A prolific leaker known as Cyberleek has released further purported footage of Grand Theft Auto VI, offering fresh glimpses into the game's world and mechanics. The latest videos include a scenic flyover of the game's expansive city and surrounding areas, featuring player character Jason piloting a crop duster and interacting with the in-game radio system. One clip notably concludes with a demonstration of the game's environmental detail and physics, as Jason fires a rifle into a wall, spelling out the word "LEEK" with bullet holes.
This sequence is being interpreted as strong evidence that Cyberleek has access to a playable build of the game. The leaker has consistently used the leaks to promote a memecoin, $CYBERLEEK, and has included QR codes in some footage, drawing criticism for attempting to monetize the unauthorized distribution of game assets.
The new footage provides a more detailed look at the scale and intricacy of the game's environment, with one clip highlighting the vast cityscape situated between the Florida Keys and Vice City. However, the visuals also reveal what appear to be placeholder textures, particularly on the clouds, and a user interface that seems rudimentary, suggesting that the build may be from an earlier development stage. The city's design, described as having an elaborate and realistic layout, lacks the visible tiling often seen in large game worlds.
A new UI element revealed in the videos is the radio menu, presented as a grid of squares. The player selects a track, Róisín Murphy’s "Overpowered," a song released seven years ago. This menu design, along with a previously leaked weapon selection interface, is considered by some observers to be potentially unrefined for a build that might be closer to release.
Beyond the environmental and UI details, the footage of Jason spelling "LEEK" with bullet impacts on a wall demonstrates the game engine's capability to render numerous bullet holes and granular destruction effects. This, coupled with previous leaks, reinforces the belief that Cyberleek has obtained a substantial, playable version of Grand Theft Auto VI.
With the game's official reveal scheduled for August 27, the ongoing leaks are expected to continue. The authenticity and age of Cyberleek's build will likely become clearer when compared against the official showcase, potentially highlighting significant advancements in the game's interface and overall polish since the leaked footage was captured.
