Grand Theft Auto VI leakers failed to hit memecoin goal and will hold off on releasing the game.

GTA 6 Cyberleek update: Leaker linked GTA 6 reveals to crypto play. It’s crashing spectacularly.

Cyberleek, the group known for leaking Grand Theft Auto VI materials, appears to have given up on their plan to release a full build of the game for those who supported their memecoin. Initially, they claimed that purchasing Cyberleek's cryptocurrency would grant gamers access to the GTA 6 build. However, the memecoin's market cap reached only $7.8 million, falling short of the $30 million required for the promised release.

As the situation became clear, the memecoin's value plummeted to $1.17 million. The leakers had been successful with similar tactics in the past, offering exclusive access to GTA 6 content based on memecoin purchases. Nonetheless, Cyberleek seems to have miscalculated this time, leaving the 200GB full build untouched. They continue to utilize their access to the game in an attempt to avoid legal consequences from Take-Two, the parent company behind Rockstar Games.
