Leaked gameplay clips and images from "GTA 6" have been released.
Hello,
In recent days and this morning, there have been whispers online about a leaked GTA 6 gameplay clip, accompanied by some screenshots. Many people remain very doubtful, suspecting it might just be an internet joke or fake, but now it seems these images are genuine.
This has just been verified by Jason Schreier, a trusted journalist from Bloomberg and a well-respected figure in the gaming world. You can follow his update here: https://twitter.com/x/status/1571489679534608384
As he mentioned in his tweet, "There wasn’t much hesitation; I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is real. The footage is early and incomplete, of course. This is one of the most significant leaks in gaming history and a major concern for Rockstar Games."
On YouTube and GTAForums, numerous videos and screenshots are circulating, suggesting they come from an initial development stage—essentially a work-in-progress. This appears to be one of the largest gaming leaks we’ve encountered so far. Honestly, it brings back memories of the Half-Life 2 leak.
A collection of fresh screenshots and videos purportedly showing Grand Theft Auto 6 is emerging today. They include new animations, NPC interactions, a robbery inside a restaurant, a police confrontation, and an early glimpse of the supposed new female lead. It’s been a while since Rockstar officially confirmed GTA 6 was in development. To date, over 90 videos and clips have surfaced.
The company hasn’t released any teasers since, hinting that a full release is still far off—possibly not until 2024/25. These leaks reveal details about the UI, placeholder dialogue, the new “Star” system, and more. We’re also seeing some PlayStation debugging tools in circulation.
A post on Resetera forums suggested this might be an early build, noting that the tram footage mentions “Vice City,” possibly hinting at the game’s theme. A Twitter thread by @melzyfn highlighted a second male character exploring what looks like Vice City, signaling a return to one of the series’ iconic locations. It also offers insight into GTA 6’s new swimming mechanics and inventory system, both still in their infancy.
A user named teapotuberhacker shared a zip file on GTAForums, claiming it contains 90 clips—potentially more data soon, including GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets. The leaked footage appears to be running on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 at low 720p resolution. This could mean either very old footage or Rockstar testing across a broad range of hardware, given the scale of the franchise.
Other clips are seen on higher-end GPUs like the GeForce RTX 3080 at 4K resolution and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 1080p. This suggests some of these recordings were made within the last few years, as the Ampere generation of graphics cards is relatively new.
I’m certain Rockstar will eventually remove all these clips, so it’s best to watch them now while they’re available. The leaks have already been posted on major gaming and tech websites—so you can easily search for them online. Just remember, Google is your most reliable source.
I won’t share direct video links here for obvious reasons, but I’ve included the screenshots captured. You can view them here: https://twitter.com/x/status/1571366681846464512

I don't see the value of sharing details at this early stage in production. It comes across as more bothersome than appealing. The main concern is the potential harm to the game or Rockstar if the hacker isn't stopped soon.
On a different note, I found myself feeling somewhat uninterested in GTA VI after hearing they're planning to reuse Miami as a setting again. It seems like they might not be aiming for much originality by just returning to LA, NY, and Miami.
Rockstar issued a comment about the recent leak. The company stated that a network breach led to the footage being shared online, but confirmed to players that this incident won't harm their services or affect ongoing game development in the near future.
There was indeed a network intrusion. Check out the tweet above. Concerning the MIAMI location, I'm not entirely convinced, but it would be much better if ROCKSTAR chose a new original city or country. It's also possible the developer will begin building the game from scratch due to this recent hack/leak. Since there is still time for them to code and modify assets as they see fit.
I don't notice much effort to provide a service that goes beyond what we expect, especially when they return to familiar spots. It seems they already have many ideas from fans about better options.
Seems just as uninteresting as GTA5. I question if much will be altered or expanded in terms of gameplay.
I haven't even played GTA 5 completely yet. Got bored in the middle and had to stop. Some missions felt a bit repetitive or boring for me. The game is also quite long, with many missions to finish. It really takes a lot of time. At least 70-74 missions should be completed if I remember right.
Yeah, the grumbling during the fight scenes between the three main characters really complicates things.
Besides that, I think some of the game's language and dialogues can be off-putting and unsettling. In PC games, I prefer clear and polished storytelling, avoiding any slang or words that might not appeal to every player.
I understand GTA 5 is rated for adults, but I still believe games should be more suitable for families. That’s just my perspective, and I know many people enjoy playing GTA 5 like it’s the best game in the world, haha.
On a more serious point, I never really grasped the excitement around the entire GTA series. It’s not a poor gaming franchise at all.
This game and CSGO are currently the most popular titles on Earth.
