Spoiling the GTA VI plot is forbidden even after release — players noticed Rockstar policy allowing videos to be removed
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The developers will monitor materials released about the game.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching, and players are closely studying promotional materials as well as the Rockstar Games website. Recently, an article by the developers titled “Policy on posting copyrighted Rockstar Games material” caught the attention of some users. It answers frequently asked questions regarding the publication of in-game content on YouTube and other services, and also outlines the studio’s stance on spoilers.
By “spoilers”, the developers mean videos that consist solely of cutscenes and/or story dialogues, show the game's ending, or reveal plot twists:
You may show cutscenes if your video also includes gameplay footage (or if it is a walkthrough video where you provide commentary as you play), but standalone videos with cutscenes from the game are subject to removal.
If content creators are unsure whether their scene qualifies as a “spoiler”, they can contact Take-Two by emailing “copyright@take2games.com” and describe which specific scene raises doubts and in what context they plan to show it.
The developers also warned that they would remove standalone recordings of “in-game entertainment materials”. Such materials include TV show episodes and stand-up comedy performances in Grand Theft Auto, as well as silent movies in Red Dead Redemption:
We prefer that players experience such materials in the context of the depicted world, so any such videos published on their own are subject to removal.
Notably, the page on the Rockstar Games website was last updated back in January 2025. However, players only noticed it now, when there are just a few days left until the launch of the new installment in the GTA franchise.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
