Summary

  • New leaked GTA 6 gameplay shows protagonist Jason Duval robbing a gas-station store, fleeing by car, crashing in slow motion and then running into a strip club.
  • The slow-motion camera effect is the standout new detail, surfacing before Rockstar has shown official gameplay and potentially spoiling a feature the studio had kept under wraps.
  • Rockstar and parent Take-Two are trying to trace the leaks through federal-court subpoenas for GitHub, Microsoft and Discord records, with Xbox CTO Scott Van Vliet pledging support.
  • Cyberleeks, the alias tied to the latest footage, is reportedly charging as much as $165,000 in cryptocurrency for ads in leaked clips as GTA 6 heads toward a Netflix reveal on Aug. 27 at 3 p.m. ET.
