New GTA 6 leaked footage shows Jason shooting hoops and causing chaos on the road
New GTA 6 footage has leaked ahead of Rockstar’s planned reveal, showing Jason playing basketball, driving and interacting with systems that could add more depth to gameplay.
Two short videos, each under a minute, have emerged online, purportedly showcasing gameplay from Grand Theft Auto VI. The footage, which appears to originate from an unfinished build, features protagonist Jason engaging in recreational activities and driving a modified vehicle. In one clip, Jason is shown sinking a basketball, after which a "Focus" stat appears on-screen, suggesting that such activities might influence gameplay in some way.
In the second clip, Jason drives a heavily modified 1970 Vapid Ganado pickup truck. During this sequence, a mail truck repeatedly crashes into his vehicle before the driver eventually stops to fight Jason. An icon resembling a devil appears after Jason emerges victorious, potentially indicating an honor or reputation system. The footage also reveals prompts for changing Jason's equipment and small vehicle-related icons on the mini-map when he resumes driving.
These details may hint at a more grounded approach to gameplay. However, the limited footage and the fact that it comes from an unfinished build make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. The timing of the leak is particularly puzzling as Rockstar Games is set to unveil GTA VI through Netflix in nine days. This early leak offers only a brief, low-quality glimpse at a game that Rockstar still has the opportunity to present properly.
Some observers speculate that the footage may date back to 2023, implying that the final game could look substantially better. Regardless, the most intriguing aspect of the footage lies not in the brief moments of driving or basketball, but in the potential introduction of smaller systems like "Focus," equipment management, and possible reputation mechanics.
These systems could indicate that Rockstar is incorporating more layers of interaction into the game. Until the official reveal, these conclusions remain speculative. The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI is immense, with the game expected to be the biggest entertainment release of the year. While 2026 is still a year away, the gaming world is eagerly waiting for Vice City to return, and the buildup to GTA VI is already proving to be a significant event.
