    GTA 6 Cyberleek Update: Everything Leaked So Far and What Could Come Next

    Cyberleek, the name used by an apparent group or individual sharing Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay clips, has released at least 16 videos and three map screenshots. The leaks offer glimpses of gameplay, cutscenes, locations and both playable protagonists ahead of the game’s official promotional footage.

    Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of GTA developer Rockstar Games, filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord on Aug. 20 in an effort to identify the leaker. The company later filed subpoenas against Google and X Corp. The legal filings referred to “stolen content,” apparently confirming that at least some of the Cyberleek videos are genuine.

    The leaks provided the first substantial look at GTA 6 gameplay before Thursday’s “Extended Look” appeared on Netflix. At the same time, large numbers of AI-generated videos falsely presented as GTA 6 leaks have circulated across social media. The clips below are not embedded or linked, but they can be found on X and Reddit.

    Every GTA 6 leak released by Cyberleek

    Cyberleek’s posts show different aspects of GTA 6, including portions of the game’s map and several cutscenes. The latest release also contains minor story spoilers.

    • Map sneak peek 1: A small, cropped section of the in-game map showing a location called Dalton Island.
    • Map sneak peek 2: Another cropped map section showing Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key and Catalan Key.
    • Basketball video: Jason Duval throws a basketball into a hoop during a mini-game.
    • Full map: An alleged view of the entire in-game map.
    • Random video 1: Jason drives around briefly before beating up a truck driver.
    • Taser video: Jason drives at night, steals a security guard’s taser and uses it on him. He then repeatedly kicks the guard while he is on the ground.
    • Junkies video: The clip appears to show a healing drug called Zombix. A tooltip says Zombix’s effects weaken over time if the player uses it too frequently.
    • Plane video: Jason flies a plane over Vice City, with much of the game world visible below. At the end, the player shoots the word “LEEK” into a wall, suggesting the leaker had access to a playable build.
    • Hypercar part 1: Jason drives a high-end sports car around Vice City.
    • Hypercar part 2: Jason continues driving the sports car before carrying out an armed robbery.
    • Strip club: Jason walks around a strip club, followed by a short clip from an in-game cutscene.
    • Gas station: Jason causes trouble at a gas station, steals a truck loaded with gasoline and crashes, resulting in his death. The clip also shows more of the earlier cutscene.
    • Plane video 2: Jason flies a plane over Vice City at night.
    • Nudist colony: Jason explores a nudist hangout, where the non-player characters are nude, and attacks NPCs.
    • Nightclub: Jason walks around the interior of a nightclub in a largely uneventful clip.
    • Beach cycling: Jason rides a bicycle along a beach populated by NPCs.
    • Video game store: Jason walks through a video game store lined with shelves of fake game boxes.
    • How does Cyberleek drive?: Jason steals a hot rod and evades police. The clip ends with the first appearance of Lucia Caminos, GTA 6’s second playable character. Caminos talks about someone who “drives like a bitch.”
    • Lucia prologue: A four-and-a-half-minute video introducing Caminos, including minor story spoilers.

    What could Cyberleek release next?

    Cyberleek previously ran polls on its website that allowed users to pay in cryptocurrency to vote on the content leaked next. In recent days, the group had teased footage featuring Lucia Caminos. On Wednesday, it released a short cutscene featuring Caminos, followed by an extended look at her prologue.

    That appears to have been Cyberleek’s final release. The group’s crypto meme coin appears to have been fully cashed out for approximately $250,000, and its value has fallen to a tiny fraction of its previous level. Cyberleek also went silent before Thursday’s official Netflix presentation, with no new leaks appearing since Wednesday.

    GTA 6 gameplay is now officially available

    The official Netflix presentation is now available on YouTube in its full 26-minute form. It includes details Cyberleek never showed, including gameplay footage of Lucia and other scenes. Anyone looking for a reliable view of how GTA 6 plays is likely better served by the official video than by the leaked clips.

