Rockstar Games Launched Grand Theft Auto Trailer Early After It Leaked On X

Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software, a prominent video game publisher, experienced a decline of up to 4% during extended trading on Monday. The drop followed the early release of the trailer for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game, slated for a 2025 launch.

Originally scheduled for a debut at 6 a.m. ET on Tuesday, December 5, the company advanced its timeline because of a leak from the @Gta6trailerleak account on X (formerly Twitter).

Rockstar Games, a Take-Two subsidiary, swiftly responded by publishing the leaked trailer on YouTube, suspending the account responsible for the unauthorized release.

The much-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to significantly impact Take-Two’s revenue growth, given the immense success of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, which debuted in 2013 and ranks as the second best-selling game globally, surpassing 190 million copies sold.

The leak prompted an early unveiling of the trailer, with gamers eagerly anticipating details about the game for years. Sam Houser, the founder of Rockstar, had previously announced the trailer’s release in December.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, in a November conference call, praised Rockstar Games for its constant innovation in delivering high-quality interactive entertainment as the label approaches its 25th anniversary.

The upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed to be available on Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, according to a statement from Take-Two. For those interested, the new trailer can be viewed below.
