GTA VI leak: CYBERLEEK demands an apology from Rockstar
New GTA VI footage leaked today, reportedly including the full map. The name being linked to the leak is CYBERLEEK, whose manifesto demands an apology from Rockstar while it raises money through a crypto coin.
Another GTA VI leak is spreading across the internet today. It started with a video that allegedly shows Jason playing basketball. Then came more videos, reports of an honor system and finally what is claimed to be the full map. Nothing has been officially confirmed, and neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has said a word.
Social media points to a source called CYBERLEEK. Insider Gaming thinks it's a single person but admits that isn't confirmed. PC Gamer says it's unclear whether the name belongs to a group or one person.
The manifesto
The leak came with a manifesto called the "CYBERLEEK Edict", which lays down three commandments:
- Thou shalt not sell digital preorders.
- Thou shalt not sell fake single-player DLC.
- Thou shalt preserve single-player content.
According to the text, CYBERLEEK "will not stop until they issue a public statement and apology with a concrete commitment to be better. Words are not enough; restitution is mandatory." There will be "No private negotiations. No quiet settlements." Other publishers get a warning too: "If CYBERLEEK can reach Rockstar, no one is safe. This is a message to all big corpo: behave, or be the next target."
What exactly Rockstar should apologize for is Insider Gaming's reading, not something the manifesto spells out: things like content locked behind the Ultimate Edition and GTA VI digital pre-orders. Ubisoft's The Crew, which vanished when its servers shut down, is held up as the example of why games need preserving. GamesRadar+ called the whole thing an "unhinged version of Stop Killing Games".
The crypto smell
And here's the suspicious part. CYBERLEEK says it is "raising funds for a secret project", apparently through a meme coin on the Solana crypto platform. The leaked map images carry a call to buy it, while the manifesto insists "this is not a cash grab". The money will supposedly fund "the infrastructure needed to strike" and protection against "corporate counterattacks". Make of that what you will. Personally, I'm saving my wallet for the release.
Rockstar and Take-Two are staying quiet, and PC Gamer has asked both for comment. Behind the scenes, though, copyright strikes are already flying: GamesRadar+ reports that Take-Two has started sending DMCA takedowns. PC Gamer sees that as a strong sign the footage is real.
All of this lands roughly three months before the console release, with a big Netflix reveal coming next week. We're curious whether Rockstar breaks its silence before then.
