Back in 2021, Insomniac initially revealed their Wolverine game.

Around ninety-nine bits of Grand Theft Auto 6's content were leaked by hackers to Rockstar Games in 2022.
Later, Rockstar Games confirmed the attack, and the teenage hacker was found guilty in August in the United Kingdom of fraud and extortion among other charges.

According to SecurityWeek, Sony acknowledged in October that hackers known as RansomedVC had infiltrated all of Sony's computer systems and announced plans to sell stolen items.
A cybersecurity firm estimated that the Sony hack may have affected over 62 million users, but the number of people affected by the Insomniac hack is presently unknown.
