Multiple GTA 6 Gameplay Videos Appear To Have Leaked, But There's A Catch Or Two
Leaked gameplay footage of GTA 6 has surfaced on social media, appearing to originate from a 2023 build of the game. Rockstar Games and Take-Two are actively issuing takedown requests, and fans are advised to wait for the official reveal event on August 27th.
Why it matters
The leak highlights the ongoing challenges of cybersecurity and intellectual property protection in the high-stakes video game development industry.
It was all the way back in 2022 that GTA 6 suffered a major leak of in-progress gameplay footage, and it looks like something similar has happened today, with a bunch of new gameplay circulating across social media in particular.
We're not going to share the footage here for obvious reasons, but the initial clip appeared to show Jason playing basketball in his backyard, while the second clip showed off some driving and combat. More clips may yet surface.
Rockstar and Take-Two seem to be issuing takedown requests on this footage, which suggests it's real.
People are already doing their own detective work on where these clips might have originated from, and while nobody seems to have come to a conclusion yet, there's a belief that the footage itself is via a 2023 build of GTA 6.
