GTA IV Leaked

Guide Note

April 23, 2008: A pirated PAL version of the highly anticipated action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto IV has apparently leaked to various torrent sites around the web. The leak comes six days ahead of GTA IV's official release on April 29, 2008. The torrent version of the game is for the Xbox 360 console, is 6.32 GB in size, and was ripped by a person or entity known as “iCON.” Several GTA IV gameplay videos appeared on YouTube, but were quickly taken down. Because the leaked version is for the PAL region, it cannot be played with an Xbox 360 console from North America.

Update: April 26, 2008

It appears that the NTSC version of Grand Theft Auto IV has also leaked.

GTA IV Info

Grand Theft Auto IV is an action-adventure game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The game takes place in Liberty City, which is loosely based on the real-life New York City, featuring similar landmarks and geography. In the game you plays as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European who travels to Liberty City to cash in on a cash proposal by his cousin Roman. It is soon discovered that Roman does not have said cash proposal, and instead runs a modest Taxi company. Roman needs you to help him in various seedy affairs around the city. The game features 40 hours of gameplay for the main storyline, and an additional 25 hours to complete all of the sidequests and optional content.
