Rockstar Games is deep in DMCA mode this week. A group calling itself CyberLeek has posted gameplay footage from what appears to be a near-final build of Grand Theft Auto VI<\/strong> \u2014 and the publisher’s aggressive takedown notices have done more to confirm the clips’ authenticity than any official statement could. If you would rather wait for the clean version, the GTA VI: An Extended Look on Netflix<\/a> drops this Wednesday, 27 August.<\/p>\n

What the GTA 6 Gameplay Leak Actually Shows<\/h2>\n

Two minute-long video clips and a full screenshot of the Leonida map were posted online by CyberLeek starting on 18 August 2026. Reposts have been hit with DMCA takedowns almost the moment they appear \u2014 a whack-a-mole that is still going as of today.<\/p>\n

What made it into the wild before the takedowns: one clip shows protagonist Jason at his waterside safehouse \u2014 shooting basketball, moving around the property. A second shows a driving sequence that escalates into a brawl with a delivery truck driver. The footage is brief but reveals more about GTA 6’s systems than anything officially released to date:<\/p>\n

  • RPG-style stat boosts<\/strong> \u2014 a focus stat tied to in-game actions<\/li>\n
  • Honour \/ karma system<\/strong> \u2014 devil icons in the HUD suggest a morality mechanic<\/li>\n
  • Vehicle fuel management<\/strong> \u2014 cars appear to need refuelling<\/li>\n
  • Expanded weapon loadouts and item storage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A leaked screenshot of the Leonida map confirms the setting’s scale: a large Miami-equivalent city on the east coast, island chains resembling the Florida Keys to the south, and a wide swath of rural land, swamps and coastal zones to the west and north.<\/p>\n
