GTA 6 Leaks

What happened, what's fake, and how to stay safe. Spoiler-free: no leaked videos, no screenshots, no links, no downloads. Updated 15 October 2026.

The short version

  • GTA VI has leaked several times since 2022, and Rockstar has asked fans to wait and play it themselves.
  • Nobody outside Rockstar can sell you the game early. Every "GTA 6 download", "beta" or "early access" link is a scam.
  • Coins and paid files tied to the leaks are a way to take your money, not a way to get the game.
  • We never show or link leaked material. For everything Rockstar has really announced, see our GTA 6 News.

01What happened

  1. A Message from Rockstar Games, September 2022

    The hack

    A hacker broke into Rockstar's internal systems and posted more than 90 early development clips. Rockstar said the footage had been illegally taken and that work on the game would carry on as planned. The hacker, a member of the Lapsus$ group, was arrested within weeks; in December 2023 a UK court gave him an indefinite hospital order.

    Trailer 1, a day early

    The first trailer slipped out the day before its premiere, so Rockstar released it that same evening.

  3. Rockstar Games' letter to players about the leaks, August 2026

    The CyberLeek clips begin

    An anonymous leaker calling itself CyberLeek began posting gameplay clips, each one tied to a crypto coin. Rockstar called the leaks heartbreaking for its team, said the game is nearly finished, and asked players to wait to experience it themselves.

    More clips, and a threat

    More clips, paid "contact fees" and paid files, and a threat to release the whole game if the coin reaches a price target. No full game has appeared, and none of the claims about a complete build have been proven. Rockstar and Take-Two asked a US federal court to subpoena X, Google, Microsoft and Discord to identify the leaker, and YouTube has removed leaked videos.

02Scams to avoid

  • "GTA 6 download", "beta" or "early access" sites — malware, or a trick to steal your accounts.
  • Password-locked zip files — antivirus can't look inside them; they're a favourite way to hide malware or sell you nothing.
  • Crypto coins tied to the leaks — they rise and crash fast, and the people who buy last lose their money.
  • "Free GTA 6" giveaways that ask for your login — PlayStation, Xbox or Rockstar accounts get stolen this way.

The real way: pre-order on the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store or from Rockstar. Digital pre-orders can preload from 12 November, and the game unlocks on 19 November.

03Why we don't show leaks

  • GTA VI is years of work by thousands of people. They deserve to show it their way.
  • Leaks spoil the story — for you and for everyone in chat.
  • It's Rockstar's property: leaked material gets taken down, and channels that post it get strikes.
  • It's only weeks to go. We count down every night, live, until it's here.
