Recent GTA 6 Leak Confirmed It Will Feature 6-Star Wanted Level and Need to Refuel Cars

The biggest news of the past few hours has been a major leak regarding GTA 6. A hacker known as CyberLeek has released the first gameplay footage of the most anticipated game of 2026 and also revealed the game’s official map. Incidentally, Rockstar Games and Take-Two have already begun actively removing the leaked material, which serves as confirmation of its authenticity.

Although most of the details have already been removed, users managed to capture various details that are of some interest. For instance, one of the gameplay videos revealed that the game will once again feature a six-star wanted system. In addition, cars in GTA 6 will need to be refueled regularly, and their parts—including the engine and body—may gradually lose their performance characteristics. The game is also expected to feature five counties —Mariana County, Vice Dale County, Kelly County, Leonard County, and Lummox County—each of which includes vast areas, its own landmarks, and more.

NEW GTA6 DETAILS:

• You’ll need to fill up your car with gas and keep an eye on its mechanical condition
• A six-star wanted level—cops remember what you’re wearing and what car you’re driving;
• An interactive trunk
• There may be an honor system

To recap, in the very first leaked video, we see Jason throwing a basketball into a hoop near his house. The second clip, on the other hand, showcases vehicle physics, NPC encounters, and how the police react when local residents are being beaten up. It was also revealed there that when players commit evil deeds, they’re subject to something similar to the low honor system from Red Dead Redemption 2, and the police now remember your appearance and the make of your car.

It's interesting to note that this leak occurred shortly before Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look—the upcoming presentation of the game, which will take place on Netflix on August 27. You can also check out how and when to watch this major event.

For now, you can also find out everything we know about GTA 6 so far—the story, gameplay, map, open world, platforms, and more - as well as how GTA 6 is reshaping the 2026 game calendar and everything about GTA 6 pre-order details: price, bonuses, exact time, and Ultimate Edition.

Grand Theft Auto VI will release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