  • GTA 6 Cyberleak Update: Everything Leaked Thursday Ahead of Netflix Reveal

    GTA 6 Cyberleak Update: Everything Leaked Thursday Ahead of Netflix Reveal

    Rockstar Games is hours away from the official gameplay debut of Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Thursday. Ahead of the event, here is a roundup of the unofficial GTA VI gameplay footage that surfaced during the week.

    An individual or group using the name Cyberleek has steadily leaked GTA VI clips over the past several days. Rockstar publicly acknowledged the leak on Wednesday and confirmed that the footage was authentic—an unusual move for the company.

    Latest GTA VI leaks

    Cyberleek does not appear to have released any new footage on Thursday morning. Although the leaks may not be over, the latest available clips were published by the end of Wednesday and include:

    • Strip club: A short clip shows protagonist Jason walking through a strip club.
    • Beach cycling: Jason rides a bicycle along a beach filled with a large number of non-player characters.
    • Video game store: Jason explores a video game shop, an ironic setting given that GTA VI will not be released on disc.
    • Police chase: Jason steals a high-end car and is pursued by police before a brief cutscene introduces the other protagonist, Lucia.
    • Lucia’s prologue: Nearly five minutes of story cutscenes, seemingly from the beginning of the game, show Lucia leaving prison.

    The Lucia prologue appears to be the final GTA VI leak for now. It remains unclear whether Cyberleek will continue releasing footage after Rockstar’s major Netflix trailer arrives at 3 p.m. ET.

    Every GTA 6 Leak From Cyberleek So Far

    With just one day to go before Grand Theft Auto VI makes its major official debut of sorts on Netflix, the leaker known as Cyberleek continues to release new footage. Shortly after Rockstar Games issued a statement about the GTA 6 leaks on Wednesday, Cyberleek shared story spoilers for the first time by uploading an extended clip of a prologue introducing Lucia Caminos.

    Over the past week, someone—or possibly a group of people—using the name Cyberleek has shared a steady stream of short GTA 6 gameplay clips. On Aug. 20, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, filed subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord in an effort to identify the leaker. The company soon followed with 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 offer the first reported glimpses of gameplay from the highly anticipated title. At the same time, numerous AI-generated videos presented as “leaks” are circulating widely on social media. Here is a list of everything Cyberleek has released so far. We are not embedding or linking to the clips, but they can be found on X or Reddit.

    All GTA 6 leaks shared by Cyberleek

    At the time of publication, Cyberleek had posted 16 gameplay clips and three map screenshots showing different aspects of GTA 6, including glimpses of cutscenes. The leaker initially avoided major plot spoilers, but the latest release includes story details. Proceed carefully if you want to avoid spoilers.

    • Map sneak peek 1: A small, cropped section of the in-game world map showing a location called Dalton Island.
    • Map sneak peek 2: Another cropped map section featuring Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.
    • Basketball video: Protagonist Jason Duval throws a basketball into a hoop during a mini-game.
    • Full map: An alleged view of the complete in-game map.
    • Random video 1: Jason drives around briefly before beating up a truck driver.
    • Taser video: Jason drives at night, steals a security guard’s taser, and uses it on him. He then repeatedly kicks the guard while he is on the ground.
    • Junkies video: The clip appears to show a healing drug called Zombix. A tooltip says Zombix’s effects weaken over time if the player uses it too frequently.
    • Plane video: Jason flies a plane over Vice City, with much of the game world visible below. At the end, the player shoots the word “LEEK” into a wall with bullets, suggesting that the leaker has access to a playable build of the game.
    • Hypercar part 1: Jason drives a high-end sports car around Vice City.
    • Hypercar part 2: Jason continues driving the sports car before carrying out an armed robbery.
    • Strip club: Jason walks around a strip club, followed by a short clip from an in-game cutscene.
    • Gas station: Jason causes trouble at a gas station, steals a truck carrying gasoline, and crashes and dies. The clip also shows more of the preceding cutscene.

