An anonymous video game leaker known as Cyberleek has published unauthorized footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 and threatened to release a playable build of the title, according to reports from Kotaku, Polygon, and Eurogamer. Kotaku and Polygon reported that the user is attempting to promote a cryptocurrency meme coin, claiming a build will be released if the coin reaches a 30 million dollar market cap. [1][2][3][4]

Eurogamer reported that the newly posted five-minute video shows gameplay of the character Lucia in Leonida, including an ATM mugging, hand-to-hand combat, and a naked parachute jump. Eurogamer added that the clip was shared on ResetEra shortly after a previous 25-minute video featuring the character Jason. Kotaku noted that the leaked footage also depicts driving around the city and interacting with mini-games. [1][3]

Polygon reported that the leaker previously posted unauthorized footage over recent months and is now issuing threats to release the development build prior to the scheduled November launch. Polygon and Eurogamer both confirmed that these threats follow a series of new gameplay leaks released online over the past week. [2][3][4]

In separate coverage, Engadget reported that Sony is currently struggling to satisfy hardware demand for the PlayStation 5 Pro ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. Additionally, Polygon noted that the upcoming title has sparked industry controversy regarding its inclusion of nudity and sex scenes. [5][6]
