Rockstar Games publishes Grand Theft Auto trailer early after it was leaked on X
Take-Two Interactive Software shares fell some 4% in extended trading on Monday 4th December 2023 after the company released its trailer for the next version of the Grand Theft Auto game.
GTA is due for release in 2025. The company had originally planned to market the trailer hours later, at 6 a.m. ET. on Tuesday 5th December 2023 but a leak caused Take Two to post it earlier.
After the leak, Rockstar Games, a subsidiary of Take-Two, published the trailer on YouTube. And X suspended the account that posted the leaked video.
