Three GTA 6 gameplay clips in a single day — that’s where things stand as of 19 August, one week before Rockstar’s planned official extended look on Netflix. A group calling itself CyberLeek began releasing footage the previous evening, and by the time the third video circulated it was apparent this wasn’t going away quickly. Rockstar responded with aggressive copyright takedowns rather than any public statement, which — as it has been for every leak before it — effectively confirms the footage is legitimate.
What the Third Clip Actually Shows
The third video centres on co-protagonist Jason, driving a muscle car through Vice City at night. The sequence shifts between several scenarios: breaking into a warehouse compound, tussling with security, and then facing off against police using a taser. Slow-motion fight moves are visible, along with the ability to smash car windows. An option to “clone key” appears when Jason brushes past another vehicle — suggesting GTA 6 will offer more varied ways to steal cars than its predecessors.
The sequence ends with Jason climbing into a lorry. The footage then cuts to a short cutscene: Jason sitting on the side of a fishing boat with a friend, Cal Hampton, sharing a beer somewhere sunny on the water.
This cutscene detail matters. CyberLeek appears to have deliberately spliced it in to demonstrate they have access to more than just gameplay clips — including story sequences Rockstar would very much prefer to keep under wraps before launch.
A sharp-eyed detail from earlier in the batch of leaks: the in-game radio in one clip plays “Sports Car” by Tate McRae, a track released in early 2025. That dates the development build to 2025 at the earliest, meaning what we’re seeing is far more representative of the final game than old pre-release builds would be. Other mechanics spotted across the clips include RDR2-style killcams, civilians reporting crimes, and the option to surrender to police.
Who Is CyberLeek and What Do They Want?
CyberLeek operates anonymously through social media accounts and a temporary website. No verified identity has been confirmed, though speculation has pointed towards a German IT forum user — unproven. The group has referenced Arion Kurtaj, the 2022 GTA 6 leaker, as “our colleague”, though no connection has been established.
Their stated motivation is consumer advocacy: they object to GTA 6 launching without a physical disc option, to digital pre-orders going on sale before any independent reviews exist, and to single-player content allegedly locked away in the base game files. They say they won’t stop until Rockstar issues a public apology and a concrete commitment to change.
The consumer advocacy framing has drawn scepticism. CyberLeek has also been directing followers towards a Solana memecoin — a detail that prompted Stop Killing Games, a genuine consumer rights campaign, to publicly distance themselves and urge people not to send the group money. The dual message — fight for your rights, also buy our crypto — has made the group’s stated principles harder to take at face value.
Why Rockstar’s Response Matters
Rockstar’s decision to pursue copyright takedowns rather than issue any comment is telling. The takedowns are automatic confirmation of authenticity — studios don’t file copyright strikes on footage they don’t own. It also signals a deliberate strategy: say nothing publicly, quietly remove the clips, and hope the news cycle moves on before 27 August.
That date is when Rockstar is scheduled to debut an official “extended look” at GTA 6 on Netflix. The footage was reportedly due to air for free on YouTube later the same day. The leaks have arrived at the worst possible moment from Rockstar’s perspective: the company had planned a controlled, carefully staged reveal, and now the conversation is being shaped by footage they didn’t choose to share.
Key date: Rockstar’s official GTA 6 extended look premieres on Netflix on 27 August, with a free YouTube stream to follow the same day. GTA 6 launches November 2026.
What Comes Next
CyberLeek has stated that two to four more leaks are incoming. Whether those materialise — and whether Rockstar takes any further action beyond copyright strikes — remains to be seen. The group’s demands have received no public response from Rockstar or Take-Two Interactive.
For fans trying to stay spoiler-free ahead of the November launch, avoiding social media and gaming forums for the next few days is probably the safest approach. For everyone else, the footage that has circulated suggests GTA 6’s ambitions for the single-player experience remain as expansive as expected — even if the circumstances of this particular reveal were not what anyone planned.
