Grand Theft Auto VI has become one of the most anticipated video game releases of all time, and Rockstar Games is finally set to pull back the curtain with an "extended look" event on Netflix later this month. But a major leak is keeping the studio from controlling the narrative.
According to IGN, a group calling itself Cyberleek has claimed responsibility for two leaked gameplay videos and a map image. Cyberleek says the leak is tied to a broader protest against digital pre-orders, "fake" single-player DLC, Sony's killing of physical disks, and a demand for offline fallback modes in games. The purported leaked content spread rapidly across social media this week, adding yet another chapter to a launch run already haunted by past security breaches.
Grand Theft Auto VI Cyberleek incident: What leaked?

Two gameplay clips surfaced online recently: one showing the protagonist, Jason, shooting hoops outside his waterfront home, and another showing a road-rage confrontation with a delivery driver that escalates into a violent encounter with police in pursuit.
In addition, an image reportedly showing the game's full map, covering the Florida-inspired state of Leonida, also circulated. Rockstar has not confirmed the material is genuine, though outlets covering the leak, like PC Gamer, described the clips as looking authentic, noting they resemble the kind of mundane test footage a QA tester might capture.
Reporters combing through this footage flagged several gameplay systems not previously confirmed. A six-star wanted system appears to return, alongside a new police awareness indicator that tracks what officers know about a suspect's clothing, appearance, and vehicle.

A stamina meter seems tied to melee combat, which outlets compared to the fistfighting in Red Dead Redemption 2, and a small on-screen icon suggests some form of morality or karma system reacting to violent actions.
Cars appear to track fuel and engine condition for the first time in the series, and a basketball mini-game seems to raise a "Focus" stat. The map leak reportedly shows both playable characters' locations simultaneously, along with race tracks and a small airstrip near the Keys that some speculated could be a military base.
The genuine leak has also opened the door to a wave of misinformation.
According to Kotaku, AI-generated clips and screenshots have been circulating alongside the real footage, with some users passing them off as part of the new leak. Old footage from GTA VI's 2022 breach has reportedly been recirculated and mislabeled as new material, making it harder for fans to distinguish authentic clips from fabricated AI slop or recycled videos.
Kotaku noted that the footage in this latest leak, if genuine, appears to come from a build considerably further along in development than the one that leaked in 2022, though the exact age of the footage remains unknown.
The Cyberleek group reportedly has a manifesto that lists several demands for Rockstar and other publishers, threatening further leaks if the demands aren't met. A second leak followed within a day of the first, this time showing taser gameplay and a cutscene, along with an unrelated promotion for a cryptocurrency token.
The leak arrives just ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, a Netflix-exclusive gameplay reveal scheduled for Aug. 27. GTA VI is due out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on Nov. 19, 2026.

Why's the police not arresting for illegal turn?
ReplyDeleteFair point, delayed to 2040
DeleteI mean police in real life can be pretty dumb tbf
DeleteRockstar was well aware this game would not meet expectations which is why the took your $100 before showing you a product, they banked on your stupidity and it paid off
DeleteWhy tf would you want to get a wanted level for driving recklessly in a GTA game? Are you stupid?
Deleteits just stupid ahh hate
DeleteYou realize you can cancel that charge right? My XBox account hasn't charged me yet, and it doesnt charge the $100 until 2 weeks before the release. I can cancel that at any point before then and be fine.
DeleteI see the term driving is being used pretty loosely
ReplyDeleteA escala de distância está um maximo 👍
ReplyDeleteQué nivel de realismo hay cuando el camión choca la camioneta de Jason y se puede la cara de reacción de Jason sorprendido y a la vez asustado sorprendente, GTA 6 va a romperla
ReplyDeleteArthur Morgan has changed a lot
ReplyDeleteShit genuinely
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fucking amazing...........sureal asf tbh......😵💫😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤯🤯 literally looks like everything I've ever wanted

