Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive have responded to new GTA 6 leaks by attempting to hide them. There have been a few alleged leaks for the new Grand Theft Auto such as claims of 60fps mode on the PS5 Pro as well as claims of custom music stations courtesy of a Grammy-winning music producer, but there hasn’t been anything nearly as big as the in-development gameplay footage back in 2022. While the new leaks are nowhere near as massive as the 2022 breach that resulted in an arrest, the newly uncovered information that Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive are attempting to hide possibly points to some features fans can expect.
Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive hide new GTA 6 leaks
On September 8th, prominent GTA source, Tez2, uncovered some domains registered on May 27th under Take-Two’s nameservers pointing to potential in-game sites for GTA 6. These domains are as follows:
- what-up.app (Known from the leaks)
- rydeme.app
- buckme.app
- leonidagov.org
- brianandbradley.com
- hookers-galore.com
- wipeoutcornskin.com
- myboyhasacreepycorndog.com
Swiftly following the leak of these domains, Tez2 reported on September 9th that “Take-Two/Rockstar responded pretty quick” by attempting to hide the domains and their connection to Take-Two Interactive. Per Tez2, “All the domains listed… are no longer tied to their name servers anymore”.
In a reply to a user, Tez2 elaborated that, “The domains were tied to Take-Two via name servers, but they’ve updated them to obscure ownership, making it look like a large corporation owns them without revealing who”. However, “the swift change fuels speculation and creates a Streisand effect that points back to Take-Two”.
Because the connection with the domains and Take-Two was already made, the coverup appears futile. However, while seemingly futile, it possibly lends more credibility to the leaks for GTA 6.
All we know of the domains is that the what-up.app is a WhatsApp parody that originates from the 2022 leaks. As for the other domains, Rydeme is speculated to be an Uber parody, and Leonidagov seems self-explanatory as the government website for Leonida. Hookers-galore seems self-explanatory, too, but others have speculated that instead of prostitutes or an OnlyFans parody, it could instead be a witty pun for a fishing website.
Right now, the release date for GTA 6 is May 26th, 2026. There is the possibility a second delay can occur, but the Take-Two Interactive CEO has said he is confident of hitting this launch date. While we are still waiting for the price to be announced, the Take-Two CEO has promised that the game will “deliver more value” than its price demands.
As for other Grand Theft Auto leaks and rumors, it’s reported that Rockstar have been in conversations with Fortnite and Roblox creators in an effort to make GTA 6 the next UGC platform. Tez2 has also previously leaked an age verification system yet to be implemented for GTA Online, leading to the belief that it could be forced immediately in GTA 6 Online.
