GTA 6 Gameplay and Map Leak Online
Listen to the story
Footage and a map from the highly anticipated video game GTA 6 have leaked online ahead of the game's official release. The material appears to show unofficial gameplay, meaning video of the game being played, and a map of the game's world.
This leak comes shortly before the developer's planned reveal of the game, which reports say may happen through a Netflix event. Fans and industry watchers have noticed strong similarities between the leaked footage and previously known details, which has increased confidence that the material is genuine.
Because the footage was shared without permission, the studio behind GTA 6 has responded with DMCA notices. A DMCA notice is a legal request asking websites and platforms to take down content that uses someone else's copyrighted material without permission. Several websites have already removed leaked clips as a result.
According to reports, a specific group is believed to be responsible for spreading the leaked material. This group is reported to have made threats against the studio, though full details of these threats have not been confirmed publicly.
This is not the first time GTA 6 has faced leaks before its release. The game has been one of the most talked-about upcoming titles for years, and any new information tends to spread quickly online. As anticipation builds toward an official reveal, unauthorized leaks like this one are likely to keep drawing major attention from both fans and news outlets covering the gaming industry.