I kinda wished they would add a little more diversity when it comes to the NPC's dialogue, not every human being is some scanky ass idiot who curses in every sentence.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I hope for most is that damage physics take inspiration from GTA IV and not V.
ReplyDeleteI want to see the damage to the vehicles and the car's getting progressively more messed up, not just generic scratches and dents.
I was hoping the damage physics would take inspiration from BeamNG and be much less forgiving. But it appears it's most similar to GTA V, probably a little bit more advanced
DeleteI heard that you have to get gas in this I can see it now have to get gas every 48 minutes and cost $1000.00 for full tank Thats shitstars and gready two interactive shark card policy to get us to buy them
ReplyDeletelooks like gta v enchamded edition
ReplyDeleteAin't no way people saying they disappointed in this game lol this shit gonna be game of the year for the next ten years and this is a year and a half old build btw
ReplyDeleteMelee combat looks like shit.
ReplyDeleteLast of us did it better
NGL it just looks like gta v enhanced with slightly different shaders
ReplyDeleteIts almost like the game isnt finished LMAO
Deletehttps://imgur.com/a/Dx9RXhr
DeleteWhy it's not so clear
ReplyDeleteHe’s breaking my butt! 😂
ReplyDeleteI need to be able to do rideouts while doroad is on the radio telling me about how he had the rotty in the rucksack.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣
DeleteGame looks shite
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a diluted version of Watch Dogs
DeleteSome of these leaks r from 2023 nd some r from this year
Deletewait do you know which leaks are from which year? Some of these leaks are kinda disappointing
DeleteSome of the earlier leaks are from 2023 and 2024, I’m pretty sure he’s got a beta version since he’s only shown a few cutscenes at the start and nothing really much else and is still broke despite showing several vids, I doubt rockstar would be sending out full copies out to anyone especially if they’re worried about leaks the whole reason they didn’t do disks
Deletecope, it still looks the same today. Expect downgrade
DeleteWhat downgrade? If anything, there's gonna be an upgrade. I swear you niggas just hate because you wanna be different
DeleteComment deleted by user
DeleteAh yes a game dev build from a year or so ago looks shit. I guess you are blind lmao, looks better than most games out now in this state lol
DeleteYou're aware that all the graphical stuff is done very late stage in development? This is a leak.
Deletelooks good but ngl i really hate games where everything looks like it’s hydroplaning man, i remember being bare young playing saints row 2 on my ps3 and thats how that game felt, ts from 2025 so hopefully they done something to it by now
ReplyDeleteIdk am I bugging shouldn’t da graphics be way better compared to its 13 year old pre descendant
ReplyDeletelook at one gta 5 (standard, not enhanced) gameplay and watch the leak again.
DeleteThey would’ve started on the game before 12 years ago, that’s the thing with these long releases, it’s all huge content updates but not great updates to the actual visual display of the game if that makes sense. I think gta6 is gonna be like gta5 with a massive dlc rather than a generational changing game if that makes sense
DeletePeople are way too hyped about this game and are expecting way to much, it will be a massive dissapointment for a lot of people. GTA 5 didnt look as good when it came out on ps3 as it does today on current gen consoles and pc's after updates and especially mods. Graphics and game engines have only come so far, and when you think of gta 5 graphics you arent remembering the 2013 ps3/360 release graphics, you are probably remembering the massively updated and better optimised next gen more recent versions, which will have much less of a graphics difference than the original release.
DeleteThe ps5 version of the game was released in 2022 with a big graphics update so you at least have to compare it with that, which is much more recent
These games are also always released very badly optimised and unfinished, and take months or years after release to look and feel good to play, rockstars tendency to release unfinished games and fix them later, and peoples expectations being unreasonably high is going to leave a lot of people pissed
When did GTA V even look good? The graphics were always below average.
DeleteComment deleted by user
DeleteThat’s why they haven’t released anything; because they know the game is trash. They are planning on selling people a shitty product for 100 dollars
Deleteexactly and tbh the trailers for gta 5 looked wayy better and was more entertaining and fulfilling than the bs we currently get
DeleteShame the driving still looks the same as GTA 5 instead of GTA 4
ReplyDeleteIt’s way more weighty and realistic but not as sluggish. It’s like in-between GTA4 and GTA5
DeleteThat’s a rumour. You’ve not played it.
DeleteNot a rumour mate you can see it with your own eyes in the leaks.
Deletethis is basically watch dogs
ReplyDeleteIt’s RDR 2 with a Vice City skin
Deleteliterally what ts reminds me of
DeleteReminds me of mafia 3
ReplyDeleteIs this real? how this not taken down if it is
ReplyDeleteIt is real
DeleteNot real bro
Deleteahhh i was kinda liking the fighting style n pistol whipping smh lol
DeleteIt’s possibly real, and not final product. There have been copyright takedown requests.
DeleteIt’s probably already finish and that’s what it will look like, deal with it 👍🏻 To be honest, I also expected more, but yes, what should you do, that’s how it is
DeleteThe user interface looks too similar to gta 5. Not pleased
ReplyDeleteMy bad Jonker
DeleteDid u just call yourself a jonker?
DeleteSaw what you deleted mate
Deleteyeah I deleted cus I felt bad
DeleteAww
Deletehope ur okay
DeleteYes because it’s finished
DeleteLooks shit, ngl.

