Latest GTA 6 Leak of Nude Character Is a Bad Crypto Scheme Fundraiser
The leaker group is threatening to post the game’s full storyline ahead of its Nov. 19 release.
As the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 draws nearer, another leak has surfaced, this time revealing a nude character within the game. Online group Cyberleek posted footage of one of the game's main characters, Lucia, partaking in activities like walking in public and skydiving nude. While some believe the leaked material may stem from an earlier developer build with nudity capabilities, the leakers have warned of an impending release of the game's entire main storyline ahead of the Nov.
19 launch. This follows a separate leak involving Jason, the other main character, who was seen nude for most of a 24-minute video.
The leaked files are available on sites with a $40 paywall, though some clips have also appeared on free websites and social media. Cyberleek claims to have more footage to release, with titles such as "Police shootout," "Beach massacre," and "Fight Jet," all due before a full gameplay release. The leakers are demanding that publisher Take-Two Interactive issue a physical, disc-based version of the game, stating that they are unhappy with the digital-only release.
However, a digital release appears to be non-negotiable at this stage, with altering the production timeline practically impossible.
Rather than a genuine concern for the game's integrity, it seems likely that Cyberleek's true motive is financial. The online group is urging supporters to invest in their meme coin, threatening to leak the full GTA 6 build if the coin reaches a market valuation of $30 million. As of now, the coin's value has fluctuated between approximately $2 million and $7 million, with its volatility further fueled by news of the leak.
Rockstar Games, the studio behind GTA 6, has been actively investigating previous leaks and has expressed displeasure with groups attempting to spoil the game. In August, Rockstar posted on X, stating that the leaks were "heartbreaking" and telling players, "this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time."
In late August, Rockstar released 27 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay footage, which did not contain nudity. Despite this, fans have been speculating about how R-rated the final version of the game could be in terms of its sexual content. Rockstar, which spent over a dozen years developing the game, has been meticulously managing its rollout and collaborating with authorities to shut down repositories featuring leaked assets.
The game will be exclusively released on PlayStation 5 consoles for $80 to $100, depending on the edition gamers purchase.
