The internet is ablaze with speculation and debate after another leak from Cyberleek surfaced, offering a glimpse into what appears to be the prologue of Grand Theft Auto 6. While we won’t spoil any specific plot points here at Gamer24h, one particular scene has ignited a firestorm of discussion: a moment eerily similar to one showcased in the game’s original trailer from nearly three years ago.
The Downgrade Controversy

In the original trailer, Lucia, one of the game’s protagonists, is seen looking out a prison window, bathed in a dramatic orange sunlight that creates a cinematic and moody atmosphere. However, the newly leaked footage of this same scene features noticeably less vibrant lighting, lacking the intense glow that characterized the earlier trailer. This difference has led many online to question whether Rockstar Games may have “downgraded” the game’s visuals before its highly anticipated launch in November.
The reaction on social media, particularly on platforms like Twitter (where engagement is often rewarded), has been swift and decisive. Numerous users are sharing comparisons between the trailer and the leak, expressing disappointment and concern about a potential drop in visual fidelity. One post by (Not) Centro Leaks on Twitter has already garnered over 5 million views, while another from Lo-Ping has racked up over 2.1 million views and 1,300 shares. The prevailing sentiment seems to be one of disillusionment, with many questioning why the game might look significantly different than what was initially presented.
However, it’s crucial to approach these claims with a healthy dose of skepticism. We simply don’t have enough information to definitively say whether or not there has been a downgrade. The leaked footage could be from an older build of the game, lacking some of the final lighting effects and optimizations that will be present in the release version. Furthermore, the way the footage was recorded and uploaded could also affect its visual quality. Some users have even pointed out that previous Cyberleek clips appeared to suffer from improper HDR encoding.
It’s also possible that Rockstar Games made a conscious decision to alter the lighting in this particular scene, perhaps feeling that the overly bright sun didn’t fit the tone they were aiming for. Without more context and official confirmation, it’s impossible to say for sure what’s going on.
For now, the best course of action is to remain calm and avoid spreading misinformation. Let’s wait for more information from Rockstar Games before jumping to conclusions about a potential downgrade. Perhaps we’ll get a clearer picture when Netflix airs its extended look event for Grand Theft Auto 6. Until then, let’s keep an open mind and remember that leaks can often be misleading.
