CyberLeek Threatens GTA 6 Build Leak Over Demands
CyberLeek, the group behind recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, has threatened to release an alleged full build of the game with the complete story mode and end credits if conditions tied to its campaign are met, while Take-Two Interactive pursues legal steps over unauthorized footage.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, CyberLeek claimed the release would happen if its memecoin reached a $30 million market capitalization. The reported figure rose from $3.8 million to $5.7 million after the warning spread online.
The group’s alleged warning targeted Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of GTA 6.
"Take-Two gets one way out: physical disks and a public apology" said CyberLeek, the leak group.
CyberLeek also described a condition for the alleged release of the build.
"They can take it at any moment. Or they can risk that CL is bluffing. Everyone knows which one they’ll pick." said CyberLeek, the leak group.
The group also issued broader warnings after releasing earlier leaked material containing gameplay footage, cutscenes, story details, and a first-person camera mode.
"If CyberLeek can reach Rockstar, no one is safe." said CyberLeek, the leak group.
Take-Two filed subpoenas against Microsoft, Discord, and X to identify alleged infringers and protect its rights over copyrighted material.
"obtain the identity of an alleged infringer or infringers, and that such information will only be used for the purpose of protecting Take-Two's rights." said Take-Two Interactive, the publisher.
The publisher’s legal filings included a takedown request sent to Discord regarding leaked GTA 6 gameplay footage.
"unauthorised, leaked gameplay footage from the unreleased Grand Theft Auto 6." said Take-Two Interactive, the publisher.
"The content is presented as genuine leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay from Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and its distribution constitutes unauthorised reproduction and public disclosure of our Client's copyrighted work." said Take-Two Interactive, the publisher.
Rockstar Games addressed the leaks and said the situation affected its development team after years of work on the title.
"obviously not how [it] intended for [players] to see the game after all this time." said Rockstar Games, the developer.
Rockstar Games described the impact of the leaks on its team.
"It would be an understatement to say [that this] has been heartbreaking for our team" said Rockstar Games, the developer.
The studio also asked players to wait for the official release rather than rely on leaked material.
"While it is unfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers, we hope that everyone will wait a bit longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19." said Rockstar Games, the developer.
The Yahoo report noted that CyberLeek’s message was titled "The Offer" and included a reference to its target level.
"30 million marketcap" was referenced by CyberLeek, the leak group.
Another reported demand involved leaked material described by the group using the phrase "4K closeups, fully naked" regarding the character Lucia.
"4K closeups, fully naked" was referenced by CyberLeek, the leak group.
The Yahoo report also described Rockstar’s reaction using the word "heartbreaking" for the development team’s response.
"heartbreaking" was used by Rockstar Games, the developer.
Grand Theft Auto 6 remains scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, according to the reports, while the origin and contents of the alleged full build have not been independently confirmed.