    • Nightclub: Jason walks around the interior of a nightclub in a largely uneventful clip.
    • Beach cycling: Jason rides a bicycle along a beach crowded with NPCs.
    • Video game store: Jason walks around a video game store lined with shelves of fictional game boxes.
    • How does Cyberleek drive?: Jason steals a hot rod 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 prologue introduces Caminos and includes minor story spoilers.

    Are the Cyberleek GTA 6 videos real?

    There is no independent authentication for any of the Cyberleek videos, and convincing AI-generated footage is now easy to produce. However, the clips appear fairly credible to people familiar with the GTA series. The games have a distinctive style of movement, and that movement appears to be recreated remarkably well in the videos. Character movement and NPC interactions both look consistent with a modern Rockstar Games title.

    Rockstar Games also acknowledged the leak in a statement, calling it “heartbreaking.” The statement appears to all but confirm that the leaked gameplay clips are genuine.

    What could Cyberleek release next?

    Cyberleek has been running polls on its website that allow people to use cryptocurrency to vote on which material should be leaked next. In recent days, the leaker teased footage featuring Lucia Caminos. On Wednesday, Cyberleek followed through by releasing a short cutscene with Caminos and then an extended look at the character’s prologue.

    Cyberleek had no active polls online at the time of writing. The leaker’s latest comments suggest that more videos featuring Caminos could be released soon.

    Alternatively, fans can wait for official gameplay footage, which is scheduled to debut on Netflix on Aug. 27.

    Mashable contacted Rockstar and Take-Two repeatedly with questions about the leaks and said it would update the story if it received a response.

  • GTA VI Cyberleek Update: Everything Leaked on Wednesday and Earlier This Week

    GTA VI Cyberleek Update: Everything Leaked on Wednesday and Earlier This Week

    Leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay clips continue to spread online, with several new videos appearing as Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive intensify efforts to identify and stop the leaker known as Cyberleek.

    After multiple clips surfaced over the weekend and into Monday, additional footage began circulating at an even faster pace. On Wednesday morning, Rockstar addressed the leaks publicly for the first time, describing the situation as “heartbreaking” for its team.

    Around the same time, Cyberleek posted another gameplay clip, followed by a four-and-a-half-minute video showing a prologue featuring Lucia Caminos, the game’s second playable character. In recent days, the leaker had threatened to release footage featuring Caminos and teased further GTA 6 leaks involving her.

    What the latest GTA 6 leaks show

    The latest Cyberleek videos reportedly include:

    • A clip of the player exploring a nightclub with scantily clad women
    • A clip of protagonist Jason riding a bicycle along a beach crowded with civilian non-player characters
    • A clip of Jason browsing a fictional video game retailer filled with fake game boxes
    • A clip of Jason stealing a hot rod and being pursued by police, along with a short cutscene featuring Lucia
    • Four and a half minutes of Lucia’s prologue, including scenes of her in prison and minor story spoilers

    That brings the total number of leaked GTA 6 clips to 16 at the time of publication. Their authenticity has not been fully verified, but Rockstar’s statement and Take-Two’s legal efforts to identify Cyberleek strongly support the footage’s legitimacy.

    In subpoenas seeking information about Cyberleek, Take-Two described the videos as “stolen content” and “leaked gameplay videos.” The company has reportedly sought information from platforms including X and Google as part of its investigation.

    Rockstar is scheduled to show an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay on Netflix on Thursday.

    Update: Aug. 26, 2026, 3:30 p.m. EDT. This story was originally published on Sept. 25 at 11 a.m. ET and was updated with information about the latest Cyberleek videos and a statement from Rockstar Games.

