In a striking turn of events, the hacker known as Cyberleek has escalated their protest against Rockstar Games by releasing new gameplay clips and the entire map of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. The latest videos, showcased on Cyberleek’s website, suggest that the leaker possesses a complete, unreleased build of the game. In one particularly notable clip, the character is seen shooting at a wall to spell out “LEEK,” indicating that the hacker has recorded themselves playing the game rather than merely accessing internal footage.

In response to these leaks, Rockstar has been proactive, issuing DMCA takedown notices, particularly targeting platforms like YouTube. However, some clips remain accessible on social media, and the leaker’s website continues to operate, albeit intermittently overwhelmed by traffic, resulting in occasional 502 Bad Gateway errors. This situation poses a significant threat to Rockstar, especially as Cyberleek has vowed to persist with the leaks until the company issues a public apology accompanied by “a concrete commitment to be better.” The hacker has even hinted at the possibility of revealing the game’s ending, which could spoil the experience for countless fans.
While the gaming community has been buzzing with speculation about the next trailer release, it appears that Rockstar is also a target for malicious actors. Earlier this year, the company faced a hack that resulted in threats to release confidential data unless a ransom was paid. The previous leaks were reported to be based on footage over a year old, yet many community members believe the recent leaks are from a more current game build, adding urgency to Rockstar’s response efforts.
Despite the ongoing leaks, there is a prevailing sentiment that many gamers will still eagerly purchase GTA VI, regardless of the information that has surfaced. However, it is undoubtedly disheartening for the developers who poured their creativity and hard work into the game to see their efforts exposed online. As Rockstar navigates this challenging landscape, the balance between maintaining secrecy and addressing fan anticipation remains delicate.
