" Development has finished on Grand Theft Auto 5 ahead of its release next month. The game - which will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - is now being prepared for release by Rockstar Games.  The developer announced on its official website: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re pleased to confirm that Grand Theft Auto V has officially gone gold and we&amp;#039;re now preparing the game for release on September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.&amp;quot; The announcement comes after copies of Grand Theft Auto 5 downloaded from the EU PlayStation Store were cracked open by hackers. Rockstar commented: &amp;quot;Unfortunately, as many of you may already know, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTAV assets leading to leaked information and media from the game appearing online.  &amp;quot;As you can imagine, we are deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game&amp;#039;s launch. GTAV represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn&amp;#039;t be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17th.  &amp;quot;Please stay tuned here at the Rockstar Newswire for all announcements about GTAV between now and game release as we definitely still have more to officially reveal.&amp;quot; They urged fans not to discuss spoilers following the Sony leak. Sony apologised to Rockstar and GTA fans for the leak, adding that they are &amp;quot;looking forward to a historic launch&amp;quot; on September 17.
