We’re just a few weeks away from the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, and the hype surrounding the game is reaching new heights. Developer Rockstar Games has been ramping up its marketing efforts, revealing new details about the game to keep fans excited ahead of its launch. However, things have taken an unexpected turn as the infamous hacker group Cyberleek has resurfaced.

That’s right, after sharing a bunch of GTA 6 gameplay clips back in August, the group is now threatening to leak the game’s entire build before its official launch. So, what’s going on with these claims, and should you be concerned? Let’s take a closer look.

Is Cyberleek going to leak the entire GTA 6 build?

The Cyberleek group went quiet following its previous round of GTA 6 leaks in August. However, the hackers have made a comeback this week with some new gameplay footage. They’ve shared various scenes, including ones depicting Jason completely nude. However, if that wasn’t enough, the situation has now escalated.

As reported by IGN, Cyberleek has updated its website with a message claiming that it will release the complete GTA 6 build, including the story mode, if its cryptocurrency reaches a market cap of $30 million. The build is allegedly playable all the way to the end credits. Cyberleek has also claimed that it can provide footage of anything people want to see from the game to prove its claims.

There’s no denying that a leak of the complete GTA 6 build would be a massive blow to Rockstar Games. However, Cyberleek claims that Take-Two Interactive can prevent this from happening by releasing a physical disc version of the game and publicly apologizing for its actions. The group has repeatedly stated that its sole purpose in leaking GTA 6 is to protest Rockstar’s decision not to release a physical disc.

Unfortunately, the cryptocurrency being promoted by Cyberleek is well below its $30 million target. At the time of writing, its market cap stands at approximately $1.7 million. It’s unclear whether the group will follow through on its threat if the cryptocurrency fails to reach the stated milestone.

When it comes to the community, reactions to the situation are polarized. Some fans appreciate the additional gameplay footage and believe that the group has done more to hype up the game than Rockstar itself. However, many others have criticized Cyberleek, believing that the entire campaign is nothing more than a cryptocurrency scam. Some even argue that spoiling one of the most anticipated gaming releases in years just for financial gain is simply insane.

Cyberleek sets new milestones for GTA 6 leaks

While threatening to release the complete GTA 6 build, Cyberleek has also published a roadmap for sharing more gameplay footage. According to the group, each new leak will be unlocked when its promoted cryptocurrency reaches a specific market cap.

Here’s the complete list of milestones:

  1. Mini Tank: $5 million
  2. Tank: $9 million
  3. Police Shootout: $13 million
  4. Beach Massacre: $17 million
  5. Fighter Jet: $21 million
  6. Train vs. Train: $25 million

However, the planned gameplay leaks aren’t the group’s only claims. Cyberleek has also stated that the leaked GTA 6 build is approximately 200 GB in size. It’s unclear whether the final version of the game will have a similar file size.

It’s still unknown how Cyberleek managed to gain access to an allegedly playable version of GTA 6. Rockstar Games has previously addressed the leaks, but it has yet to respond to the group’s latest threats.

So, if you’re a fan of the franchise who wants to experience the game without spoilers, it might be worth being extra cautious online until GTA 6 launches on November 18, 2026.

Rounding up

The hacker group Cyberleek has resurfaced and threatened to release the complete GTA 6 build if its promoted cryptocurrency reaches a market cap of $30 million. The group has also shared additional gameplay footage, outlined new milestones for future leaks, and claimed that the game’s build is approximately 200 GB in size.

For now, these claims remain unverified, and Rockstar Games has yet to respond to the latest threats.
