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.
