GTA 6 Gameplay Leak Shows Taser Combat, Car Theft Options and Story Cutscene

A new GTA 6 gameplay leak has surfaced, just a day after the first footage appeared online. Posted by the leaker CyberLeek and known as the “Taser video”, the clip runs about two minutes — the longest look yet — and shows several systems the August 18 clips didn’t. Rockstar and Take-Two still haven’t commented, and copies keep getting pulled offline over copyright claims.

The video opens with Jason Duval driving a beat-up car through Leonida at night. He clips another car while turning, and Insider Gaming noted the damage looked light next to GTA 5. It’s a small detail, but this is the kind of thing fans study closely.

The radio hints at how new the GTA 6 gameplay leak is

This is the part people are most excited about. Tate McRae’s “Sports Car” plays on the in-game radio, and that song only came out in January 2025. If it’s really part of the footage, the build can’t be older than that. So this GTA 6 gameplay leak could be the newest look at the game so far, maybe around 20 months old at most. Insider Gaming called it a clue, not proof, which is fair. The song tells us the earliest the footage could be from, not when Rockstar actually recorded it.

Two ways to steal a car

The most interesting moment comes when Jason walks up to a parked car. Instead of just smashing in, he gets two options: “Clone Key” and “Smash Window.” Clone Key is greyed out, which suggests you might need a certain tool or skill to use it. For a series built on stealing cars, that’s a real change. You may be able to steal a car quietly instead of breaking a window and setting off an alarm. There’s no proof of a full lock-picking system yet, so don’t read too much into one greyed-out button.

Taser combat, a finisher and a truck

Jason drives into an industrial area, an Allied Crystal site in a place called Ambrosia, and gets into a fight with security. The guards don’t shoot right away. They seem to be trying to arrest him, and Jason even gets a “Surrender” option at one point. He takes a guard’s taser and uses it, then ends the fight with a slow-motion move like the ones in Red Dead Redemption 2. He also picks up a guard’s hat and wears it. The scene ramps up when he steals an Allied Crystal truck and drives off, with fuel and vehicle-damage icons on screen again — the same ones from the first leak.

The GTA 6 gameplay leak ends with a story cutscene

Then the footage jumps to daytime. Jason is on a boat with another character, both holding drinks, in what looks like a real story scene. Several outlets say the other character is Cal Hampton, who Rockstar has already confirmed. Much of the talk has been about one line where he says a VPN keeps him safe, which many people read as CyberLeek taking a shot at Rockstar. That’s the bigger worry now: the leaks aren’t just showing gameplay, they’re starting to show story.

Rockstar still hasn’t confirmed the leak

CyberLeek says it’s doing this to protest all-digital game releases and “fake” single-player DLC. But it’s also promoting a crypto coin at the same time, which has led many people to call it a money grab dressed up as a cause. Take-Two keeps pulling the videos down, which is the clearest sign the footage is real. It’s still a work-in-progress build, though, so anything could change before launch.

This new GTA 6 gameplay leak lands just before Rockstar’s official reveal. The Extended Look airs August 27 on Netflix, and GTA 6 comes out November 19 on PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
