Recently leaked footage of GTA 6 reveals Jason shooting basketball and creating havoc on the streets.

      Footage from Grand Theft Auto VI has leaked online just under two weeks before Rockstar Games is set to unveil more about the highly awaited game, showcasing minor but potentially significant alterations to gameplay.

      The two clips, each lasting slightly over a minute, reportedly depict protagonist Jason engaged in basketball and driving a modified Vapid Ganado pickup truck. The videos seem to originate from an incomplete version, and the initial uploads were swiftly taken down due to copyright claims. Additionally, the leaked clips allegedly featured cryptocurrency advertisements and QR codes, complicating efforts to verify their authenticity. Initially identified on Reddit, the leaked footage was promptly removed by Reddit's legal team.

      GTA 6 leak suggests a more interactive environment

      The basketball scene might provide intriguing insights into Rockstar's direction for GTA 6. After Jason scores a basket, a "Focus" stat appears on the screen, indicating that leisure activities could have gameplay effects beyond merely offering players diversions between missions.

      The second clip offers a quick glimpse of driving. Jason is seen driving a heavily customized 1970 Vapid Ganado, reminiscent of a classic Chevrolet El Camino pickup. In this sequence, a mail truck collides with Jason's vehicle and repeatedly attempts to ram into him before the driver eventually pulls over to confront Jason.

      After Jason triumphs in the encounter, a small devil-like icon appears, possibly suggesting a reputation or honor system. The footage also includes prompts for changing Jason’s equipment and displays small vehicle-related symbols on the mini-map when he resumes driving.

      These features hint at a potentially more immersive gameplay experience, though the limited footage does not definitively indicate a major shift in direction. The second clip was shared by a group named Cyberleek, which—despite revealing intriguing details—urges viewers to visit their website, something we do not endorse, preferring to wait for Rockstar's main reveal later this month.

      Rockstar still has much to reveal

      The timing of the leak is particularly inconvenient for Rockstar, as the studio is reportedly gearing up for an "extended look" at GTA VI through Netflix in just nine days, making an official showcase imminent. Thus, the leaked content provides only a brief, low-quality view of a game that Rockstar still has the chance to present thoroughly.

      It’s possible that the footage is outdated. Some analysts suggest the clips may date back to 2023, which could mean that the final game may look significantly improved compared to what is shown in the leaks. Rockstar’s official presentation is anticipated to showcase a much clearer version of the game.

      For players, the most captivating aspects extend beyond a few moments of basketball or driving. Elements like Focus, equipment management, and potential reputation mechanics could suggest that Rockstar is adding more layers of interaction to Leonida.

      However, until the official reveal occurs, these conclusions remain speculative. A two-minute leak might reveal what Rockstar was experimenting with, but it does not provide insight into what will ultimately be included in the final game.
