Rockstar cautions fans about "inevitable" GTAV leaks

With less than a week to go before the launch of Grand Theft Auto V, developer Rockstar Games has cautioned fans that leaks from the game are, at this point, "inevitable."

"Hi all, now that we're within a week of game release, there's bound to be some inevitable game info and asset leaks," Rockstar Games said on its website.

Earlier this week, the Grand Theft Auto V world map surfaced, reportedly stemming from a Brady Games strategy guide for the upcoming open-world game.

Grand Theft Auto V launches exclusively for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 17. Its multiplayer component--GTA Online--will be released two weeks later on October 1.
