Every new detail related to Grand Theft Auto VI continues to generate a huge buzz around the game, and now a rather intriguing rumor has surfaced about how Rockstar Games might handle reviews before the game’s launch.

According to information shared by Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, Rockstar and Take-Two are allegedly studying a very different strategy than usual to control leaks related to the game.

GTA 6 might not have review codes sent to media outlets

According to the rumor, Rockstar won’t be sending out traditional digital copies to media outlets and content creators before the game’s launch. Instead, the company would organize a private, tightly controlled event where select journalists can play the game for several days and write their reviews on-site.

The idea behind this move is to minimize the risk of leaks as much as possible. Even with non-disclosure agreements and sending codes only to trusted media outlets, Rockstar still considers the risk of images, story details, or gameplay footage emerging before the official launch to be too high.

The journalist sharing this information previously worked with Omelete Company, which is responsible for major events like CCXP and Gamescom LATAM, leading some in the community to believe that he might have heard genuine information about Rockstar’s strategy.

For now, everything remains in the realm of rumor, with no official confirmation from Rockstar Games or Take-Two. Nevertheless, given the level of secrecy surrounding GTA 6, many players consider it perfectly plausible that the company would want to control reviews in a much stricter manner than in recent launches.
