The leaker who goes by Cyberleek is back, and this time with 24 minutes of new GTA 6 gameplay, according to Gadget Review. That's on top of the earlier leak that forced Rockstar's hand, which I covered back in August when the studio dropped 27 minutes of official gameplay onto Netflix partly to get ahead of the flood.

And Take-Two is not taking it quietly. The company has subpoenaed Microsoft, Discord, and X trying to unmask whoever is behind the account. As a legal strategy that makes sense, because those three platforms probably hold every breadcrumb between Cyberleek's Xbox account, their Discord servers, and their posting history. As a practical strategy though, it feels like trying to close the barn door while the horse is livestreaming from inside the barn.

The gameplay itself is, well, more GTA 6. If you watched the official Netflix footage, none of this will shock you, but leaks like this tend to carry the unpolished edges Rockstar would never show: debug menus, placeholder assets, lighting that hasn't been through final passes. That's the stuff I find genuinely interesting, not because it looks bad, but because it's a look at the build pipeline mid-sprint. It's the same reason developers watch GDC postmortems. You learn more from the scaffolding than from the finished facade.

The bigger question is the leak chain itself. Someone inside Rockstar, or with access to a partner build, keeps handing material to this account. Take-Two's subpoenas suggest they think the platform trail leads somewhere identifiable, and they're probably right, because almost nobody maintains perfect operational separation across three services forever. One reused gamertag and it's over.

Meanwhile Rockstar just keeps shipping marketing on its own schedule, which seems like the only winning move. The game is going to sell absurd numbers regardless of what leaks, and every takedown attempt just tells the internet exactly where to look.

I'll keep an eye on whether the subpoenas actually surface a name. My bet is they do, because leakers almost always get caught on the boring stuff, not the dramatic stuff. Nobody gets undone by the heist. They get caught on a login somewhere.
