Overview
- Multiple short gameplay clips and an image claimed to be GTA 6’s full Leonida map were posted online by an account called CyberLeek, with the first widely shared material appearing on Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday.
- The clips show in‑game moments such as protagonist Jason playing a basketball minigame, driving and fighting NPCs, and HUD elements including stamina and a multi‑tier money display.
- Rockstar and parent Take‑Two have not issued a public statement but are reportedly issuing copyright takedown notices that have removed many original uploads while copies continue to circulate.
- CyberLeek published a manifesto demanding changes to digital‑only distribution and exclusive paid single‑player content, and the posts included a QR link to a cryptocurrency, prompting warnings from consumer groups about potential scams.
- Journalists and analysts caution the footage may be from older or unfinished builds and that AI‑generated fakes are circulating, but the leaks still risk complicating Rockstar and Netflix’s planned Aug. 27 extended look and the game’s Nov. 19 release.
