GTA 6 Hacker Group Continues Leaks With In-Game Store Clip, Claims Focus on Ownership

Hacking group Cyberleek has released another gameplay clip for Grand Theft Auto 6, continuing its campaign of unauthorized leaks that has reportedly frustrated developer Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive. The latest video showcases a scene set in a game store, a detail the group is using to push its narrative that its actions are a protest against the move away from physical media.

The two-minute clip features the game's co-protagonist, Jason, exploring a shop called Game Hoard, which is stocked with physical game boxes. The footage highlights in-game references to popular titles like Elden Ring and Returnal, and focuses on a sign encouraging game trade-ins, a practice dependent on physical discs. A caption accompanying the leak states, "This is not about discs. It is about ownership. Resale rights still matter — even in a digital age."

This framing marks a shift from Cyberleek's initial justification for the leaks, which cited Rockstar and Take-Two's decision to sell GTA 6 without physical discs as the motivation. Despite evidence suggesting the group aims to maximize profits from the leaks, it continues to promote this activist stance. Digital rights advocacy groups have reportedly distanced themselves from Cyberleek's cause.

The new gameplay segment also offers further insights into potential game mechanics. Jason is shown purchasing phone accessories like cases and headphones, suggesting a level of player customization not seen in Grand Theft Auto 5. This detail has fueled speculation among fans that GTA 6 may allow players to use their in-game phones for more than just calls, potentially including listening to the radio while on foot.

Rockstar Games has not officially commented on Cyberleek's activities, but reports indicate that developers are experiencing frustration. Take-Two Interactive has been actively working to identify those responsible for the leaks. Cyberleek has vowed to continue releasing footage ahead of Netflix's upcoming extended gameplay reveal, implying that more leaks are forthcoming.
