Apparent GTA 6 Footage And Map Leak As Rockstar Issues Takedowns
New footage and details about Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6 appear to have been leaked online. While the full veracity of the intel has yet to be confirmed, Rockstar's DMCA takedown requests suggest that some of it could be legitimate.. And the person or persons behind the leak has issued some biblical demands if the company wants to avoid any additional unauthorized disclosures.
The leaker, who goes by Cyberleek, has issued the following "commandments" to Rockstar and other game publishers:
Those demands have been shared on social media with a further warning that, "These commandments are the floor--not the ceiling--of what is acceptable." The statement also threatens to target publishers for additional leaks if the commandment are violated.
The first game footage clip--which is already becoming scarce online--features GTA 6 co-lead Jason hanging out at home and playing a little basketball. It also features a look at the game's modified HUD and a basketball tutorial that goes over the minigame's controls. The clip is only about a minute long, and some viewers have suggested that it's from a much earlier build of the game than the one heading to stores in a few months.
In the second video from the leaker, Jason is behind the wheel of a car as the game shows off its driving gameplay. After crashing into several vehicles, Jason angers a delivery driver who challenges him to a fight. The subsequent encounter utilizes the game's combat engine. And the aftermath of the fight attracts some unwanted attention from the cops.
A map of GTA 6's Leonida setting was also part of the leak, but it's unclear if it came from Rockstar or if it was a fan creation.
The leak comes just over a week before GTA 6 is scheduled to get an extended showcase on Netflix. That special will debut on August 27, and it's expected to have an in-depth preview of some of the game's features.
GTA 6 will be released on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the game's physical copies will only feature codes in the box, Take-Two hasn't entirely ruled out a disc release.
