have been focusing their time and efforts on the game have taken to social media, many of whom were disappointed at the leak and frustrated that such a major moment for them was taken away.
