A minute-long video circulating on social media purports to show a new gameplay leak for Grand Theft Auto VI from a source named CyberLeek. The footage showcases one of the main protagonists, Jason, exploring a residential yard and playing with a basketball.
The clip has drawn the attention of the gaming community due to its detailed physics and animations.
What the video shows and debates over its authenticity
According to Gamefa, the video demonstrates a ball-shooting mechanic with dynamic net and environmental physics. Opinions in gaming communities are divided over the clip’s origin: some players believe the graphics and physics fit Rockstar’s style, while skeptics point to questionable UI elements, such as a “throw the basketball” prompt.

Soit c’est fake et l’IA progresse de jour en jour, soit c’est réel et je vais acheter le jeu juste pour faire des paniers en bas de ma cabane. pic.twitter.com/v7lo53z0WR
The sports mechanic itself fits the upcoming game’s setting: official footage from Rockstar Games has already shown characters near basketball courts in resort areas of the state of Leonida.
Security focus and the context of leaks
The video’s appearance triggered a fresh wave of discussion regarding the April cyberattack by the ShinyHunters group, reported by The Guardian. However, there is no confirmation of a direct link between the published footage and that incident.
At the same time, an image claiming to show a “full map” of the state featuring Lummox County has been circulating online, though analysts remain skeptical due to the lack of any mention of the location in confirmed materials.
Neither Rockstar Games nor Take-Two has commented on the video’s authenticity, leaving the footage unconfirmed.
