Rockstar Games in a statement to Kotaku confirmed it was hit by a data breach. This is the second time in three years Rockstar has been targeted by hackers.
“We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed in connection with a third-party data breach,” said a Rockstar spokesperson. “This incident has no impact on our organization or our players.”
Hacker group ShinyHunters, which claims to be the ones who stole the information, is asking Rockstar for a digital ransom to be paid by April 14 or it will leak the data. The hacking group told the BBC it will leak the data has their demands have not been met.
Law enforcement advice worldwide is to not pay cybercriminal ransoms as there are no guarantees the hackers would delete the stolen data.
The next game from Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto VI, is set to launch for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026.
