[UPDATE] The GTA 6 Leaker Is Now Flying Planes Over Vice City to Prove a Point

Straight up: none of this is official, and Rockstar hasn't said a word. What follows is leaked material from the group calling itself CyberLeek, and the smart move is to weigh it, not swallow it.

The latest drop, first shown on the leaker's own site and picked up by Kotaku, Insider Gaming and Forbes' Brian Mazique, is a roughly two-minute clip of a crop-dusting biplane flying out over the edges of Vice City and then across it. Dense skyscrapers, busy roads, traffic ticking along below. At the end it cuts to the protagonist shooting a wall, with the bullet holes spelling out "LEEK."

Why people think it's real

That ending is the whole point. Spelling a word in bullets isn't something you pull from a pre-rendered clip you happened to nab. It reads as someone driving a playable build, which is a step up from the earlier leaks that were just loose footage. Insider Gaming framed it as CyberLeek "proving" they have build access, and this is the fifth GTA 6 leak to land in August alone.

Worth keeping your guard up, though. Notebookcheck flagged an earlier batch as an AI hoax, and a couple of the flyover shots look uncannily close to Microsoft Flight Simulator at a glance. Build access or not, footage this compressed and this out-of-context is easy to over-read.

The grim bit

Here's what actually turns the stomach. CyberLeek is running community polls on its site to decide what to leak next, and votes are cast with a promoted memecoin. So stolen material from a game people have waited a decade for is now a monetised engagement funnel. That's not a fun leak. That's someone building a business on Rockstar's stolen homework, and it's worth naming as such rather than cheering it on.

The counter-programming arrives Thursday 27 August, when Rockstar drops GTA VI: An Extended Look, 30 minutes, on Netflix first. That's the footage worth waiting for. This is the footage worth being wary of.
