Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is set to premiere officially on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET Thursday, but the gaming community has already gotten an extensive preview through unauthorized channels. An entity known as Cyberleek has been distributing gameplay footage throughout the week, prompting Rockstar to publicly validate the authenticity of the leaked materials on Wednesday—an unusual move for the typically protective company.
The leaked content has provided players with glimpses of various game elements ahead of the official reveal. Footage has surfaced showing protagonist Jason engaging in different activities, including exploring a strip club, cycling along a densely populated beach, visiting a video game retail store, and participating in a police pursuit in a stolen vehicle. Additional leaked material features the game’s other main character, Lucia, in what appears to be opening story sequences depicting her release from prison, spanning nearly five minutes of cutscenes.
As of Thursday morning, no new leaks from Cyberleek have emerged, suggesting the pace of unauthorized releases may be slowing. The most recent footage appears to be the extended Lucia prologue sequence that circulated through Wednesday evening. Whether additional material surfaces following Netflix’s official gameplay presentation remains uncertain, though the volume of leaks appears to have diminished considerably since the week’s peak activity.
