“Just buy it and enjoy”: PS5 hacker urges players not to wait for a pirated version of GTA VI
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Some were hoping for a jailbreak release.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching. There is no information about the PC version yet, so some players were hoping that tech enthusiasts would come up with something involving emulators or even enable a native launch of Rockstar Games’ new title on PC shortly after the game is released on consoles.
It seems that there will not be a pirated version of Grand Theft Auto VI anytime soon after all. A well-known PlayStation 5 firmware hacker going by the handle StretchEcho recently addressed players. He doubted that the protection could be cracked and urged players to simply buy GTA VI:
[…] I’ve seen a lot of people asking ‘is it worth updating firmware for GTA VI or is it better to stay on the current version?’, so let me clear things up a bit. Things aren’t looking good with game dumps on firmware version 14.xx, so if you are waiting for a GTA VI dump — good luck to you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you later!
Personally, hacker StretchEcho is ready to update the firmware (the new version is required to run the game) and purchase a licensed copy of Grand Theft Auto VI:
As for me — it’s a new GTA, after all. We’ve waited so long for this game, so just buy it and enjoy playing it. I’ll update for it!
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
