With just one more day to go before Grand Theft Auto VI makes its big official debut (of sorts) on Netflix, the leaker known as Cyberleek is still on a tear. Shortly after Rockstar Games issued a statement about the GTA 6 leaks on Wednesday, Cyberleek released story spoilers for the first time by uploading an extended clip of a prologue introducing the Lucia Caminos character.
Over the past week, someone (or perhaps a group of people) called Cyberleek has been busy sharing short gameplay clips of GTA 6 left and right. On Aug. 20, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of GTA-maker Rockstar Games, filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to try to unmask the leaker, followed soon after by subpoenas against Google and X Corp. Those filings specifically cited “stolen content,” seemingly confirming that at least some of the Cyberleek videos are legitimate.
The GTA 6 leaks represent the first glimpse of gameplay from the hotly anticipated title. In addition, countless AI-generated videos posing as “leaks” are also circulating widely on social media. So, we’ve put together a quick list of everything Cyberleek has released so far. We’re not going to embed or link to any of these clips; however, they’re easy enough to find on X or Reddit if you look hard enough.
Every GTA 6 leak from Cyberleek so far
At the time of publication, 16 gameplay clips and three map screenshots have been posted by Cyberleek that show different aspects of GTA 6, including glimpses of cutscenes. The leaker has so far avoided posting major plot spoilers started posting story spoilers in the most recent release, so be careful if you want to avoid them.
Here are the GTA 6 leaks Cyberleek has shared so far:
-
Map sneak peek 1: A small, cropped portion of the in-game world map, showing a location called Dalton Island.
-
Map sneak peek 2: Another cropped portion of the map showing locations called Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.
-
Basketball video: A clip of protagonist Jason Duval throwing a basketball into a hoop in a mini-game.
-
Full map: An alleged view of the entire in-game map.
-
Random video 1: A clip of Jason driving around for a little bit before beating up a truck driver.
-
Taser video: A clip of Jason driving at night, stealing a security guard’s taser, and using it on him. Jason then repeatedly kicks the guard while he is on the ground.
-
Junkies video: A clip that appears to show a healing drug called Zombix. A tooltip indicates that Zombix’s effects will weaken over time if the player uses it too much.
-
Plane video: A clip of Jason flying a plane over Vice City, with much of the game world visible below. At the end, whoever is playing the game in the clip shoots the word “LEEK” into a wall with bullets, suggesting the leaker has a playable build of the game.
-
Hypercar part 1: A clip of Jason driving a high-end sports car around Vice City.
-
Hypercar part 2: A clip of Jason driving the sports car some more, before committing armed robbery.
-
Strip club: Jason wanders around a strip club, then a short clip of an in-game cutscene is shown.
-
Gas station: Jason causes trouble at a gas station, steals a truck with a bed full of gasoline, and crashes and dies; more of the previous cutscene is shown.
-
Plane video 2: Jason flies a plane over Vice City at night.
-
Nudist colony: Jason explores a nudist hangout spot (where the NPCs are, obviously, nude) and attacks NPCs.
-
Nightclub: A pretty uneventful video of Jason walking around the interior of a nightclub.
-
Beach cycling: Jason riding a bicycle on a beach full of NPCs.
-
Video game store: Jason walking around a video game store with shelves full of fake video game boxes.
-
How does Cyberleek drive?: Jason steals a hotrod and evades the police; the clip ends with a cutscene showing Lucia Caminos, the game’s second playable character, for the first time. Caminos talks about someone who “drives like a bitch.”
-
Lucia prologue: A four-and-a-half-minute video of a prologue introducing Caminos; the clip includes minor story spoilers.
We can’t authenticate any of the Cyberleek videos, and we live in a world where it’s easy to generate convincing AI videos. That said, as someone who has played nearly every GTA game, they all seem fairly convincing. GTA games all move in a certain way, and that movement appears to be recreated remarkably well in these videos. Everything from character movement to NPC interactions looks relatively on-brand for a modern Rockstar game.
On top of that, Rockstar Games finally acknowledged the leak in a statement, calling it “heartbreaking.” The statement all but confirms the leaked gameplay clips are the real deal.
What could Cyberleek release next?
Cyberleek has been running polls on its website that allow people to pay in cryptocurrency to vote on what should be leaked next. In recent days, Cyberleek teased footage featuring the Lucia Caminos character, in particular. On Wednesday, Cyberleek made good on those promises and released a short cutscene with Caminos, followed by an extended look at the character’s prologue.
Cyberleek doesn’t have any active polls online as of this writing. Their most recent comments suggest more videos featuring Caminos are coming, and soon.
Of course, you can also wait for real, official gameplay footage, which is set to debut on Netflix on Aug. 27.
Mashable has contacted Rockstar and Take-Two repeatedly with questions about the leaks, and we’ll update this story if we receive a response.
