“Rockstar you have me SOLD just by your Netflix Extended Look for GTA 6…” wrote an X user.

The promotional event is part of a partnership between Rockstar Games — the company behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise — and Netflix, which comes a week after a hacker operating under the name “CyberLeek” released information about the game.

The leak consisted of raw gameplay mechanics, Vice City/Leonida map layouts, interior test footage and early cutscenes, according to Forbes.

CyberLeek also watermarked the footage to promote a cryptocurrency scheme ($CYBERLEEK) and posted an anti-consumerism manifesto criticizing digital pre-orders.