  • Rockstar Addresses Heartbreaking GTA VI Leaks

    Rockstar Addresses Heartbreaking GTA VI Leaks

    After a week of Grand Theft Auto VI leaks, Rockstar Games has addressed the Cyberleek situation in a rare public statement, calling the leaks “heartbreaking.”

    In a post on its X account, Rockstar confirmed that the leaked videos do show GTA VI gameplay. The company’s parent firm, Take-Two Interactive Software, had previously acknowledged the footage in subpoenas seeking to unmask the culprits.

    Rockstar also apologized for the long wait to release Grand Theft Auto VI and share more official details about the game.

    “It would be an understatement to say that having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time,” the statement said. “We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know.”

    Cyberleek releases another GTA VI gameplay clip

    Despite Rockstar’s statement, the leaker known only as Cyberleek appeared unfazed, releasing a fifteenth Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay clip online shortly after the company issued its statement on Wednesday morning.

    More GTA 6 Cyberleek updates have detailed everything leaked so far and what could be next.

    Rockstar said it knows the official gameplay reveal must “exceed your expectations.” The reveal remains scheduled for Thursday on Netflix and is expected to show more of GTA VI’s gameplay, plot and characters than the Cyberleek videos, which have primarily shown protagonist Jason beating up non-player characters and stealing cars.

    With Grand Theft Auto VI scheduled to launch on Nov. 19, Rockstar will hope the leaks ultimately have little effect on the game’s release.

  • GTA 6 Cyber Leak Update: All Leaks Released Monday and Over the Weekend

    GTA 6 Cyber Leak Update: All Leaks Released Monday and Over the Weekend

    With less than a week remaining before Rockstar Games is expected to show official Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay on Netflix, more unofficial GTA 6 footage has reportedly leaked online.

    Cyberleek, the anonymous leaker who has shared a steady stream of GTA VI gameplay clips over the past week, posted several additional videos over the weekend and into Monday morning. Mashable is not linking to the leaked footage or map images, although the material can reportedly be found across various social networks.

    What the latest GTA 6 leaks reportedly show

    Four clips have reportedly surfaced since last Friday:

    • More supercar footage: The protagonist, Jason, drives a high-end sports car before taking part in an armed robbery.
    • Strip club: The protagonist walks around an in-game strip club, followed by a brief section of a cutscene.
    • Gas station: The protagonist causes chaos at a gas station and steals a truck. The truck bed is filled with gasoline before the vehicle crashes and explodes. Another clip from the same cutscene is also shown.
    • Nudist colony: The protagonist explores what appears to be a nudist gathering spot and attacks non-player characters.

    The nudist colony video appeared to have won the latest poll on Cyberleek’s website. Users can vote in the poll by spending cryptocurrency.

    It remains unclear how much of Grand Theft Auto VI Cyberleek has accessed or how the material was obtained. Although the videos have not been authenticated, subpoenas recently filed by Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, specifically refer to stolen material, apparently lending support to the legitimacy of the leaks.

    Most likely, the leaker has access to an older build of the game that may not match the version Rockstar Games plans to show later this week.

  • Former Rockstar Director Calls GTA 6 Leaks a “Nothing Burger”

    Former Rockstar Director Calls GTA 6 Leaks a “Nothing Burger”

    Grand Theft Auto VI leaks have fueled intense online speculation ahead of an extended look at the game coming to Netflix this week. However, former Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij has urged fans not to overreact.

    An individual or group known as CyberLeek leaked alleged GTA 6 gameplay clips, maps and videos last week. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., the parent company of Rockstar Games, later subpoenaed Microsoft, Discord and GitHub over “stolen content,” confirming that at least some of the leaked material is legitimate.

    Vermeij, who previously served as technical director at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, described the leaks on X as a “nothing burger.”

    “Calm down everybody,”

    he wrote.

    “The leaks are a nothing burger.”

    Vermeij said Rockstar’s marketing strategy is to keep its games under wraps for longer than other publishers, adding that the incident appears to involve only some footage escaping.

