Gamers have waited more than a decade for Grand Theft Auto VI, and now an unidentified person or group called CyberLeek is posting what appears to be unfinished footage from the highly anticipated game.
The material has spread across X and other online platforms just three months before release and a week before an extended look is due to premiere on Netflix. CyberLeek has posted clips showing driving, fighting, basketball, flying and other gameplay, alongside images claimed to show the full map of Leonida.
One recent video has attracted particular attention because Jason appears to shoot the word 'LEEK' onto a wall, suggesting whoever recorded it may have been controlling the game. The footage has not been authenticated by Rockstar, while Take-Two has issued copyright claims against copies.
Who Is CyberLeek?
CyberLeek is the name being used by an unidentified person or group releasing alleged GTA 6 development material. It is not known who is behind the operation, where they are located, how the footage was obtained or whether one person or several people are involved.
The group presents itself as a digital vigilante focused on consumer rights. Its website promotes 'community voting' and 'decentralized leeks', alongside a pixelated leek wearing tactical gear.
CyberLeek has also published the 'CYBERLEEK Edict', which sets out three main demands. It opposes digital preorders, paid add-ons that unlock single-player content already contained in game files, and the permanent loss of single-player games when publishers shut down their servers.
It says publishers that break those rules could become future targets and that the leaks will continue until its demands are met.
The first videos appeared on 18 August and reportedly showed Jason Duval driving, fighting, stealing a vehicle, playing basketball and attracting police attention. Other clips showed tasers and a short cutscene, while images claimed to show the complete map of Leonida have also circulated.
If authentic, the footage appears to come from an unfinished development build. NateTheHate described it as more than a year old, while Insider Gaming said it may date from 2024 or earlier. The material could therefore differ from the final game, and repeated reposting has also reduced its quality.
The latest plane video has added another element. Jason flies over the game world before the player shoots 'LEEK' into a wall. That could indicate access to a playable build rather than simply a collection of pre-recorded videos.
However, the footage could also be misinterpreted or AI-generated. Rockstar and Take-Two have not publicly authenticated it, and Mashable said it received no additional information after contacting both companies.
Why Is CyberLeek Targeting Rockstar?
CyberLeek's main complaint is digital preorders. Its manifesto argues that preorders were originally necessary because physical discs could sell out, but that reasoning no longer applies when customers are buying digital downloads.
'Preorders were not created for gamers,' the manifesto says. 'They were created because physical discs had manufacturing limits.'
GTA 6 is available for digital preorder, while physical retail boxes contain a download code rather than the game itself. CyberLeek objects to publishers receiving money before release or independent reviews, arguing that publishers should press discs if they want revenue before launch.
Its campaign also opposes charging players to unlock single-player material already contained in game files and wants games to remain playable offline after servers close. It cites The Crew, which became inaccessible in 2024. Rockstar has not indicated that this will be an issue for GTA 6.
The group's concerns overlap with the Stop Killing Games campaign, which also argues for games remaining playable after official support ends. However, Stop Killing Games has rejected CyberLeek's methods, saying, 'Using illegal means to make a point is unacceptable to us.' It has also urged people not to send CyberLeek money through its memecoin.
CyberLeek's campaign therefore combines alleged GTA 6 leaks with a wider argument about how publishers sell, preserve and monetise games. Whether the leaked material is genuine remains unconfirmed.
