A new wave of alleged GTA 6 gameplay footage surfaced online on Sunday, August 23, adding several previously unseen details about Rockstar Games’ upcoming open-world title. The latest videos attributed to Cyberleek appear to show Jason exploring different parts of Vice City, including nighttime driving, a gas station, aerial exploration and new open-world activities. More than 10 GTA 6 videos attributed to the source have now circulated since the leak wave began on August 18. Rockstar Games has not individually authenticated the footage, so details from these development builds should not be considered confirmation of what will appear in the final game.
One of today’s leaked videos shows Jason driving through Vice City at night and stopping at a gas station, providing another look at the game’s nighttime traffic, lighting and vehicle systems. The footage adds to previous evidence suggesting GTA 6 may feature a more involved fuel system, although exactly how refueling will function in normal gameplay remains unclear. Cyberleek once again placed messages protesting the decline of physical game releases over the footage, continuing the group’s stated campaign against digital-only practices in the gaming industry.
Another major leak provides a dramatically different perspective, apparently showing Jason piloting a stunt plane over Vice City at night. From high above the city, the footage reveals an expansive illuminated metropolitan area with highways, heavy traffic, skyscrapers, waterways, coastal development and numerous distinct districts. The nighttime flight provides one of the clearest unofficial demonstrations yet of how dense Rockstar’s version of Vice City appears to be when viewed from the air.
The aircraft footage also exposes considerably more of GTA 6’s radio interface. The development build appears to contain numerous stations spanning rock, country, reggae, classical music, hip-hop and other genres, while the interface again includes separate Radio and On Demand options. Among the songs identified in the footage are “Go Insane” by Lindsey Buckingham, “Skylarking” by Horace Andy and “Smile” by Jamiroquai. Because licensed soundtracks can change during development, none of these tracks should be treated as confirmed for GTA 6’s final soundtrack.
Perhaps the biggest discovery from today’s footage, however, is fishing. During the nighttime flight, an on-screen message identifies a location as a fishing spot for large Common Snook and instructs the player to equip a fishing rod to catch one. Previous leaked footage appeared to show a fishing rod among Jason’s available equipment, but the new notification provides much stronger evidence that Rockstar developed an actual fishing activity for GTA 6. The wording also suggests different areas of Leonida could potentially contain different species or sizes of fish.
Taken together, today’s alleged leaks continue to paint GTA 6 as an unusually detailed open world. They provide additional glimpses at vehicle mechanics, nighttime Vice City, traffic density, aircraft gameplay, radio stations, licensed music and recreational activities such as fishing. However, the footage appears to originate from development versions of the game, meaning graphics, interfaces, mechanics, music and other elements could have been modified or removed since the builds were created.
The leaks are also emerging while Take-Two Interactive intensifies efforts to identify those responsible. The company has obtained DMCA subpoenas seeking information from Microsoft and Discord connected to the distribution of GTA 6 material, with records including account and device information among the data being pursued.
The timing is especially significant because Rockstar is preparing an official GTA 6 Extended Look on August 27, meaning the unauthorized footage is appearing only days before the company’s next major presentation. Until Rockstar officially demonstrates these systems, the safest distinction remains clear: the videos can provide evidence of what existed in particular GTA 6 development builds, but they cannot guarantee that every mechanic shown will be present or function identically in the final release.
