In a recent livestream on Kick, xQc reminisced about coming across leaks related to 'GTA 6' and pondered the potential consequences of reacting to this purported information.
Eventually, he urged his audience to share the details, which he subsequently reviewed off-camera.
xQc claimed, "Guys, what happened with GTA 6 lately? I saw it on Twitter today. If I look at the map on stream, am I going to get banned? Chat, re-link the GTA links. I want to see it on the second monitor. Guys, do I have to mute the audio?”
After viewing the viral video, xQc voiced skepticism, stating that he "doesn't buy it.”
xQc explained, "I don't buy, sorry. It says, 'I can only show so much for legal reasons.' Well, that's not even true! If you're going to leak something... 'it's confirmed.'"
He added, "It was a friend of the son. But, how would they see that, though? No shot the f*****g parent left his workstation open, with the f*****g portal to the company still active and s**t like that. No shot!"
In response to fans' requests to explore the r/gta6 subreddit, where the supposed leaks were shared, xQc expressed his concerns, remarking,
"Guys, guys, I can't. Is this even readable? Guys, can I watch this without getting banned?" xQc said.
xQc proceeded to read a message from a viewer on Kick, asserting that the TikToker who leaked the information had taken it down from their account.
In reply, xQc mentioned that he opted not to broadcast the video live on stream
xQc mentioned, "The leaker of the footage took it off for no particular reason, they claim it was good timing. The footage consists of a larger Vice City, consisting of two maps of Los Santos.' You know, chat? Guys, out of respect for the company, I'm not going to f*****g leak it. Bro, I know I'm just a small part of this world, okay? But, I'm not going to bother with it."
xQc also clarified that he wasn't worried about potential legal consequences if he were to showcase the purported leaked footage of 'GTA 6'.
"No, it's not because I'm scared of getting legal repercussions. It's just, like, for them to do such a big f*****g... so much effort and doing so good with leaks over the years, and for like, f*****g ten years and nothing leaks - I'm not going to f****g bother with it."
