GTA 6 Leaks Return
GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek has returned to publish a 24-minute gameplay video that has left fans scrambling to issue spoiler warnings across the internet.
Cyberleek uploaded 24 minutes of unauthorized gameplay footage titled “GTA 6: An Extended Leek.” It reportedly contains a number of cutscenes revealing story beats, playable characters Jason and Lucia, and a first-person camera for driving.
Investigation and Security
Cyberleek appeared to go dark after a spate of high-profile GTA 6 leaks in August, which sparked an investigation from Rockstar parent company Take-Two that saw subpoenas issued to the likes of Discord. Today's development suggests Cyberleek remains at large, and it remains unclear how this gameplay footage escaped the confines of Rockstar's security.
At one point in the leaked video, a developer menu is used to spawn a tank, suggesting that features like nudity and first-person gameplay may have been enabled via developer tools for the purpose of the video rather than representing the final launch version.
Rockstar's Response
In August, Rockstar addressed the GTA 6 leaks, describing the situation as heartbreaking for its development team and unfortunate for fans. The developer acknowledged that the intended experience might be impacted by spoilers, but reiterated GTA 6's confirmed launch date of November 19.
Cryptocurrency and Motives
Cyberleek previously claimed to be leaking material to highlight the death of physical media while charging fans to vote on further leaks using cryptocurrency in a money-making exercise.
This new gameplay video ends with yet another message suggesting Cyberleek wants funding for a mystery project.
The message states that Cyberleek requires expensive hardware and long-term setup for an unrelated gaming project, promising that all collected funds will go toward development.
Cyberleek was heavily criticized for using GTA 6 leaks to push a meme coin, with cryptocurrency transaction analysis indicating earnings of around $270,000.
Whether those responsible are ever caught may rest on how successfully Take-Two's legal team and relevant authorities can force social networks and crypto exchanges to divulge personal details.
