Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to have suffered yet another significant leak, with what looks like legitimate gameplay videos and an image of the full map surfacing online. Two videos reportedly show protagonist Jason engaging in activities such as playing basketball outside his home and driving a car while attacking an NPC.
An image claiming to depict the complete map has also emerged. While the origins and age of these assets remain unclear, they are linked to a group called 'CyberLeek,' which has issued demands to Rockstar Games and other publishers regarding the digital future of gaming.
The manifesto from CyberLeek criticizes the absence of physical discs for games like GTA 6 and threatens other publishers with similar leaks if they do not comply with their demands. The authenticity of the gameplay and map image has not been confirmed, but Rockstar and Take-Two are reportedly working to remove the leaked content from social media.
This leak comes just days before the scheduled release of 'Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look,' a Netflix exclusive set to debut on August 27. IGN has reached out to both Rockstar and Take-Two for comment regarding the leaks.
Background
GTA 6 has been a target of numerous leaks over the years. In 2022, over 90 videos and images from an early version of the game were leaked in a major security breach. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed frustration over the leaks, stating, 'We take leaks very seriously indeed and they disappoint all of us.'
In December 2023, the first trailer for GTA 6 leaked on social media less than 24 hours before its official premiere, prompting Rockstar to release it early on YouTube. The company has faced challenges regarding security, including a third-party data breach earlier this year, although they claimed it had no impact on their organization or players.
