The day after posting the footage, which appears to show the game in an early development state, the user posted again claiming to have access to not only the source code of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 but also Grand Theft Auto 5, the single-player and online-multiplayer game released in 2013 that has raked in over $6 billion in revenue. The unauthorized release of the material has been described as “one of the biggest leaks in video game history” by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier. On September 18, 2022, at 4:26 a.m., a user on GTAForums referring to themselves as teapotuberhacker posted nearly 100 videos totaling 50 minutes of footage from Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6.
