GTA 6: CyberLeek Threatens to Leak the 13-Minute Netflix Video

On August 20, CyberLeek threatened to leak the 13-minute video that Rockstar had saved for the August 27 premiere of GTA 6 on Netflix.

CyberLeek, the leaker who has been posting GTA 6 material for days without Rockstar's permission, threatened on August 20 on X to release a 13-minute preview video that the company had been saving exclusively for the August 27 Netflix premiere. So far, there’s no confirmation that this specific video has actually been released.

GTA 6 is facing its most tense week yet ahead of the big premiere. The standoff between Rockstar and the mysterious leaker CyberLeek comes right up against the official release date, with a warning that, if carried out, would force the release of the year’s most important material ahead of schedule.

What CyberLeek Has Threatened to Leak

In a message posted on his X account, CyberLeek was blunt:

“Rockstar, brace yourself for the worst. Today I’m going to leak a 13-minute trailer that’s supposed to come out on August 27.”

The statement, reported by IBTimes UK, points directly to the video Rockstar had been saving for Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, the extended presentation the company was going to premiere first on Netflix before uploading it to YouTube and the game’s official website. This is the piece set to kick off the final stretch leading up to the launch.

Why August 27 Is the Date Rockstar Didn’t Want to Touch

August 27 was supposed to be the day when new GTA 6 gameplay would finally be officially revealed, with Netflix serving as the premiere platform for an extended preview. The fact that this footage was leaked ahead of schedule—even if it’s just a snippet—robs Rockstar of control over how and when its own game is presented. This isn’t the first time it’s happened this week. CyberLeek had already posted gameplay videos showing a flyover of Vice City, screenshots of the complete Leonida map, and clips of its honor system, and Take-Two responded with copyright takedown notices—a sign that that earlier material was indeed authentic.

CyberLeek’s Credibility Under Suspicion

Here’s the important caveat: just because the previous leaks appear to be real doesn’t make this specific threat a done deal. CyberLeek presents itself as a protest against Take-Two’s practices regarding digital pre-orders and paid content, but it has also promoted its own cryptocurrency tied to its leaks and solicited funds for a “secret project”—which has raised doubts about whether the motivation behind it is activism, ego, or simply profit-driven hype. As of now, there has been no confirmation from Rockstar or Take-Two that the 13-minute video has actually been leaked.

What This Means for GTA 6 Players

If the video is actually leaked before August 27, Rockstar would miss out on its big moment of controlled marketing, though the content would still reach players—just through the back door. And if the threat comes to nothing—as has already happened with other leak warnings this generation—August 27 will still be the actual date. What’s clear is that Rockstar is facing its own presentation with its schedule partly dictated by someone else—something unthinkable for the series just a few years ago.

Quick Questions

Has CyberLeek already leaked the 13-minute GTA 6 video?

There’s no confirmation that this specific video has been released. For now, it’s a threat posted on X on August 20—not a confirmed fact.

What was Rockstar’s 13-minute video supposed to show?

It’s the extended presentation Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, which Rockstar was set to premiere on Netflix on August 27 before uploading it to YouTube and its official website.

Is CyberLeek reliable?

Its previous leaks regarding the map and gameplay appear to be genuine, judging by Take-Two’s takedown notices, but its promotion of its own cryptocurrency has cast doubt on its motives.
