15 GTA 6 Details From New Gameplay Leak

Two clips purportedly showcasing gameplay from Grand Theft Auto 6 have surfaced online, accompanied by images depicting the entire map of Leonida. The footage, allegedly published by a group known as Cyberleek, has since circulated on social media. However, Rockstar has not officially confirmed the authenticity of the material, so all displayed elements should be considered unverified at this stage.

Rockstar has been actively removing the leaked content via DMCA notices, indicating the material was likely from an earlier development build. Due to legal reasons, we will refrain from sharing any of the leaked footage or images.

Both gameplay clips present Jason, one of GTA 6's two protagonists. One clip shows him playing basketball outside his waterfront residence, while another depicts him becoming involved in a road-rage incident following a collision with a delivery truck, followed by a police response and an attempt to escape. The unremarkable nature of the footage has led observers to speculate that it might have originated from internal testing rather than promotional content. However, the source and age of the footage remain uncertain.

A key revelation in the footage is the potential return of a six-star wanted system, which was previously reduced to five stars in GTA 5. This suggests that players may need to be more resourceful in escaping law enforcement, as changing clothing or switching vehicles could play a more significant role in avoiding detection. Additionally, the footage appears to feature an interface element displaying a stealth-detection indicator, indicating how close police officers are to spotting the player.

This could lead to more opportunities for hiding from the police instead of merely driving away until the wanted level is cleared. A stamina meter is also visible during combat and gradually depletes as Jason fights.

One of the more surprising leaked details is an apparent fuel meter for vehicles, which displays both fuel levels and engine condition. This suggests that players may need to monitor their vehicles' gas levels more closely. Cars also seem to have storage and loadout slots, potentially allowing players to carry equipment inside their vehicles. These mechanics, popular in GTA 5 mods, have not traditionally been a major aspect of the main games, and they could still be altered or removed before the game's release.

The footage shows Jason engaging in a basketball minigame, which involves timing-based button presses to successfully make shots and increase a stat called Focus. The ultimate purpose of Focus remains unclear, but comparisons are being made to character abilities from GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Another symbol appearing after violent actions has led to speculation about a morality or reputation system, but there is currently insufficient evidence to confirm this interpretation.

Interestingly, both Jason and the other protagonist, Lucia, can be seen simultaneously on the map. One notable feature of the map includes a vehicle marked with a "J," presumably representing Jason, while the player controls Lucia. If accurate, this indicates that GTA 6 might allow players to observe where the other protagonist is located without switching characters.

Additionally, the map features multiple racetracks, Jason's residence in the southern part of Leonida, and what could be a military facility or airport. However, these locations have not been confirmed. Rockstar has announced that GTA 6: An Extended Look will premiere on August 27, both on Netflix and YouTube, providing a more in-depth official look at the game.

The highly anticipated release of GTA 6 itself is set for November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
