A hacking group calling itself Cyberleek has leaked unedited gameplay footage of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6, framing the act as protest against the studio's business practices rather than a typical extortion attempt. The leak lands just a week before Rockstar's own official gameplay reveal, planned for 27 August on Netflix, and is likely to embarrass a notoriously secretive and controlling studio, though it appears unlikely to meaningfully damage the hugely anticipated game itself.

Cyberleek has published a manifesto citing grievances such as customisation options locked behind the $100 Ultimate Edition and the game's digital-only sales model, complaints that echo wider "gamers' rights" frustration following Sony's move away from physical PlayStation releases. Despite following a major 2022 leak of GTA 6 development footage, this latest breach has revealed no story spoilers or embarrassing content, with discussion instead focusing on gameplay mechanics like the Wanted system and map size. The footage itself, while not necessarily reflecting the game's final state, has been described as vivid and technically impressive.
