Unconfirmed leak: alleged GTA VI development footage surfaces as leakers make demands

This is an unconfirmed leak: Rockstar Games has not confirmed that the footage is genuine or that anything shown in it will be in the game. On October 8, 2026, Push Square reported that a leaker going by Cyberleek had posted around 25 minutes of video said to come from a development build of GTA VI. WANTED SIX does not link to the material and does not repeat story details from it.

What has been reported

Push Square describes the footage as unofficial and taken from a development build that may not reflect the finished game. According to the report, it includes driving sequences in first person. Rockstar has not announced a first-person view for launch, and Push Square explicitly warns against treating the leak as confirmation.

On October 11, Tom's Hardware reported on the group's demands. It reportedly wants a physical release of the game and an apology from Take-Two and Rockstar, and threatens to publish the full build otherwise. It also ties further leaks to a market-cap target for its own cryptocurrency.

The official position

According to Tom's Hardware, neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has addressed the demands directly. After earlier leaks from the same source in August, Rockstar described the situation as heartbreaking for its development team without naming the leakers, as both Push Square and Tom's Hardware report. No legal action against the group is described in the reports we read. Officially, GTA VI still launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Be careful with downloads and spoilers

Tom's Hardware warns about supposed game files circulating online. One alleged copy of the game was, according to testers, mostly padding and contained malware. The leaked videos are also said to include possible story spoilers.

Context on other leaks is collected under leaks, and confirmed information under official news.
