GTA 6 gameplay leaks online as Rockstar scrambles to remove videos before Netflix reveal
Avoid spoilers if you can
š Two clips reportedly showing GTA 6 gameplay have leaked online
š They were uploaded to the ResetEra gaming forum and show Jason shooting hoops and beating up a delivery driver
šæ A user named āCyberleekā has claimed responsibility, stating theyāve been leaked in protest to Rockstar not releasing a proper physical version of GTA 6
š This leak comes just over a week ahead of GTA 6ās official gameplay reveal on Netflix
A week or so ahead of the Netflix reveal of GTA 6, some more early footage of the hotly anticipated title has emerged online.
The two clips were first spotted on the gaming forum ResetEra (thanks, PC Gamer), with a group or individual named āCyberleekā claiming responsibility for them.
At the time of PC Gamerās original article, the first clip already had more than 100,000 views, although Rockstar appears to be scrambling to take them down, as they arenāt available to view in a multitude of places. You wonāt be able to view them here either.
In the first clip, we see protagonist Jason Duval in an ocean-side house ā presumably the same as seen in one of the gameās trailers. He jumps over the deck and onto the driveway, where he picks up a basketball and shoots some hoops.
It reveals some interesting mechanics, as when Jason makes a basket, he increases his āFocusā by 2%. We also see two cash totals listed in the HUD. If this is like GTA Online, thatāll be one for banked cash and another for on-hand cash.
A second clip was posted an hour later, which shows the player driving around in a broken car, crashing into a delivery truck, and then attacking the driver.
The user āCyberleekā has also purportedly published some screenshots of the in-game map, although from reports weāve seen, the art looks too simplistic for it to be actual in-game shots.
Below one image is a message from āCyberleekā, claiming that the leaks are motivated by Rockstarās decision not to release GTA 6 in a proper physical version.
The game is available physically, although itās nothing more than a ācode in a boxā, which has caused uproar among certain fans ā even if reports claim Rockstar hasnāt sold many of the physical version in any guise.
This supposed leak comes just a week before the GTA 6 Extended Look, Rockstarās proper gameplay reveal thatās going live on August 27, exclusively on Netflix for the first six hours, and will then appear on Rockstarās YouTube channel.
It has been rumored that the Extended Look is going to be three episodes long but that has since been debunked.
