The GTA 6 leak situation has turned into one of the most aggressive and sustained breaches of a major Rockstar title in years. Since August 18, 2026, an entity operating under the name CyberLeek has released a series of gameplay videos that appear to come from a playable development build of Grand Theft Auto VI. The clips show co-protagonist Jason in a range of activities, from everyday moments to high-speed driving and combat, and they have forced Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive into an escalating legal response.
CyberLeek’s drops have been consistent and increasingly bold. Early clips included Jason playing a basketball mini-game outside a safehouse previously seen in trailers, complete with early UI elements such as a Focus meter and dual cash displays. Another showed him driving and engaging in a roadside melee. Night-time footage followed, featuring a muscle car, a warehouse confrontation, and the use of a taser, revealing more of the combat system and wanted mechanics.
One of the most significant releases came around August 20. In that video, Jason flies a biplane over a large, detailed cityscape with radio stations playing and traffic visible below. The clip ends with him on the ground shooting the word “LEEK” into a wall with a rifle. The interactive nature of the sequence—especially the persistent bullet holes and destruction—convinced many observers that the person behind the leaks had direct access to a playable build rather than a collection of pre-recorded internal videos.
Subsequent drops focused on vehicles. A clip commonly referred to as the hypercar video shows Jason smashing the window of a high-performance sports car (resembling a Bugatti and referred to in some discussions as the Truffade Thrax), dragging the driver out with a new interaction, and then driving at high speed. Additional footage expanded on this with more driving and brief looks at nightlife locations, including the strip club.
Recent posts from accounts associated with the CyberLeek campaign continue to tease and share material. One account posting under the CyberLeek name shared cutscene footage and promised further gameplay, including a cops shootout, while another post teased strip-club content directly:
We get more leaks in 3 days!
These posts, along with earlier waves, have kept new material circulating even as primary distribution channels faced pressure.
As the videos multiplied, Take-Two moved beyond standard copyright takedown notices. On August 20, the company filed multiple subpoenas in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York targeting Microsoft and Discord.
The subpoenas seek information “sufficient to identify the user(s)” connected to the CyberLeek persona and the sharing of the leaked material. From Microsoft, Take-Two has requested account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, linked Xbox and Google accounts, device identifiers, and relevant content stored in OneDrive related to GTA, Rockstar, or CyberLeek. From Discord, the requests target user accounts that were members of specific servers (including ones associated with CyberLeek and related communities), along with device and telemetry records.
In practical terms, this means Take-Two’s legal team is not only hunting the original source of the files but also casting a wide net over people who discussed, shared, or were active in Discord channels connected to the leaks. The company is treating the circulation of the footage as copyright infringement and is using the legal process to force platforms to hand over identifying data. Microsoft and Discord were given until approximately September 4 to produce the requested records.
The legal pressure had an immediate effect on some of CyberLeek’s public-facing hubs. The main website and at least one Telegram channel went offline for a period, with Discord communities also coming under scrutiny. Yet the appearance of new clips after these actions showed that the material had already been mirrored and redistributed widely enough that complete containment was difficult.
Despite the subpoenas and takedowns, CyberLeek-associated accounts have continued posting. Messages from these accounts have been defiant, stating that Rockstar’s copyright claims and legal efforts will not stop further releases and that the build is no longer confined to a single location. The combination of rapid mirroring, alternative hosting, and the use of multiple accounts has so far allowed new footage to keep emerging.
The result is a prolonged public look at GTA 6 systems, world scale, vehicle handling, combat, and locations that Rockstar did not intend to show this early. The official Netflix Extended Look is still scheduled, but the uncontrolled leaks have already shaped much of the pre-release conversation.
Take-Two’s decision to subpoena Microsoft and Discord marks one of the more aggressive attempts in recent years to identify and shut down a major game leak at the source and among those circulating it. Whether it succeeds in identifying the people behind CyberLeek—or simply drives the remaining material further underground—will become clearer in the coming weeks as the platforms respond to the court orders.
For now, the leaks continue, the legal pressure is real, and the gap between Rockstar’s planned reveal and the footage already in the wild remains wide.
