Rockstar Games to Restructure GTA 6 Review Process Amid Leak Concerns Rockstar Games is reportedly shifting its approach to distributing early access to Grand Theft Auto 6, according to insider claims and industry speculation. The studio may no longer send review copies of the game to journalists, media outlets, or content creators ahead of its November 19, 2026, launch. Instead, creators would need to visit a secure, undisclosed location to play the game under strict supervision, a move aimed at preventing leaks and maintaining the game’s secrecy. This change comes amid a series of high-profile leaks in the gaming industry, including the premature release of Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, which have raised concerns about the security of unreleased titles. The decision to limit early access to GTA 6 is seen as a response to the growing risk of leaks, which have become a recurring issue for major game releases. Forza Horizon 6, for example, was leaked online 10 days before its official launch, prompting speculation that an insider or a third-party reviewer was responsible. Similar incidents have affected Subnautica 2 and PRAGMATA, with Playground Games suspecting an internal leak for the former. These events have led to heightened scrutiny of how studios manage their intellectual property, particularly for high-profile titles like GTA 6, which has been described as the most anticipated game of the decade. According to a Brazilian journalist with a strong track record in gaming reporting, Rockstar Games is moving away from traditional review copy distribution. The insider claims that the studio will not provide any pre-launch materials to journalists or creators, instead requiring them to play the game onsite in a controlled environment.#grand_theft_auto_6 #rockstar_games #subnautica_2 #forza_horizon_6 #playground_games
