GTA 6 Leaks Show Rockstar’s Most Explicit Game Yet: Full Nudity, a Nudist Town and a Strip Club

If you were wondering how far Rockstar would push things in Grand Theft Auto VI, the leaks have answered it: a lot further than GTA V. The anonymous leaker “Cyberleek” has dropped a new 25-minute video, and as Polygon first put it, the star of the show is Jason’s, well, everything.

Heads up: we’re not linking to or showing any leaked footage. Everything here is from an unfinished build and may not reflect the final game.

What’s in the new leak

The video, posted on 8 October as a 370MB+ file the leaker called “Extended Leek”, opens at the Thrillbilly Mud Club, where Jason and Lucia change outfits and take dirt bikes round a mud course. Then things get very not-safe-for-work:

• Jason spends around 14 minutes fully nude, riding a dirt bike, wandering the countryside, sitting through a cutscene at a body shop and street racing in first person. Shoes stay on. Nothing else does.
• Nobody cares. Pedestrians walk past a naked man (who at one point pulls a gun from somewhere) without reacting.
• Full-frontal nudity in story cutscenes, not just free roam, which suggests it’s a proper option rather than a glitch.
• Lucia appears in a final clip climbing a tower in just a thong, shown only from behind. The leaker seems to be teasing more.

Other than the nudity, the footage covers dirt racing, vehicle tuning, nitrous-boosted street racing and a tank appearing mid-air, which could be a debug cheat or a sign the build has been tampered with.

This isn’t the first raunchy leak

Cyberleek has been drip-feeding GTA VI footage since 18 August, ahead of Rockstar’s Netflix “Extended Look” on 27 August, and has leaned hard into the adult content:

• 22 August, the strip club. Released after the leaker’s crypto coin hit a $3 million market cap target. Per Polygon, you can’t use weapons inside, there’s a pool mini-game, and the camera goes cinematic if you stand still.
• 24 August, a nudist town. A two-and-a-half-minute clip of Jason walking through a nudist resort full of fully naked NPCs (full-frontal, men and women) parodying Southern conspiracy-theorist types. Stare too long and they get angry, threaten you or call the cops.

For context, GTA has done nudity before, from GTA V’s strip clubs to full-frontal male nudity in GTA IV’s The Lost and Damned. But a fully nude playable character in open-world gameplay and story cutscenes is a step up, even by Rockstar’s standards.

Rockstar and Take-Two aren’t laughing

Rockstar hasn’t commented publicly on the 8 October video. In August, Take-Two went to a US federal court under the DMCA and moved to subpoena Microsoft and Discord to identify whoever is behind Cyberleek. That’s the same kind of unmasking request we covered in our Denuvo vs Discord story. Take-Two has also been pulling clips off social media as fast as they appear. Bloomberg reported that Rockstar staff were angry and exhausted, partly because ending remote work after the 2022 leak clearly didn’t stop this one.

Cyberleek claims the leaks are a protest against digital-only games, pre-orders and monetisation, while also using every drop to promote a crypto coin. Make of that what you will.

Our take

Leaks of an unfinished game are rough on the people who made it, and nothing here is final. What it does make clear is that GTA VI is aimed squarely at adults, so expect it to land with the strictest age rating when it releases on 19 November for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (still no PC version). If you’re avoiding spoilers, maybe stay off X for a bit.
