A third GTA 6 gameplay video has leaked — and the group behind it wants Rockstar to press discs
A third video of what appears to be legitimate Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay has leaked online, this time bearing the watermark of a group calling itself CyberLeek. The footage shows co-protagonist Jason driving a muscle car through Vice City at night before fighting warehouse security and later police with a taser. Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has been issuing takedowns across the internet to scrub the clips, though the publisher had not publicly commented as of 19 August 2026. Eurogamer
The leaked video reveals several gameplay details that had not been shown in official trailers. Jason performs slow-motion fight moves, smashes car windows, and clones keys — a mechanic that suggests a more hands-on approach to theft and infiltration than previous entries in the series. The footage also transitions from a large lorry to a small fishing boat, where a cutscene shows Jason sharing a beer with a friend. A second report, published 18 August, noted that the leaks showcase optional leisure activities for both protagonists, Jason and Lucia, as well as detailed water graphics. Polygon
CyberLeek stated on social media that its motive is to pressure Rockstar into releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 on physical disc — a demand that taps into ongoing concern among some players about the industry's shift away from tangible game copies. The group also claimed that "2-4 more leaks" were incoming the following day. It is unknown how old the leaked footage is, so elements may have changed by the time the final game releases.
The leaks have drawn criticism from an unexpected corner. CyberLeek appeared to be profiting from the clips by directing people to buy cryptocurrency, prompting consumer rights group Stop Killing Games to issue a blunt warning: "Do not send these people your money, no matter how much sympathy you may feel for their actions."

The timing is notable. Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on 19 November 2026, and the leaks arrived roughly a week before the game's Netflix "extended look" premiere, which will also air for free on YouTube. That official preview is expected to be Rockstar's most substantial showcase of the game since its debut trailers.
This is not the first time an unauthorised glimpse of GTA 6 has escaped into the wild. In September 2022, development footage leaked after a hack, showing early animation tests and level design elements. Rockstar issued takedown orders at the time to remove that material from YouTube and Twitter. BBC News
For fans, the new footage offers an unscheduled peek at combat, driving and quieter character moments — the kind of detail Rockstar typically parcelled out in carefully staged trailers. But the source is a group asking players to buy crypto, and the footage's age is anyone's guess. The official extended look, now just days away, may make clear what has changed.
