Recent GTA 6 Leak Might Be Related to Rockstar India Being Hacked

In a week, Netflix will premiere Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look—the official reveal of the most anticipated game of 2026. However, thanks to the hacker Cyberleek, players have already seen several gameplay clips from GTA 6, and the most recent one shows a plane flying over Vice City during the day. It’s still unclear how he managed to gain access to the game files, but recent rumors suggest it may be linked to one of Rockstar Games’ divisions.

There is active discussion on Reddit suggesting that a massive GTA 6 leak may be linked to a cyberattack on a Rockstar India employee; it is reported that his data was accessed, after which the hackers gained access to an early version of the game. It is claimed that russian hackers may have been behind the attack and that after the leak, another person in India may have sold the leaked GTA 6 files to Cyberleek for $50 million. At this point, these are just rumors, but it cannot be ruled out that this scenario is indeed plausible.

A new rumor claims the GTA 6 leak may be connected to Rockstar India.

According to the claims, a Rockstar India employee was hacked, with the GTA VI development build possibly being stolen from them.

The same rumor claims Russian hackers were behind the attack and that someone in India later sold the build to CYBERLEEK for around $50 million.

CYBERLEEK appears to have extensive access to GTA VI

Additionally, the first speculations about who might be hiding behind the username Cyberleek have recently surfaced. It is claimed that the individual is a German citizen and is about 35 years old. Meanwhile, he has been engaged in hacking activities since 2018, as noted in archived data from the Szenebox website. Recently, he also addressed Rockstar directly, claiming that a 13-minute gameplay video would be leaked—the same one the studio plans to reveal on August 27 on Netflix (Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look presentation).
