Eurogamer Portugal reported that the leaks uncover several underlying interactions previously unseen in promotional material, pointing to a heavier emphasis on physical environmental feedback and weapon handling.

According to Drops de Jogos, developers who were previously laid off from Rockstar Games have stepped forward amid the global leak cycle to urge players not to boycott Grand Theft Auto VI over the security breaches or development turbulence. At the same time, individual social media profiles have capitalized on the leaks, engaging in mass dissemination of development files and issuing direct threats to the studio, as documented by Metrópoles.
