Rockstar and Take-Two have been dealing with a series of leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay videos and images posted by an anonymous group calling itself CyberLeek since mid-August 2026. The first video, posted August 18, showed protagonist Jason Duval playing basketball near a coastal house and demonstrated a focus mechanic tied to making baskets; Rockstar later issued DMCA takedown notices that appeared to confirm authenticity. Subsequent clips on August 18 and 19 depicted combat scenarios, a taser weapon, vehicle health indicators, and a six-star wanted level, which has not appeared in previous GTA titles. Additional footage on August 20 showed an in-game plane flight, radio stations, and a moment where the character spelled "Leek" with gunfire. On August 22, a hypercar video displayed the Truffade Thrax performing burnouts, followed by a strip club teaser that referenced a market-cap target for the $CYBERLEEK token; a later video on August 22 featured a strip club with neon lighting and a bathroom cutscene. Further leaks on August 23 included a wanted-level sequence ending with an in-game "Wasted" screen after a vehicle explosion and a mention of a character named Lucia. A separate file circulating as a 113 GB GTA VI download was described by testers as largely empty with a small virus, posing a security risk. On August 24, a clip showed a nudist colony in the game world, with a watermark referencing a possible Lucia-led prologue and a call to dress as leeks in front of Rockstar offices. Throughout the period, CyberLeek issued threats to release story spoilers unless publishers change digital distribution practices, and Take-Two filed subpoenas in New York on August 20 requesting Discord and Microsoft provide user data to identify the leaker; Discord had not been served as of August 24. The leaks remain unverified, and Rockstar has not confirmed the authenticity of the material; further updates are expected as the situation develops.
