The crypto-peddling hacker group who leaked footage of GTA 6 earlier this week appear to have access to a playable build of Rockstar's open world game.

    saw the videos. hah, it’s pretty much the entire build.

    the interesting thing is I don’t know if the dude is playing on a PC or a PS5 dev box cause it’s locked at like 30fps so…and if the guy has a PS5 dev box that raises even more questions.

      That would be pretty funny if a PC version was fully leaked before even the console version came out.

      Either way it sounds like cyberleek has a pretty good connection into rockstar to be able to get this.

        Could also be part of a marketing campaign, the shock value captures headlines and boom.

        Take two lost control of a single copy, someone is leaking everything. Lmao look at those fools.

        Lmfao, thanks for the advertisement space

        Edit: nevermind, this is not something marketing would collaborate with. It would be too degenerate

    this whole project seems smoldering due to rockstar fuckups. is there a pool on when it turns into a full-blown dumpster fire?

    Amazing. This is hilariously good work. Other than the obvious this will in no way affect sales and it will still make an absolute killing.

      It probably just feeds the hype a little more.

      To the best of my knowledge, the build itself has not been posted anywhere.

      However its not like i know or frequent every existing darknet site or clearnet spot people like this might be on.

      The videos that are being ‘leaked’ appear to only be possible to… produce, if one has an actual build of the game.

      So, somebody has it, they have yet to share it.

      Given that they keep promoting crypto, my bet would be if they do ‘release’ it, it’ll be in exchange for some kind of crypto payment.

      Which means you have literally no guarantee you’re not being scammed, and given the we’ve already seen many AI gen fake videos claiming to be ‘legit’ vids from this build out in the wild… if the group that has the build says ‘pay me crypto for link’, copycat scammers will follow.

      Edit:

      Fuck, honestly?

      I would not put it past Rockstar for this to all be an ARG style marketing stunt.
