The GTA 6 leak has been confirmed as real, and it's big. In fact, it could be the biggest security breach in gaming history. But while publisher Rockstar Games battles to take down stolen content, it says the delay won't delay the game and figures in the gaming sector have offered words of support.

Leaked GTA 6 content was posted to a forum on Sunday, and the hacker who posted it claims to have more assets from a  game, which Rockstar only revealed it was working on earlier this year and probably won't be released until 2024 or 2025 (for games you can play today, see our pick of the best PS5 games).
