Rockstar Games is facing another apparent leak ahead of its next official look at Grand Theft Auto VI. Engadget reports that two legitimate-looking minute-long gameplay clips and a screenshot of the game’s world map are circulating online, while Rockstar is reportedly sending DMCA takedown notices to people sharing them. The report is not an official confirmation of the game’s features. Engadget says it reviewed the materials but does not share them or direct readers to them. The outlet frames the footage as “legitimate-looking,” which matters: until Rockstar shows the same systems or confirms them, the clips are best treated as a credible preview of possible mechanics rather than a finalized feature list. The leaked map image, according to Engadget, is labeled Leonida and resembles a compressed, distorted version of South Florida. The outlet describes a large city on the eastern side that appears to be Rockstar’s version of Miami, with more greenspace to the west and north. The map also reportedly includes many islands, a Keys-like cluster to the south, and markers including a home icon, cars, a masked face and an alligator. One of the clips centers on Jason, one of GTA 6’s dual protagonists, at a waterside home. Engadget says the scene includes gym equipment on a balcony, a nearby jetski and a short basketball sequence. After Jason makes a shot, he receives a focus stat boost, which the outlet says suggests GTA 6 may lean into role-playing-game-style progression or character stats. Engadget also notes that the building shown in the clip appears identical to one from an official GTA 6 screenshot and is labeled as Jason’s safehouse on the game’s website. That is one of the stronger pieces of circumstantial support in the report, but it still does not verify every interface element or mechanic visible in the leaked footage. The second clip, as described by Engadget, shows more conventional GTA activity. Jason appears to drive near an area called The Keys, makes a U-turn, collides with a delivery truck and gets into a fight with the driver. After Jason kills the driver with a wrench, the clip reportedly shows a two-star wanted level. Several interface details in that second clip point to possible new or expanded systems. Engadget says each wrench swing depletes an energy bar, while a devil icon with a minus sign appears on the right side of the screen and on Jason’s portrait, which the outlet says could indicate an honor or karma system similar to the Red Dead Redemption series. The clip also reportedly shows “loadout” and “storage” prompts near a vehicle, plus a car-name icon and gas meter after Jason gets back in the driver’s seat, suggesting possible vehicle inventory and fuel mechanics. The timing is sensitive because Engadget says fans are waiting for a GTA 6 deep dive later this month, which is expected to premiere on Netflix before arriving on YouTube later the same day. Rockstar has dealt with major GTA 6 leaks before, including the 2022 incident referenced by Engadget, so the reported takedowns fit a familiar containment playbook. For now, the clearest factual takeaway is narrower: new GTA 6 material is reportedly circulating, and Rockstar is reportedly trying to remove it before the official presentation. Who benefits: Fans and analysts get a more detailed, if unofficial, look at possible GTA 6 mechanics and map structure. Engadget’s report also gives Rockstar a clear signal about which elements are already circulating before its official deep dive. Who's exposed: Rockstar is exposed to another pre-release narrative it does not fully control. People reposting the materials may also face takedown action, according to Engadget’s report that DMCA notices are being issued.
