Grand Theft Auto VI is once again the subject of leaks, with a new two-minute clip shared by user Cyberleek showcasing previously unseen gameplay elements. The footage, which has reportedly been removed from its original posting on the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit, depicts protagonist Jason engaging in a gas station robbery and a subsequent car chase.
Gas Station Mechanics and Combat
The leaked video highlights the game's interface for refueling vehicles at gas stations. While the specific mechanics are not fully demonstrated due to Jason's in-game wanted level, the clip suggests a seamless, game-like interaction with gas pumps. The footage also offers a glimpse at the game's progressive damage system for vehicles, which appears to be quite detailed. During the robbery, Jason assaults gas station attendants before escaping in a stolen sports car, only to be pursued by sheriff's deputies.
Prior to the assault, Jason already had a two-star wanted rating, and the previous leak suggested the stolen car might be equipped with a tracker. Undeterred, Jason proceeds to another gas station, where he repeats the robbery attempt before crashing the vehicle in a high-speed collision with a truck. The slow-motion depiction of the crash emphasizes the game's detailed vehicle destruction.
Strip Club Tease and Cryptocurrency Incentive
In addition to a watermark promoting his cryptocurrency, Cyberleek has included a stipulation for further gameplay reveals. The leaker has promised to showcase gameplay set in a strip club if his cryptocurrency reaches a market cap of $3 million. The leaked video concludes with a shot of Jason entering a rural strip club, serving as a tease for this potential future content.
Despite the nature of the leaks and the leaker's methods, the footage has sparked interest among some viewers, drawing comparisons to the atmosphere of the first season of True Detective and the unique setting of Louisiana. The game's art direction, particularly a poster outside the strip club referencing "Sunday Bumday," has been noted as a touch characteristic of Rockstar's UK origins.
The leaks provide an early look at some of the interactive elements and atmosphere intended for Grand Theft Auto VI, even as official details remain scarce.
