GTA 6 Leaks Continue as Hacking Group CyberLeek Claims Full Access and Threatens Rockstar Over All-Digital Future

A self-described hacking group called CyberLeek continued leaking Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage on August 20, 2026, claiming to have "full access" to Rockstar Games' unreleased title and promising more videos to come.

The X account posting the initial leaks had been suspended after the first batch of three videos appeared the day before. Within hours, a new account under the same name resurfaced and resumed posting, according to Eurogamer. A fourth video showed a biplane soaring above a sprawling city — presumed to be Vice City, the series' fictional take on Miami — with detailed skyscrapers, spiralling highways and traffic visible far below. The clip ended with the game's co-protagonist Jason firing a rifle, leaving bullet holes that spelled out "leek," a signature linking the footage to CyberLeek.

Shorter clips followed. One showed a small passenger plane taking off from an airport while a six-star wanted level flashed and police sirens blared — the series' signature measure of how aggressively law enforcement pursues the player. Another captured a helicopter drifting over marshland resembling Florida's Everglades. It remained unconfirmed whether the footage was genuine or how current the build of the game was.

The leaker had told followers the previous day to prepare for two to four more videos. CyberLeek, which first surfaced earlier in the week, has claimed it is "fighting for gamers' rights," as Polygon reported on August 18. The group's stated grievance centres on GTA 6 not shipping on a physical disc and Rockstar offering substantial exclusive in-game content only to buyers of the more expensive Ultimate Edition. The day before the latest wave, IGN reported that the group threatened Rockstar over its all-digital future.

The leaks were also turning a profit. An associated donation drive, incentivised and accepting cryptocurrency, meant CyberLeek was financially benefiting from the stolen footage. The consumer rights movement Stop Killing Games condemned the leaks and urged followers not to send money, describing the acts as "illegal."

For Rockstar, the timing is uncomfortable. The publisher is preparing an "extended look" trailer for GTA 6, scheduled to air on Netflix the following week. Eurogamer noted that the leaked clips were raw and unedited, making it unlikely they came from that polished presentation.

Rockstar has not publicly commented on the leaks. The publisher's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has not issued a statement either. For now, the footage circulates unverified — raw gameplay that may or may not reflect the game players will eventually hold, but that thousands are watching regardless.
