The Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker is alive and well, as a new report yesterday indicates that Take-Two and Rockstar still do not know who is behind the leak nor how it happened in the first place. The publisher is now subpoenaing Microsoft and Discord to try to get information to track the leaker down, but here on Saturday morning, the 7th footage release from Cyberleek is live. And things are certainly progressing.
The new clip has more typical Grand Theft Auto tomfoolery, showing in GTA 6 you can, of course, rob stores. Here, Jason robs two gas stations as the police ramp up pursuit. At one point, he gets into a car crash so severe the camera shifts into slow motion.
However, the end of the clip shows Jason walking through the doors of a strip club, ending the video before anything inside is really seen. And, if you were paying attention, you would have seen a “$3 million market cap = strip club” watermark on all the just-released footage. This references what Cyberleek has been hawking this entire time, a meme coin meant to enrich the leaker over the course of this saga. They have also run paid polls on their site about what should be released next. They are not exactly painting a picture of themselves as a freedom fighter striking against the erasure of physical discs at this point.
Strip clubs in Grand Theft Auto games are sort of sacrosanct institutions for players, where decades ago, players could hardly believe something so scandalous could exist in a mainstream game. While not quite as revolutionary these days, millions of players are certainly curious to see what a GTA 6 strip club will look like in-game and just how MA-rated it may get. Unlike most of the other footage, it is almost certainly something that is not going to be shown in next week’s Netflix gameplay special.

As for this idea of pumping up his crypto coin to a $3 million market cap, as it stands, the coin seems to be at $1.5 million, so it would need to double. In 24 hours, the trading volume has been $1.4 million, meaning as scammy as this all seems, the audience is clearly interacting with it as these leaks rack up millions upon millions of views, multiplying even after takedown attempts. The risk of a potential rug pull here is blindingly obvious.
The biggest threat to GTA 6 right now remains story spoilers, something these leaks have avoided so far, but obviously Rockstar wants absolutely none of this out there. The strip club, as silly as it may sound, is a big deal to leak for the GTA 6 playerbase. That may be next, it may not, but that’s the point, no one, including Rockstar and Take-Two, knows what’s going to show up with each new drop.
