In a nutshell
- Gameplay Clips Leak: Footage shows exploration, six‑star wanted level, stamina, and refueling mechanics.
- Insider Says Old Footage: Reliable Insider Nate the Hate says footage is over a year old
- Leaker Threats: “CYBERLEEK” vows more leaks unless Rockstar and publishers apologize and change monetization practices.
Ahead of the extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI at Netflix scheduled for August 27, leaks have allegedly begun to surface.
Grand Theft Auto VI Gameplay Footage Surfaces
Several clips of alleged Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay recently surfaced on social media, showcasing mechanics such as a six‑star wanted level, NPC interactions, car refueling, stamina management, and loadout systems.
One notable video even depicts Jason playing basketball outside his beachfront home. Take‑Two Interactive has been actively issuing DMCA strikes against these uploads, which adds weight to the credibility of the leaks.
Leaked Footage is Old Footage
Reputable insiders like NateTheHate argue that the gameplay itself is likely from 2024 or earlier, according to a post on ResetEra. NateTheHate also says that unless previews are ongoing, the footage cannot be recent.
Um…. unless a new round of previews are underway, this claim isn’t accurate. Also, the leaked footage is over a year old.
Leaker Threatens Publishers
The situation escalated further when the leaker, identifying as “CYBERLEEK,” issued a manifesto targeting Rockstar and other major publishers. Their demands included banning digital‑only preorders, ending fake single‑player DLC, and preserving single‑player content. CYBERLEEK warned that disruptions would continue until publishers publicly apologize and commit to change, specifically criticizing Rockstar for locking content behind Ultimate Edition and digital preorder practices.
