Group behind GTA 6 leaks threatens to release alleged full build of game including story mode

Warning reportedly states "Take-Two gets one way out: physical disks and a public apology"

The group responsible for the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks has reportedly threatened to release a full build of the game, including its full story mode and end credits.

As IGN reports, the group known as 'CyberLeek' stated it will leak the build if its memecoin's market cap reaches $30 million.

CyberLeek's market cap started at $3.8 million and increased to $5.7 million after the warning was reported on social media.

"Take-Two gets one way out: physical disks and a public apology," the alleged warning said. "They can take it at any moment. Or they can gamble that CL is bluffing. Everyone knows which one they'll pick."

The warning came after another leak that included 24 minutes of gameplay, cutscenes, story details, and a first-person camera mode.

One week before Rockstar released its extended gameplay teaser on Netflix, the group shared leaked footage and threatened to release additional videos unless Rockstar changed its all-digital launch strategy.

The origin and content of the build obtained by the group remain unclear. CyberLeek also threatened other publishers, stating: "If CyberLeek can reach Rockstar, no one is safe."

Take-Two swiftly filed subpoenas against Microsoft, Discord, and X to "obtain the identity of an alleged infringer or infringers, and that such information will only be used for the purpose of protecting Take-Two's rights."

One of the filings included a copy of a take-down request issued to Discord, which stated that a post contained "unauthorised, leaked gameplay footage from the unreleased Grand Theft Auto 6."

"The content is presented as genuine leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay from Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and its distribution constitutes unauthorised reproduction and public disclosure of our Client's copyrighted work."

In response to the leaks, Rockstar said it was "obviously not how [it] intended for [players] to see the game after all this time."

"It would be an understatement to say [that this] has been heartbreaking for our team," the developer continued.

"While it is unfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers, we hope that everyone will wait a bit longer to experience the game for themselves on November 19."
