GTA 6 Leaker Dumps Seventh Clip, Charges $165K for Sponsorship

Key takeaways

  • The seventh GTA 6 leak clip shows Jason Duval robbing a gas station and convenience store, crashing his car on a bridge, and entering a strip club, following the pattern of incremental reveals.
  • Cyberleeks is now monetizing the leaks by charging $165,000 in cryptocurrency for initial sponsorship meetings to advertise within future leak releases.
  • Take-Two obtained federal subpoenas for Microsoft and Discord records on August 21 to identify the leak source, but remains unable to determine who is behind the breach.

The leak campaign targeting Grand Theft Auto 6 shows no signs of slowing. A seventh gameplay clip attributed to the Cyberleeks alias has surfaced, continuing an unprecedented security breach that has captivated the gaming community and triggered a federal investigation into the source.

The Latest Footage

The newest clip, released amid an ongoing five-day leak spree, captures protagonist Jason Duval executing a series of crimes across Vice City. The sequence opens at a gas station where Jason pulls up in a deteriorating sports car and approaches the fuel pump. The interface presents two straightforward options: refuel for $32 or repair the vehicle for $2,429. With no money available, Jason opts for robbery instead, forcing the station clerk to comply at gunpoint before fleeing the scene.

Crime in Motion

The escape unfolds at high speed as SexyyRed’s “Pound Town” plays on the in-game radio. Jason proceeds to a convenience store where he commits another robbery, drawing a weapon on the clerk who demands, “Put the weapon away, I won’t say it again.” The exchange captures the game’s signature dialogue, with an unnamed customer in the store delivering his protest with audible nonchalance: “Come on, man, let me go on my merry f*cking way.”

Bridge Crash and Cinematic Moments

The clip’s most visually striking sequence occurs as Jason races across a bridge and collides head-on with a flatbed truck. The game transitions into a cinematic slow-motion sequence capturing the impact, with Jason’s vehicle executing a complete 360-degree spin before the action returns to normal gameplay speed. The car remains operational despite the collision, allowing Jason to continue driving.

Strip Club Preview

The footage concludes with a hard cut to Jason entering a strip club at night. The clip ends immediately as he encounters a “live nudes” sign, stopping short of showing the interior. Observers have speculated that the next leak from Cyberleeks will provide extended footage from inside the establishment, following the pattern of incremental reveals that has defined the leak campaign.

Monetizing the Breach

Beyond simply distributing gameplay footage, Cyberleeks has begun establishing a business operation around the leaks. The alias has added a sponsorship section to its website offering brands an opportunity to advertise within upcoming leak releases. The asking price for an initial meeting carries no commitment but requires a payment of approximately $165,000 in cryptocurrency.

The sponsorship offer explicitly welcomes a range of content categories. According to the website’s description, “You can advertise almost anything. Gambling and adult content are fine. No scams.” The allowance for gambling and adult-oriented advertising marks a notable shift in how leaked content is being treated, transforming what began as a security incident into a media channel with defined commercial terms.

The Investigation Accelerates

Legal Actions and Subpoenas

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has moved aggressively to identify the source of the leaks. On August 21, a federal court granted subpoenas allowing the company to obtain records from both Microsoft and Discord in hopes of tracing the origin of the security breach. Despite these efforts, Take-Two and Rockstar Games remain without definitive knowledge of who orchestrated the leak, according to reporting from Bloomberg.

The investigation has characterized the effort as an “all hands on deck” response from both companies, reflecting the severity and scope of the breach. Multiple gameplay clips continue circulating online despite the implementation of strict security protocols designed to prevent such information from reaching the public.

Netflix Proceeds with Plans

Netflix has chosen not to alter its scheduled programming despite the circumstances surrounding the leaks. The streaming service has maintained its plan to broadcast an “exclusive” extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 on August 27, proceeding as originally announced. Netflix has also released a teaser for the upcoming reveal without addressing the unauthorized footage circulating online, choosing to treat its presentation as a distinct, official event.

Rockstar’s Public Silence

Rockstar Games has not issued any public statements on social media since the leak campaign began. The studio’s decision to remain silent stands in contrast to the public responses from other industry figures and companies monitoring the situation. This absence of comment extends to the sponsorship scheme and monetization efforts being conducted by Cyberleeks, leaving Rockstar’s official position on these developments unclear.

Support From Industry Partners

Xbox leadership has publicly signaled solidarity with the companies affected by the breach. Scott Van Vliet, Chief Technology Officer of Xbox, posted on social media platform X: “We are working closely with Take-Two and Rockstar Games to support efforts to protect creative works and intellectual property.” The statement reflects broader industry concern about the integrity of unreleased game content and intellectual property protection standards.

Timeline and Scale of the Breach

The leak campaign has unfolded across five days with multiple releases, each providing new angles on the game’s mechanics and environments. The progression from basic gameplay to more detailed sequences—from gas station robberies to cinematic slow-motion moments to location previews—suggests a deliberate strategy to maintain engagement and attention throughout the leak period. The decision to introduce monetization through sponsorships indicates the leaker’s expectation that the campaign will continue and potentially expand.

What Comes Next

The scheduled Netflix presentation on August 27 will provide the first official, curated look at Grand Theft Auto 6 footage selected and approved by Rockstar Games. This timing occurs while the unauthorized leaks continue to dominate online gaming communities and generate speculation about the game’s mechanics, story, and environments. The contrast between Rockstar’s controlled reveal and the ongoing leak campaign presents an unusual situation where the official announcement must compete for attention with unvetted, often incomplete footage already in circulation.

The investigation into the breach’s origin remains ongoing, with federal involvement and cross-platform cooperation from technology companies. Until the source is identified and addressed, similar releases may continue. The precedent being set—where leaked content can be monetized through sponsorships and generate sustained media attention—could influence how future security breaches are handled within the industry.
