GTA 6 leaker claims to have “full access” to the game, as Rockstar struggles to contain even more gameplay videos

A hacker group known as CyberLeek began posting alleged gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6 on August 18, 2026, exposing a significant security breach at Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive. Multiple videos have surfaced showing gameplay elements including driving, shooting mechanics, radio stations, and extensive aerial views of Vice City, the game’s setting.

The leak has escalated beyond pre-recorded footage. Recent videos appear to demonstrate that CyberLeek has access to a playable build of the game—evidenced by a clip where the leaker intentionally shoots bullet holes into a wall to spell “LEEK,” a pun on their alias. The group has threatened to release new videos daily and attempted to promote cryptocurrency schemes using the leaked material.

Rockstar and Take-Two have responded with aggressive DMCA takedowns to remove videos from social media platforms, though the content continues to spread. The breach has had notable financial consequences: Take-Two’s stock price declined from approximately $245 to $232-236, representing a loss of roughly $2 billion in market value.

The timing disrupts Rockstar’s marketing strategy, with an official gameplay reveal scheduled for Netflix on August 27, three months before the game’s November 19 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Malware-laden files impersonating leaked copies have appeared on piracy sites, exploiting the publicity. The leaked footage is believed to originate from an earlier game build, though the exact breach date and source remain unclear.
