Rockstar Games has been having major leaks for a few days already. CyberLeek, a hacker group constantly releasing gameplay footage from the internal playable build, including the entire map of Vice City, combat scenes, and other details. This leak appeared just a few days before GTA 6's official gameplay showcase on Netflix on August 27.  

These leaks affected Take-Two Interactive's shares, but for a long time Rockstar remained completely silent. However, some developers were extremely upset at seeing their efforts wasted like this. To cheer them up, a high-ranking executive from Rockstar Games sent an email to developers stating that these leaks won’t spoil their excellent work over the years. 

The leak also caused trouble inside Rockstar. However, reports say staff were told the company’s plans have not changed and that the August 27 Extended Look will proceed as planned. The studio is also reportedly frustrated by the incident. Take-Two has asked Microsoft and Discord to provide information that could help identify the people behind the leaks.

GTA 6 Leaks Raise a Bigger Question

The biggest question now is not just how much footage has leaked. It is how someone got access to the game in the first place. The leaked clips appear to come from a playable version of GTA 6. This has made the situation more serious for Rockstar. The company now needs to find the source while stopping more material from spreading.

CyberLeek claimed responsibility, but continued to post new material. The group also promoted a cryptocurrency and raised complaints about Rockstar’s digital game plans. 

Rockstar still has an important date ahead. Its official GTA 6 Extended Look is scheduled for August 27, while the game is due to launch on November 19, 2026. The leak may not change the game’s release plans, but it has created a fresh security problem. For Rockstar, finding the source and stopping further leaks may now matter as much as the next official reveal.
