GTA 6: Probably the first real mega leak with 90 gameplay videos


So, and anyone who subsequently complains about GTA 6’s alleged poor graphics in leaked material will be arrested.

GTA 6 is leaked: in this case, that means we’ve seen a whole bunch of gameplay from an unfinished, very old version of the game. This is still subject to change (!), but some people have been loudly complaining about the supposedly bad graphics. Which at least now has the positive effect that other developers are showcasing early, unfinished versions of their titles that have since been released.
