Rockstar Games unleashed the trailer ahead of schedule because an X user with the moniker @Gtatrailerleak dropped an unofficial glimpse of the trailer at 5:30PM ET. The account is now suspended. According to The Verge's Tom Warren, X shut down the account at 6 p.m. ET.

In response, the video game publisher said, "Our trailer has leaked, so please watch the real thing on YouTube."
