Over the past 48 hours, the internet has been plagued with GTA 6 leaked footage.

While some have been obviously AI-generated, others are real - and they all have the same source. The clips are being released on social media by a user called CyberLeek. The leaks appear to be legitimate, and they've stated why they are releasing these videos.

Here's everything we know about CyberLeek.

Who Is CyberLeek?

CyberLeek is a person or group responsible for releasing multiple clips of the unreleased Grand Theft Auto 6. It's currently unknown whether CyberLeek is a hacker, a hacker group, and ex-Rockstar developer, or someone with really good contacts.

Over the past two days, they've posted gameplay clips and an image of what appears to be the game's final map. While Rockstar Games hasn't released a statement on these leaks, they've filed DMCA takedowns to have the clips removed from social media posts and video hosting websites.

The clips show co-protagonist Jason Duval playing basketball, driving through Vice City at night, fighting guards, stealing trucks, and more. One clip even suggests they have a full playable build of GTA 6. They've also shared additional information on Telegram, like the fact that the game will feature a currency that can be traded for real-life money.

Most of the leaks were shared through CyberLeek's website and Telegram/Discord accounts. While an X account with the same name was first believed to also be from CyberLeek, a watermark in a leaked gameplay clip confirmed it was an impersonator.

At the time of writing, their website has now been shut down, and no new posts have been found on Telegram or Discord.

They are specifically targeting Rockstar Games and Take-Two due to their controversial decision to release a physical version of GTA 6 without actual discs and only shipping out a box with a code to redeem the digital game.

Rockstar previously revealed that one of the reasons behind this decision is to prevent GTA 6 from leaking early. CyberLeek is proving that even if they don't release a physical copy, the game can be leaked.

They are also urging Rockstar Games to avoid paywalling single-player content as DLC. Previously, it was revealed that most stores and cosmetics in GTA 6 are locked behind the $100 Ultimate Edition.

However, they are also leaking the game to promote their cryptocurrency memecoin. All leaks have been notably watermarked with the name and logo of $CYBERLEEK. Doing this prompts people to at least check out the coin.

According to a GTAForum user, CyberLeek has made an estimated $50,000 in trading fees, with $29,000 of that spent to launch their website and launch their own token infrastructure. They've reportedly made $40-60k in fees. However, CyberLeek has not confirmed this.

With CyberLeek's social media accounts down, we likely won't be seeing more leaks anytime soon. Unless they decide to make a comeback, that is.
