Another GTA 6 gameplay leak has appeared online, and the latest footage suggests the people behind it may have access to a playable build months before the game’s planned November release.
The two new clips surfaced on August 20, one day after several alleged gameplay videos were posted by Cyberleeks. The self-described hacking group says it is leaking the material to punish Rockstar Games for releasing Grand Theft Auto VI as a digital-only title. Apparently, the response to a missing disc is an international legal problem.
Rockstar has not formally confirmed that the footage is authentic. However, its efforts to remove the clips have added credibility to the leaks, and Cyberleeks had already threatened to publish more material over the following days.
What do the latest GTA 6 clips show?
The first new clip was quickly removed. People who viewed it beforehand said it showed knife combat resembling the system used in Red Dead Redemption 2. It also reportedly featured protagonist Jason killing a police officer and stealing a patrol car.
The second clip is shorter but potentially more significant. Most of it reportedly shows an aircraft flying over a city. Near the end, the footage switches to Jason firing at a wall, with the bullet holes spelling out “leek.” Subtlety was evidently not part of the build.
No footage or screenshots are being reproduced here.
The deliberate message matters because it appears to have been created inside the game rather than added as a simple video overlay. If genuine, that would indicate Cyberleeks can interact with a working version of GTA 6, rather than merely possessing a collection of previously recorded clips.
Does Cyberleeks have a playable GTA 6 build?
The footage does not prove that the group holds a complete retail copy of the game. GTA 6 is still in development, so any accessible version would more likely be an internal, testing or otherwise unfinished build.
There is also the possibility that the material was fabricated using generative AI or other editing tools. The latest clip does not obviously appear artificial, but heavily compressed footage posted by an anonymous group is not exactly ideal evidence for forensic analysis.
If Cyberleeks does have a functioning build, the larger question is how it obtained one. No explanation has been provided, and it remains unclear whether the files came from Rockstar, an outside partner, a compromised system or another source.
A pre-release build of a game this closely guarded reaching outsiders would trigger a major internal investigation. Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive would need to determine what escaped, who had access and whether further unreleased material remains at risk.
Why is cryptocurrency attached to the leaks?
As with the earlier footage, the latest clip reportedly promotes a cryptocurrency. Cyberleeks is also alleged to have briefly hosted a poll asking users what GTA 6 content should appear next, with votes tied to financial donations.
One poll option requested daytime footage of an aircraft. That is apparently what the newest video delivered, suggesting the group may have more clips ready and is selecting releases according to paid votes.
The combination of alleged unauthorised access, copyrighted footage and requests for money substantially raises the stakes. If Rockstar or Take-Two identifies the people involved, they could face serious legal consequences, particularly if investigators establish that the material was stolen or obtained through compromised systems.
Cyberleeks had promised additional posts over several days, so more footage could emerge quickly. Rockstar, meanwhile, is likely to continue filing removal requests, producing the familiar internet exercise in which forbidden material disappears from one account and promptly appears on several others.
When will Rockstar reveal GTA 6 officially?
The leaks arrive shortly before Rockstar is expected to share official information through a Netflix-exclusive preview on August 27.
The contents have not been confirmed. Rumours suggest the presentation could run for about an hour across three episodes, potentially offering a substantial look at the game before its November launch.
That preview should provide controlled, finished material approved by Rockstar, which is generally how publishers prefer to introduce their largest releases. Until then, the company must contend with Cyberleeks teasing an apparent playable build while the internet studies every frame before it is removed.
