What happened
VGC reported that Rockstar was due to premiere the trailer on Tuesday 5 December 2023, but on Monday an anonymous X account uploaded a low-res, heavily watermarked copy. The account was quickly banned, and Rockstar then published the official trailer, writing: "Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube."
Why it matters
It's the rare leak with a clear official outcome: the real trailer arrived the same night. The official story is linked below.
