New GTA 6 gameplay just leaked, and Rockstar can't take it down fast enough
Two low-resolution clips attributed to an X account calling itself CyberLeek appear to show previously unseen gameplay from GTA 6. Although the footage lasts only a couple of minutes, Take-Two's rapid but ultimately ineffective copyright takedowns suggest the clips are genuine. Read Entire Article
Grand Theft Auto VI is on the brink of release, with only a few weeks to go before its November 19th debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. The anticipation surrounding the game is at an all-time high, but a recent leak has thrown a wrench into the works. An anonymous leaker, known as CyberLeek, has released two low-resolution clips of GTA 6 gameplay, showing previously unseen action from the game.
One clip features Jason, one of the game's two playable characters, engaging in a basketball minigame at a house previously seen in trailers. The game appears to incorporate RPG-like mechanics, as seen in a stat that increases with each successful shot of the basketball. Another video showcases Jason in a car accident, using a wrench as a melee weapon and encountering a wanted meter that reaches six stars, unlike GTA 5's five.
The leaker also shared what appears to be the complete world map of GTA 6, which is set on a large island with a major city and several smaller towns and wilderness areas. Interestingly, the leaker is promoting a cryptocurrency token at the same time, adding a new layer to the leak. Despite the leak, CyberLeek plans to release more material in the near future, though they claim to be rate-limited.
The leak is the most significant breach against Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games since 2022, when a hacker released over 90 videos and screenshots.
Prominent leaker NateTheHate claims the footage in the leak is likely from 2024, as it is over a year old, but it still represents the latest build shown publicly. So far, Rockstar has only released trailers with brief gameplay snippets, but the leak provides a more extensive look at the game. Grand Theft Auto VI will be available on the aforementioned platforms on November 19th, with a Standard Edition priced at $80 and an Ultimate Edition at $100.
The leaker's actions are partly motivated by their protest against Rockstar's shift towards a digital-only release and Sony's plans to stop manufacturing physical discs for PlayStation games after January 2028.
