At the same time, the company stated that development of the anticipated game continues as planned and the whole team is committed to providing players with the best experience and exceeding community expectations.
It seemed that the hacker gradually withdrew into himself and that was the end of the whole thing, but it was the other way around. Today he announced his intention sell the source code and documents of Grand Theft Auto 6 for less than 100 thousand euros (2.4 million crowns).
Documents should contain the entire history of the game, information about vehicles and weapons, gameplay, funding, an advanced tactical system, and much more.. It looks like he deliberately lowered the price and will sell everything several times.

The hacker also claims to have repeatedly tried to contact Rockstar for a deal, but to no avail. On Sunday evening, the news of blackmailing developers spread across the Internet.
It is doubtful how much of the GTA 6 source code the hacker obtained. Rockstar has not confirmed the theft of the source code. However, the hacker already provided several images of the source code on GTAForums on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive said in a shareholder statement that steps have been taken to isolate and limit such incidents. Plus, it was once again confirmed that Rockstar does not expect to influence current projects. Everything must go according to plan.
FBI TAKE ON A HACKER
The hacker behind this is being pursued by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. With the FBI and the US Department of Justice cooperates Uber. It is believed that behind all this is a 16-year-old Briton, who is one of the leaders of the Lapsus$ group.
Last week a hacker gained access to the Uber computer network, and this year the group has already hacked the networks of Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung, Nvidia, Ubisoft and Okta. The hacker himself confirmed on GTAForums that he also hacked Uber.
If it really is him, then The 16-year-old from Oxford is well known to the police and was arrested earlier this year.. He is said to have made over £10 million (over 280 million crowns) from cybercrime.
