In a big leak that happened earlier today, What’s alleged as the first footage for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has apparently leaked, and there’s tons of it along with screenshots too.
A GTAForums user named teapotuberhacker has uploaded a zip file that lists screenshots and videos taking a look at early development from Grand Theft Auto 6. It shows a female protagonist, which is in line with a rumor that surfaced in July via the ever-reliable Jason Schreier.
GTA 6 Footage Leak:
Speaking of which, Schreier has acknowledged that the footage that has leaked is likely to be the real deal.
I just woke up and haven’t asked anyone yet but based on the scale hard to imagine it’s not real. Plus two protagonists and Vice City match what I reported earlier this year

Apparently, this massive GTA 6 leak was obtained via the Rockstar Games Slack, which was the same way the Uber hack that happened a few days ago. You can even hear some Slack message notifications going off in some of the footage.
Same as with any other leak, treat this one with a grain of salt. That said, this does seem like the real deal. That said, go check it out, as these will most likely be taken down by Rockstar’s legal hounds ASAP.
We have reached out to Rockstar to seek further clarification on the authenticity of this massive leak, and will update the story if we get a response.
Update: Jason Schreier has mentioned that he has confirmed with Rockstar sources that this GTA 6 leak is legit. I gather, this is the most official confirmation we’ll get until Rockstar issues a proper statement this coming week.
Not that there was much doubt, but I’ve confirmed with Rockstar sources that this weekend’s massive Grand Theft Auto VI leak is indeed real. The footage is early and unfinished, of course. This is one of the biggest leaks in video game history and a nightmare for Rockstar Games
