Hacker Cyberleek leaks full GTA VI map and gameplay clips to protest digital-only pre-orders

Published Aug 19, 01:37 PM UTC

A hacker known as Cyberleek leaked gameplay clips and the entire map of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) to protest Rockstar Games' decision to sell pre-orders for a digital-only release. The hacker argues that pre-orders were originally created for physical discs due to manufacturing limits, but digital copies cannot sell out, making pre-orders unnecessary. Cyberleek demands a public apology from Rockstar and a commitment to change. The leaked clips show basketball games, vehicle loadouts, and an honor system similar to Red Dead Redemption 2. The map reveals five counties, a rail system, and many islands. Rockstar has issued DMCA takedowns, confirming the leaks' authenticity. The article also notes broader industry trends away from physical media, citing Sony's similar moves.
