🤐 Rumors / Leaks
GTA 6 Wanted System Leak: More Realistic Police AI
Recent leaks and the official GTA 6 reveal trailer suggest that Rockstar Games is overhauling the game’s wanted system. Unlike in GTA 5, where police instantly identify and pursue players after a crime, the new system appears more nuanced. For instance, in the trailer, protagonists Jason and Lucia evade police detection, implying that officers lack their descriptions. Additionally, leaked gameplay shows a notification indicating that police have a full description of the getaway vehicle after a diner robbery. These elements point to a more immersive and realistic wanted system in GTA6.
🕵️♂️ Under the Hood (deep dive)
GTA 6 Hacker: The Teen Who Shook Rockstar Games
The 17-year-old hacker, Arion Kurtaj, a member of the Lapsus$ hacking group, infiltrated Rockstar Games’ internal network in September 2022, leading to one of the biggest leaks in gaming history. Using social engineering and phishing techniques, he gained access to Rockstar’s Slack channels, where he found confidential development files for GTA 6. Once inside, he exploited internal tools to escalate his access, ultimately obtaining sensitive gameplay footage and data.
Kurtaj leaked over 90 in-game clips showcasing GTA 6’s world, characters, and mechanics, posting them on GTAForums, which quickly spread across social media. The leak sent shockwaves through the gaming industry, forcing Rockstar to confirm the breach publicly. Adding to the chaos, Kurtaj threatened to release GTA 6’s source code unless Rockstar negotiated with him, posing a major security risk that could have exposed the game to widespread hacking.
At the time, Kurtaj was already on bail for previous cybercrimes against NVIDIA and BT Group. Despite being under police protection in a hotel, he continued hacking using an Amazon Fire Stick and a smartphone. Authorities tracked his digital activity, leading to his arrest and eventual conviction. A UK court ruled him a high-risk hacker, recognizing his ability to bypass security systems even with severe restrictions.
Rockstar reassured fans that the leak would not impact GTA 6’s development, but the incident highlighted major cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the gaming industry. It served as a wake-up call for developers, pushing companies to strengthen their security protocols to prevent future breaches. Despite the setback, Rockstar has remained focused on delivering GTA 6 as planned, ensuring that the game’s release remains on track. 🚨🎮

Even Liquor Bottles Look Better in GTA 6!
This GTA 5 vs. GTA 6 comparison highlights Rockstar’s huge leap in graphics. GTA 5’s bottles look low-detail and repetitive, while GTA 6 features realistic textures, unique branding, and detailed reflections.
