Reported by AI Image generated by AI

Hacking group ShinyHunters published stolen revenue metrics from Rockstar Games on April 13, 2026, after the company ignored their ransom demand from two days prior. The data shows Grand Theft Auto Online averaging $1.3 million daily over the past six months—about $10 million weekly—versus Red Dead Online's $500,000 weekly. Rockstar, which confirmed a limited breach earlier, reiterated no impact on operations or players.
