GTA 6: CyberLeek Leaks Gameplay and Map 8 Days Before the Official Reveal

CyberLeek has leaked at least three GTA 6 gameplay videos and the complete map of Leonida just 8 days before “An Extended Look,” the official preview that Rockstar is premiering on Netflix.

The CyberLeek group has leaked at least three GTA 6 gameplay videos and an image of what is purported to be the complete Leonida map, and Take-Two is already taking down the material via DMCA notices within hours. All of this is happening just 8 days before “An Extended Look,” the official preview of GTA 6 that Rockstar is set to premiere on Netflix on August 27.

Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has publicly confirmed or denied anything. But the swift and systematic legal takedown itself is the clearest indication that the material circulating on X, Reddit, and ResetEra since August 18 is not just any old hoax, as we’ve already noted in previous leaks of the game.

What the Leaked GTA 6 Videos Show

The first two clips, each just over a minute long, are low-quality and feature watermarks with QR codes and web addresses from the leaking group itself.

The first shows Jason, one of the two protagonists, at his home by the water: he walks through the living room, steps out onto the balcony with gym equipment, and plays a game of basketball with a shot-tracking system, a direct descendant of the GTA San Andreas minigame. In the upper-right corner, a HUD displays the amount of money available.

The second clip is more action-packed. Jason drives toward “the Keys,” accidentally hits a delivery van, and ends up in a fistfight—and a battle with a wrench—against the other driver. The fight raises his wanted level to two stars, and an honor meter appears—reminiscent of the karma system in Red Dead Redemption 2—along with “loadout” and storage icons right in the car itself.

Hours later, a third clip was released—the longest one, set at night: Jason is inside a club, chatting with other characters while receiving messages on WhatUp, the game’s messaging app, according to Push Square. The same outlet reports on a fourth video featuring “Sports Car” by Tate McRae, a song from 2025—a detail that complicates the theory that all the footage is old, though some argue that the music could have been added later.

Details the Community Has Spotted in the Clips

With the footage still circulating, outlets like Kotaku have scrutinized every frame. Always with the same caution—none of this has been confirmed by Rockstar—here are the most striking details that have been spotted:

• Six-star wanted level: next to the two lit-up stars from the fight, four more dimmed stars are visible—something not seen since San Andreas.
• The police have a memory: Below the stars, icons appear showing what the officers know about you—your clothes, your vehicle, and your last known location.
• Gas and engine condition: Cars display fuel gauges and mechanical damage indicators.
• Stamina in fights: The stamina bar forces you to pace your punches, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Two money pockets: a wallet icon and a safe icon for the safehouse, separated on the interface.

The Leonida map circulating online

The most talked-about piece isn’t a video, but a screenshot of the alleged complete map. As described by Engadget, it shows several islands, a vast green area extending inland, and a major city to the east with a Miami-style aesthetic—presumably Vice City—within the Leonida complex. Notable markers include icons for houses, masks, and alligators scattered across the map.

There is no consensus on how old the material is. Some metadata analyses point to a build from 2024; other users date the images to 2022 or 2023. No media outlet has been able to confirm the exact date of capture, so taking this as the game’s current state is, for now, a leap of faith.

Who Is CyberLeek and What Are They Asking of Rockstar?

CyberLeek presents itself as a protest group, not as leakers motivated by money. In a statement published on its own website, it demands three things from Rockstar: to end digital pre-orders before launch, not to charge extra for content that was already included in the game, and to guarantee that GTA VI will remain playable offline once the servers are shut down someday.

The group also claims to have more unpublished material in its possession. And their argument loses credibility due to one detail: the leaked material itself includes links to cryptocurrency donations. Several media outlets point out that the “protest” also serves to drive traffic to those links, making it far less altruistic than the manifesto suggests. A practical warning: if you come across the clips, do not scan the QR codes or open the embedded links—they point to wallets and websites that no one has audited.

In the background, the real countdown: Rockstar has already set a date to show Jason and Lucia in action without filters—something you can check out on the characters page as we wait for August 27.

Quick Questions

Is CyberLeek’s GTA 6 leak official?

No. Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has confirmed it; all we know is that Take-Two is taking down the content with DMCA notices, which suggests the material is authentic without actually proving it.

When will Rockstar reveal official GTA 6 gameplay?

Rockstar will premiere “An Extended Look” at GTA 6 on August 27, 2026—first on Netflix and a few hours later on YouTube. The company hasn’t specified what it will contain: “Trailer 3” and “gameplay” are terms used by the press, not by Rockstar itself.

What year is the leaked GTA 6 video from?

It hasn’t been confirmed. Unofficial estimates range from 2022 to 2024, depending on the source—and the 2025 song playing in the fourth clip further complicates the dating.

With Rockstar remaining completely silent and the official reveal just around the corner, this leak leaves more questions than clear screenshots.
