Since August, someone (or perhaps a group of people) called Cyberleek has been very busy sharing various gameplay clips of Grand Theft Auto 6. On Aug. 20, Take-Two Interactive, the parent related company term of GTA-maker Rockstar Games, filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to try to unmask the leaker, followed soon after by subpoenas against Google and X Corp. Those filings specifically cited “stolen content variation,” seemingly confirming that at least some of the Cyberleek videos are legitimate.
Prior to the August “Extended Look” on Netflix, the GTA 6 leaks represented the first real glimpse of gameplay from the hotly anticipated title. After the Netflix trailer, Cyberleek stopped for more than a month, before suddenly reappearing in October with a 24-minute gameplay video. We’re not going to embed or link to any of these clips; however, they’re easy enough to find on X or Reddit if you look hard enough.
Every GTA 6 leak from Cyberleek so far
At the time of publication, more than a dozen gameplay clips and map screenshots have been posted by Cyberleek that show different aspects of GTA 6, including glimpses of cutscenes. The leaker did post some minor story spoilers in the most recent release, so be careful if you want to avoid them.
Here are the GTA 6 leaks Cyberleek has shared so far:
-
Map sneak peek 1: A small, cropped portion of the in-game world map, showing a location called Dalton Island.
-
Map sneak peek 2: Another cropped portion of the map showing locations called Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.
-
Basketball video: A clip of protagonist Jason Duval throwing a basketball into a hoop in a mini-game.
-
Full map: An alleged view of the entire in-game map.
-
Random video 1: A clip of Jason driving around for a little bit before beating up a truck driver.
-
Taser video: A clip of Jason driving at night, stealing a security guard’s taser, and using it on him. Jason then repeatedly kicks the guard while he is on the ground.
-
Junkies video: A clip that appears to show a healing drug called Zombix. A tooltip indicates that Zombix’s effects will weaken over time if the player uses it too much.
-
Plane video: A clip of Jason flying a plane over Vice City, with much of the game world visible below. At the end, whoever is playing the game in the clip shoots the word “LEEK” into a wall with bullets, suggesting the leaker has a playable build of the game.
-
Hypercar part 1: A clip of Jason driving a high-end sports car around Vice City.
-
Hypercar part 2: A clip of Jason driving the sports car some more, before committing armed robbery.
-
Strip club: Jason wanders around a strip club, then a short clip of an in-game cutscene is shown.
-
Gas station: Jason causes trouble at a gas station, steals a truck with a bed full of gasoline, and crashes and dies; more of the previous cutscene is shown.
-
Plane video 2: Jason flies a plane over Vice City at night.
-
Nudist colony: Jason explores a nudist hangout spot (where the NPCs are, obviously, nude) and attacks NPCs.
-
Nightclub: A pretty uneventful video of Jason walking around the interior of a nightclub.
-
Beach cycling: Jason riding a bicycle on a beach full of NPCs.
-
Video game store: Jason walking around a video game store with shelves full of fake video game boxes.
-
How does Cyberleek drive?: Jason steals a hotrod and evades the police; the clip ends with a cutscene showing Lucia Caminos, the game’s second playable character, for the first time. Caminos talks about someone who “drives like a bitch.”
-
Lucia prologue: A four-and-a-half-minute video of a prologue introducing Caminos; the clip includes minor story spoilers.
-
24-minute extended leak: A long video featuring multiple vehicular races, car customization, first-person gameplay, and both protagonists rendered in the nude.
What could Cyberleek release next?
The latest Cyberleek video ended with an allusion to some sort of long-term “project,” the likes of which we know nothing about. It’s not clear if more leaks are coming or not, but given the October dump, it’s possible we’ll see more from Cyberleek before the game launches in November.
You can see the game officially now
Speaking of the Netflix trailer, it’s now on YouTube in all of its 26-minute glory. There were plenty of little details that Cyberleek never showed, such as gameplay footage of Lucia, among many other things. If you want a real idea of how GTA 6 works, you’re probably better off watching the Netflix video than anything Cyberleek posted at this point.
