Cyberleek Posts Nearly 25 Minutes of Alleged GTA VI Footage

An anonymous account known as Cyberleek has posted a nearly 25-minute video of alleged Grand Theft Auto VI footage, giving fans a new look at scenes involving protagonists Jason and Lucia. The video also shows nudity and what appears to be a developer-style menu, but Rockstar has not confirmed that any of those elements will feature in the released game.

The footage appeared Thursday, according to Mashable, in Cyberleek’s first update since late August. Its release has renewed attention on unauthorized material from the game, while leaving a key question unresolved: whether the displayed scenes reflect features available to ordinary players or tools used during development.

Some footage is explicit. Mashable reported that Jason appears fully nude in multiple portions, while Lucia is seen mostly nude in a brief clip near the end. The same report said characters in the game do not react to Jason’s nudity, and that the player spawns a tank out of thin air. Those details raise the possibility that the video came from a development build or used developer tools; the footage alone does not establish what will be included in the final release.

What the Cyberleek GTA leaks show

Beyond the explicit scenes, the video includes cutscenes introducing characters connected to races in the countryside and on city streets. It also shows vehicle races, car customization and gameplay from a first-person perspective, both while driving and walking.

The customization footage includes apparent options to upgrade a car’s engine, transmission and other parts. Mashable described the racing scenes as not especially spoiler-heavy, while cautioning viewers who want to avoid seeing material before release.

The first-person footage may attract particular interest because Mashable reported that the feature has not yet been shown in GTA 6. But a clip in an alleged leak is not confirmation that the option will appear in the retail game. The same caution applies to the nudity and the tank-spawning menu.

That distinction matters for players deciding whether to seek out the video. The clips may reveal story scenes and gameplay ahead of launch, but they do not provide an authoritative guide to the finished game. Mashable said the leaked build’s apparent extra capabilities, including the tank appearing without a normal in-game setup, point toward possible developer access rather than standard play.

Yahoo’s report, citing reporting by IGN and Metro, likewise said Rockstar had not confirmed the video’s contents as retail features. It also reported that the footage’s source and method of distribution had not been established, and that Cyberleek’s identity remained publicly unknown.

Legal action and release date

Yahoo reported that Take-Two Interactive had filed DMCA subpoenas seeking account, connection and device records connected to Cyberleek-related accounts across Microsoft, Discord and X. The filings targeted accounts with “CyberLeak” in their names, according to GamesIndustry.biz reporting cited by Yahoo. No public identification or announced outcome from those proceedings was reported in the source.

The outlet also said Rockstar had previously described the leak situation as “heartbreaking” for its development team and “unfortunate” for fans, language attributed to the company’s official statement and reported by IGN. Rockstar reaffirmed the game’s release date, while Mashable said GTA 6 is due on Nov. 19 and is available for preorder for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

Yahoo also cited third-party blockchain analysis by IGN that tracked cryptocurrency activity associated with the campaign, including wallets moving cryptocurrency worth approximately $270,000. The report stressed that the figure came from on-chain observers, not an official financial investigation by Rockstar or Take-Two. Cyberleek reportedly described the campaign as a protest against digital-only releases and the decline of physical media, but Yahoo said that motive remained disputed.

For players, the immediate consequence is the risk of encountering explicit clips or story material before the game’s release. For the publisher, the renewed leak and ongoing subpoenas keep attention on how unreleased footage circulates and whether the video came from tools unavailable to regular players. Rockstar has not verified the footage’s contents as features of the final game.
