- GTA 6 appears to have suffered yet another significant leak after what looks like legitimate gameplay videos and an image of the full map appeared online.
- Two videos showing GTA 6 gameplay have emerged: one featuring protagonist Jason playing basketball outside his home, the other showing Jason driving a car and attacking an NPC.
- An image reportedly of the complete map has also hit the internet.
- The authenticity of the gameplay and map image remains unconfirmed, but it appears that Rockstar and parent company Take-Two are working to remove video uploads from across social media.
- GTA 6 has suffered a number of leaks over the years.
- In 2022, more than 90 videos and images from an early version of GTA 6 were leaked online by hackers in what was one of gaming's biggest security breaches.
- GTA 6 is due out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on November 19, 2026.
- The publisher has been hitting people who are sharing two minute-long gameplay clips and a screenshot of the Florida-inspired map with DMCA takedown notices.
- Let's start with the map of Leonida, which looks like a distorted, compact version of south Florida.
- As with GTA V, it features a large city (Rockstar's version of Miami this time).
- There are many, many large and small islands dotted across the map, with a group that looks like the Florida keys in the south.
- One clip shows Jason, one of the game's dual protagonists, at a waterside home.
- After he scores with his first attempt, he gets a focus stat boost, which suggests GTA VI will lean into RPG mechanics.
- The second clip has more action, earning Jason a two-star wanted level.
- A devil icon with a minus sign appears on the right of the screen, indicating there's an honor/karma system, like in the Red Dead Redemption series.
- The clip, which also features a GTA V-esque minimap, ends just as Jason approaches an air ambulance.
- It's worth treating the clips and map with some skepticism, since they may not be entirely legitimate.
- Grand Theft Auto VI will hit PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Leaked gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 has surfaced online, showcasing two clips featuring protagonist Jason in various activities, including basketball and car chases. An image of the game's map, resembling a compact version of south Florida, has also been shared, although its authenticity is still in question.2
The first clip depicts Jason scoring a basketball shot, which boosts his focus stat, hinting at RPG mechanics in the game. The second clip shows him driving and attacking an NPC, resulting in a two-star wanted level. A new honor/karma system, similar to that in the Red Dead Redemption series, is suggested by the appearance of a devil icon on the screen.1415
Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, are actively working to remove these leaks from social media platforms, issuing DMCA takedown notices to users sharing the clips. This incident follows a significant breach in 2022, where over 90 videos and images of an early version of GTA 6 were leaked online.14567
Despite the excitement surrounding these leaks, fans are advised to approach the clips and map with skepticism, as their legitimacy remains unverified. The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.18
