Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive have spent the past week watching pieces of GTA 6 slip into public view one short clip at a time. A figure or group operating under the name Cyberleek began posting what looks like real gameplay footage on August 18. By the middle of this week the videos had piled up past a half-dozen, some of them still circulating even after the main website and Telegram channel went dark.
New GTA 6 leaked gameplay video:
– The clip ends with a “Return to Lucia” objective.
– Gore and dismemberment are present, with an NPC appearing to lose a leg after Jason runs him over with the truck.
– The NPC’s reactions show detailed ragdoll physics as he attempts to fight… pic.twitter.com/G5q4kapjDI— GTA 6 Updates (@gtasix_) August 23, 2026
A lot of the action takes place from Jason’s perspective, one of the two main characters. Early on, you see him playing hoops outside a familiar house, climbing into vehicles, and even getting a little combative with a truck driver, whipping out a wrench and subsequently tasing and kicking him while he’s down on the ground. Jason spends some time behind the wheel of a high-performance sports car, cruising down the highway with no actual excitement, simply the act of driving itself. Another scene has him soaring through the skies in a jet at night, the radio blaring, city lights below him, and the shoreline extending out in all directions. Near the end of that flight, he fires a gun at a wall, and bullets with the word “LEEK” written on them appear, and that single detail led many people to believe the person recording had obtained a playable version rather than stolen pre-rendered clips.

Gas stations have become a common location, and in one of the most recent clips, Jason appears, watches as someone puts fuel into a tub resting in the back of a pickup truck, and then steals the vehicle. The owner tries to stop him, and Jason ends up driving him over, resulting in blood and a severed leg, before crashing with another car, displaying the classic “Wasted” warning for the first time in these leaks. A brief toilet sequence follows, and after it concludes, there is a prompt on the screen telling you to “Return to Lucia,” which is the first time we’ve seen the second main character in whatever build the leaker is playing.
Cyberleek has framed all of this as a protest. They have said that the lack of a physical disk for GTA 6 is a concern, and that digital releases and exclusive material for special editions constitute a rip-off. At the same time, every video they release includes watermarks and QR codes for a crypto currency called $CYBERLEEK, and they promise to release more footage if the token’s value rises. To be honest, it’s a bit of a mixed message, with elements of protest and sales pitch.
Despite the leaked footage, Rockstar has not adjusted its release plans, with an Extended Look on Netflix on August 27 and the complete game scheduled for November 19 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Cyberleek’s footage appears to be quite ancient, with early build animation issues and unfinished scenery throughout. There are minimal story moments, with only a few short sequences and a hint of a second character in the prompt to “Return to Lucia.” Cyberleek promises more, but Take-Two is attempting to shut them down. However, for the time being, the leaks continue to flow.
