Rockstar calls GTA VI leaks painful

GamesRadar reports Rockstar called the August GTA VI leaks heartbreaking and apologized for the long wait, without discussing leaked content.

GamesRadar+ reported on August 26, 2026 that Rockstar Games had publicly addressed the GTA VI leaks from the previous week. The report reproduces a Rockstar statement calling the situation heartbreaking for its team. This page records that response and does not describe or link any leaked material.

According to the statement reproduced by GamesRadar+, Rockstar said the leaks were not how it intended people to see the game after the long wait. The company also apologized for how long the process had taken. These are attributed public remarks, not evidence about anything shown in unauthorized material.

The reported statement asked players to wait for the intended experience on November 19 and said the studio remained determined to meet expectations. It also thanked community members who had sent messages of support. Wasted Stars carries those points as reported statements from Rockstar.

GamesRadar+ links the statement to a Rockstar post dated August 26. Because the original social post was not independently readable through the radar’s HTTP access, the facts here remain classified as reported rather than established from a first-party page. No content of the leaks is reproduced, summarized or used as evidence.