    “90 [percent] of future players don’t spend their time on the internet looking for video snippets. They don’t have the time and don’t want spoilers,”

    he continued.

    “I imagine the teams are a little annoyed about it but not more than that.”

    Former Rockstar director compares GTA 6 leaks with Hot Coffee controversy

    Vermeij also referred to the Hot Coffee controversy, which involved a hidden sex-scene minigame in 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Rockstar and Take-Two settled a lawsuit related to the controversy.

    “I was there during Hot Coffee,”

    Vermeij wrote, describing the incident as a “nightmare” for Rockstar’s New York office. He said it had less of an impact on Rockstar North and argued that the current GTA 6 leaks are far less significant.

    “It looks like gta6 will be phenomenal and sell for the next 15 years or so. The leaks are just a tiny blip,”

    he concluded.

  • GTA 6 Leaks: CyberLeek Update Details Everything Revealed So Far, What Comes Next

    GTA 6 Leaks: CyberLeek Update Details Everything Revealed So Far, What Comes Next

    Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., the parent company of Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games, has escalated its legal response to a recent wave of gameplay leaks. Updated filings confirm the company served subpoenas on Microsoft and Discord on Friday, Aug. 21, targeting the individual or group operating under the name Cyberleek.

    Take-Two Targets Microsoft and Discord in Leak Investigation

    The legal documents specifically cite “stolen content”, a phrasing that strongly suggests the publisher views the circulated footage as authentic proprietary material. Take-Two is seeking two primary forms of relief: the removal of leaked assets that violate its copyrights and the disclosure of identifying information that could unmask the leakers.

    The timing is notable. The legal action arrives less than a week before the highly anticipated official debut of Grand Theft Auto VI footage, which is expected to premiere via Netflix. Despite the looming official reveal, a significant volume of alleged gameplay clips has already surfaced across social platforms, primarily X and Reddit.

    Alleged GTA VI Leaks: A Breakdown of Surfaced Clips

    As of publication, nine distinct clips and screenshots have been attributed to Cyberleek. While the authenticity of these assets remains unverified, they purportedly showcase various mechanics and locations within the game. The following list summarizes the content described in each leak:

    • Map Sneak Peek 1: A cropped section of the in-game world map revealing a location labeled Dalton Island.
    • Map Sneak Peek 2: Another map fragment showing Tequesta Retreat, Gloriana Key, and Catalan Key.
    • Basketball Video: Protagonist Jason Duval repeatedly shooting a basketball into a hoop.
    • Full Map: An alleged screenshot displaying the entirety of the game world.
    • Random Video 1: Jason driving a vehicle before assaulting a truck driver.
    • Taser Video: Jason steals a security guard’s taser, uses it on him, and proceeds to kick the guard while he is down.
    • Junkies Video: Footage highlighting a healing item called Zombix. Accompanying UI text indicates the drug’s efficacy diminishes with repeated use.
    • Plane Video: Jason piloting an aircraft over Vice City. The clip concludes with the player shooting the word “LEEK” into a wall using bullet impacts, implying the leaker possesses a playable build.
    • Hypercar Part 1: High-speed driving in a luxury sports car through Vice City streets.

    Assessing Credibility in the Age of AI Generation

    It is critical to reiterate that fabrication is entirely possible. Advances in AI video generation have lowered the barrier for creating convincing fakes. However, experienced observers note that the character movement, NPC interactions, and physics displayed in the clips align closely with the signature “weight” and animation blending characteristic of modern Rockstar titles.

    Cyberleek Monetizes Leaks via Cryptocurrency Polls

    Adding a layer of spectacle to the breach, Cyberleek is reportedly operating a website where visitors can pay in cryptocurrency to vote on which assets should be released next. This gamified distribution model underscores the evolving nature of data theft in the gaming industry, turning intellectual property infringement into a crowdsourced spectacle mere days before the official marketing campaign begins.