ReplyDeletei really hope that the little devil emoji for the honor loss or karma loss or whatever theyre gonna call it is just a placeholder
ReplyDeleteDont know what people are seeing this looks good to me
ReplyDeleteThis is an old build of the game to and it looks good imagine how the updated build is
DeleteWhy the run looks zesty
ReplyDeleteI just wanted slightly better crash physics. I guess not tho
ReplyDeleteWe got GTA 6 before GTA 6.
ReplyDeleteComment has been removed
DeleteWtf is zombix
ReplyDeleteThey could have just found a balance between the two, but that takes work and money and CEO,s don't like when spend money on what needed it comes out of their bonus checks lol
ReplyDeleteThe movement feels like rdr2 a more realistic approach which i like.
ReplyDeleteman this looks so peak i can't wait to play it in like 3 years
ReplyDeleteJust a few small details and a little better graphics there is nothing more
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty nice to me
ReplyDeleteUgly ass jumpshot. Using no legs 😂
ReplyDeleteGTA 5 WITH SOME MODS I M DONE ...
ReplyDeleteYeah it's way better than gta 5 in every aspects but I hope it's still a beta version
ReplyDeleteLooks boring, I'm not getting this shit until It's in sale or something.
ReplyDeletetrash UI. They better change them.
ReplyDeleteSo the cops don't react with an accident in front of them and the cars barely get damaged when hit ... where is the reality? I hope the game isn't like this because it will be a disappointment.. rd2 is 8 years old and is looking a lot better
ReplyDeletegame looks bland as fuck
ReplyDeleteNO CAR PHYSICS FROM GTA 4, this is a disgrace
ReplyDelete😩

ReplyDeleteThank you Rainer winkler
ReplyDeletethe fighting at 4:18 looks so much worse than in gta 5 imo. just with all that camera effect bullshit it looks so weird
ReplyDeleteJrpgs >
ReplyDeletePersona 5 Royals the only one I’ve played. One of my favourite games ever
DeleteCheck out ys 9
DeleteI love that no one minds this is posted here regardless of it having nothing to do with uk drill. Guys being guys
ReplyDeleteROCK STAR UR DONE BROO ...
ReplyDeleteleak cornball
ReplyDeleteI saw a clip in a leaked video where you can ride an electric scooter and fish. That’s already an improvement. I thought it dope.
ReplyDeletewhere?
DeleteI search for it here but couldn't find it; my brother showed it to me on Instagram, but if you open it on X, you'll find it—try searching on Google, too. You have to check if it's authentic, though, right? With all these leaks going around, AI could definitely be involved.
Deletehttps://x.com/search?q=gta%206%20leak&src=typed_query
With so many leaks going around, by the time the game actually launches, everyone will have already seen the whole thing.
ReplyDeletePS4 ahh graphics 🥀🥀
ReplyDeletesembra watch dogs e terribile

