A screenshot from the Goat Simulator Twitter account that showcases the trailer shows the familiar “This media has been disabled as reported by the copyright owner” black screen.
The GTA 6 leak came from September when Rockstar Games confirmed the veracity of a series of clips found online. Rockstar lobbied for the footage to be removed from the internet, calling it “early development footage” illegally obtained from the system.
Despite the leak, the studio says that “work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as planned.”
