Popular YouTube blogger Shirrako hinted that he had received early access to GTA VI, causing a stir among fans and raising questions about a possible violation of a non-disclosure agreement with Rockstar Games.
Shirrako is known for publishing full, un-commented game walkthroughs on release day. His Twitter post sparked a wave of questions: players are demanding to see gameplay and are wondering if GTA VI was launched on PS5 Pro, what frame rate was achieved, and if the controversial weapon selection wheel was fixed.
Early access for journalists and major bloggers usually helps publishers attract audience attention before a game's release. Videos from popular authors gather millions of views, providing large-scale advertising.
However, Rockstar Games is known for strict measures to protect its games from leaks. Recipients of early access usually sign tough confidentiality agreements that provide for large fines for disclosing information. Therefore, Shirrako's hint could turn into trouble for the blogger. At the same time, the fact that he received GTA VI has not yet been confirmed.
