The hacker collective Cyberleek released explicit gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) showing scenes inside a strip club and a nudist town with full nudity and provocative NPC behavior on August 24, escalating ongoing harassment of Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive [1, 2].
The strip club scenes include gameplay where weapons cannot be used but players engage in mini-games such as pool, and cinematic camera angles activate when standing still [1]. The nudist town features NPCs parodying southern hillbillies and portraying conservative conspiracy theorists opposing "degenerates" and liberals [1, 2].
Cyberleek demanded gamers protest in person outside Rockstar and Take-Two offices, requiring at least 10 to dress as leeks and hold GTA discs during working hours. A young man reportedly visited Rockstar North’s Edinburgh office carrying leeks and recorded a message chanting, "Enough is enough, drop the beach leaks for all the incels!" [3, 2].
Leaked GTA 6 content has been hosted on Arweave, a decentralized storage network making complete removal difficult [3]. Rockstar and Take-Two are responding with legal actions, issuing subpoenas to Microsoft, Discord, and X to trace Cyberleek’s identity [3].
Employees at Rockstar are reportedly exhausted and frustrated by repeated leaks, with morale low as the game nears final development [3, 4]. The first major leak occurred in 2023, leading Rockstar to tighten security, increase in-office work, and restrict remote tool access [3, 4].
Separately, leaked details reveal GTA 6’s in-game time scale features 6 real seconds per in-game minute, creating a full day-night cycle lasting about 2 hours and 24 minutes [5].
Cyberleek’s latest leak on August 24 follows prior footage released on August 22 after supporters helped raise a cryptomarket cap to $3 million, unlocking additional content [1].
Netflix plans a GTA 6 reveal on August 27, promising more official details on gameplay and time mechanics [5].
