GTA 6 Leak Tied to Crypto Group Criticizes Digital-Only Gaming Landscape

A GTA 6 gameplay and map leak has surfaced online, linked to a cryptocurrency group called CyberLeek. The clips purporting to show GTA 6 gameplay have been circulating on social platforms, featuring protagonist Jason shooting hoops outside his house and driving a car. An image claiming to be the game's complete map has also made the rounds.

CyberLeek's manifesto targets Rockstar and the publishing industry as a whole, criticizing digital-only preorders and single-player DLC that is later stripped away. The group specifically calls out Rockstar for shipping GTA 6 without a physical disc option, echoing concerns raised about Ubisoft's The Crew. CyberLeek warns publishers to 'behave' or risk becoming the next target.

Rockstar and Take-Two are scrambling to remove the leaked footage from social platforms, while the memecoin tied to the leak has gained attention online. The authenticity of the leak remains unverified, with some speculating that it may be a crypto grift. The leak comes at awkward timing for Rockstar, which is set to debut Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look on Netflix this Thursday.
