GTA 6 Gameplay Leaks Ahead Of Netflix Reveal

Recently, a wave of videos purporting to reveal gameplay from the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has surfaced online, rapidly proliferating across the internet. Although Kotaku cannot definitively verify their authenticity, the footage appears genuine and may be linked to a broader breach associated with the title’s absence of physical editions at launch.

On August 18, the site Cyberleek began publishing what looks like stolen gameplay clips from GTA 6, accompanied by images purporting to depict the game’s complete map.

The material is already being taken down. Clicking a leaked map image on Cyberleek led to an error page, and several videos on Twitter have been deleted following copyright‑owner takedown notices. These actions strongly suggest that Take‑Two Interactive is actively pursuing the removal of the leaks, further corroborating their authenticity.

Across Twitter and other online platforms, users are circulating the alleged GTA 6 footage. One clip depicts a character—presumably Jason—roaming his residence and shooting hoops, while another shows a high‑speed collision on a sunny highway, followed by a street‑style brawl reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption II’s combat mechanics.

In one of the leaked videos, the track “Impact” by SG Lewis, Robyn, and Channel Tres blares from the in‑game radio just before the driver steps out, and YouTube comments are already buzzing with speculation about the source of the leak.

While some of the footage circulating today appears authentic, a significant portion of the online chatter is actually AI‑generated, with users claiming these fabricated clips are part of the leak. I’ve already encountered older, verified fake clips, as well as remnants from the 2022 data breach that exposed an early Rockstar build. The new footage, if genuine, seems to come from a noticeably more advanced version of the game. Yet the exact recording date remains unknown, suggesting it may stem from an unfinished GTA 6 build that was never intended for public view.

On the Cyberleek platform, the alleged leaker has released an extensive manifesto, framing the leaked gameplay as retribution against publishers who offer only digital pre‑orders and neglect offline modes, among other grievances.

Kotaku has reached out to Rockstar Games to seek clarification regarding the reported gameplay and map images.