DeleteGta6 game play
ReplyDeleteAnyone see any new weapons? bows?
ReplyDeleteThis feels a lot like GTA 5
ReplyDeleteIts not done yet, this is just unfinished footage
DeleteI love the car physics, a big improvement over the arcade shit gta 5 had.
ReplyDeleteBut theres no car damage in this game for what i see
I think it's js unfinished so we can't say anything yet
DeleteGame looks good but you can defenitly notice a slight downgrade
ReplyDeleteLooks like watch dogs 2 tbh
ReplyDeleteGta 5 in a different map
ReplyDeleteNutcracker
ReplyDeleteIf this is real then it’s not exactly living up to the hype, then again I don’t see the same amount of hype as I did for GTA 5… the experience itself was unreal.
ReplyDeletethis is the issue with leaks you watch the most comppressed extremely likely to be ancient footage and then people respond like this. this isnt old build defense for devs. bro genuinely is playing off whatever random build he snagged from the servers lol. its OKAYYYY. it will be fine EVERY GAME looks not so well before launch and yes even 1 year before launch builds graphics get optimised and finished around 15 to 18 months before lauch. every time. and yes a game can look finished asf at the same time in the old build. textures go bur
Deletethis isn't even the finished version, this is the alpha
Deleteimagine believing this lol
DeleteThis is close to the final product.
It says 2023 build in the file name lmao
DeleteYou literally see jason's head phasing through the roof of the car when he gets in, knowing rockstars specific attention to detail in rdr2, you're very mistaken. Just say you don't know anything about game development. If they still have to fix that, it obviously means animations aren't done, which I think are pretty important and usually done in mid development. If they still have to fix animations in late development I'm sure there'd be many bugs because the code is more important to fix near the end. Also remembering their delays, they wouldn't have any excuse for big bugs.
DeleteMan, I hope then they flesh out the animations because they look janky.
DeleteThe vehicle physics. Inertia, body roll. Have r* decided that arcade driving is too meh and opted to return nearer to gta 4 vehicle motion principles?!? Maybe I won't hate this. Unless of course they dropped the ball in other important regards.
ReplyDeleteI know this is real because it's coming from Cyberleek. Who is a really stupid hacker who believes Rockstar is gonna negotiate with him to "save gamers rights" while simultaneously trying to sell people his digital cryptocurrency.
ReplyDeleteThere're enough fake leaks, you need to give prove it's real
ReplyDeleteComment has been removed
DeleteIf this is real, this just looks like a slightly better gta5
ReplyDeleteLooks like gta5....i don't get this franchise
ReplyDeleteReally?
ReplyDeleteGenuinely looks like saints row dud
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteI can’t believe people think rockstar is going to release a half baked game or even one that’s subpar. The mechanics are going to be at least as good if not better than red dead. Just wait like 7 days for the extended look to release. This footage looks great regardless
ReplyDeleteRed dead no way it's 2026 needs to be better than that
DeleteIt said pick up. You can pick people up!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's real
ReplyDeleteThe footsteps sounds just like Rdr2
ReplyDeletered dead redemption ah
ReplyDeleteIs this the way it’s going to look on release? It looks identical to rdr2. I hope it’s more polished than this.
ReplyDeleteThis was from over a year ago...
DeleteAnyone still getting GTA VI on Xbox and PlayStation despite the leaks and shit?
ReplyDeletehow a few leaks gonna change peoples mind about getting this game?
Delete
DeleteSome people saying that they refunded their purchases and aren't getting it at all. Which I believe is bull, the leaks won't stop me because they are like 2-3+ years old. But I am 50/50 at the moment, want to see more when trailer 3 comes out, need to story gameplay, activities and other features before buying.
Would like to think that _GTA VI_ won't let us down for having been in development since 2014. Going to stay positive until release and hope that the wait is worth it.
What about you, and what console you playing and which GTA edition?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteEh. Thats looks exactly like gta 5
ReplyDeleteDid we watch something else? I see a huge difference from gta 5
Deletea bit disappointing tbh
ReplyDeleteDid you think these leaks are coming from a finished game? The only thing you should be taking away from this is what the graphics are like and what mechanics might be in the game. Rdr2 looked weird like this at some point in the development.
DeleteIts a early version from 2024.
Deleteno idc about all of that I just dislike honour system
DeleteHmm I get that. Getting to play on a sandbox game but sandboxxing actually punishes you. This was my gripe with RDR2 aswel. Everytime I strung up an npc and blew him up of whatever I get a dishonor prompt. While I am like, fuck you mean?
DeleteBut you’re not being punished, nothing happens besides a different ending lol
DeleteIt is a punishment, the stuff gets more expensive liberdade npc know what u are doing without even ever knowing about u or what u did.
DeleteUsing the word "punish" very loosely
Deletehttps://imgur.com/a/3YQyv4j
ReplyDeleteHope you don't get absolutely butt fucked by rockstar once they done with cyberleak

DeleteIt looks pretty much exactly how I expected it to look and I'm very happy about that. I don't understand why Rockstar has been so uptight about it. Game looks great.
ReplyDeleteIm not happy with the design of the Weapons hud. It looks tacky/cheap compared to GTA 5s weapon wheel UI
ReplyDeleteIts more realistic than carrying a military arsenal in your pocket
DeleteAlmost guaranteed a lot of things in these leaks are still placeholders. These leaks are from a build that's over a year old...
DeleteReally what’s wrong with it?
DeleteI can’t unsee the cop animation skipping to the point where it needs to be to react to the hit I can see why this slop kept getting delayed
ReplyDeleteCalling it slop is kinda too far. But yeah it needs some polishing/testing. Which can take a lot more time than actually developing. It was weird the cop got up on both legs instantly the moment he got sliced. But hey it is still a videogame.
DeleteI'm not gonna be buying a console just to play this so idc about it being spoiled. I'm not to suprised to see leakers having a field day with this game.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to get it free 😂
DeleteHe killed a cop and got away, I guess it's not super realistic
