GTA 6 "Leak": Cyberleek Group Shares Footage. But Is It Really About the Game, or the Money?

A group calling itself Cyberleek says it has pulled off one of the biggest leaks to hit Rockstar Games since 2022. They claim to have shared gameplay clips and a map from an unfinished, unreleased version of GTA 6. But the more people look into it, the more it seems the leak itself isn't the real point. The bigger story might be a cryptocurrency coin tied to it all.

Along with clips of shooting and driving, the group posted footage of a plane in flight, and the flying looked smooth and detailed, almost like a real flight simulator. The video also showed off parts of the in-game map. People who study these leaks closely believe the footage is real, since it matches the style of actual Rockstar development footage. Most gaming news sites agree it looks genuine. But one well-known leaker, NateTheHate, thinks the footage is old, probably filmed back in 2024, more than a year before this whole story broke.

Here's the catch: every single leaked video came with a QR code and a link pointing to a coin called $CYBERLEEK. Cyberleek also posted a long message defending the leak, framing it as a stand against unfair industry practices, like pre-orders where buyers get nothing extra for paying early. They even ran a vote where people used the coin to choose what got leaked next, and footage of the plane was one of the options.

On the day the leak dropped, the coin reportedly saw $11.8 million worth of trading in a single day. But there's a big red flag: records show the coin already existed before the leak happened. That's led many people to suspect the leak wasn't really the main event, it may have just been a clever way to promote the coin.

Rockstar did confirm a real cyberattack happened back in 2022, which is how footage from that year ended up online. But nobody has officially confirmed whether this new 2026 leak from Cyberleek is real, or where it actually came from. Take-Two has filed takedown requests to get the videos removed, but hasn't said anything publicly about the claims themselves.

Not everything floating around online about this leak can be trusted. One account was caught sharing fake, AI-made images pretending to be new leaks, then deleted them. If you come across a video claiming to be part of this story, it's worth double-checking that it actually came from Cyberleek before believing it's the real deal.
