GTA 6: What the nearly 25-minute leak shows—and what remains unconfirmed

A 24-minute, 49-second video attributed to a development build of GTA 6 began circulating on October 8. RockstarIntel, which examined the material, reports on foot and driving sequences from a first-person perspective, as well as debugging tools. The publication attributes it to the Cyberleek account, which presented it as “Extended Leek.”

That puts the news in a different category from a trailer: this is a leak reported by a specialist outlet, not a demonstration published by Rockstar. Evovo has not independently authenticated the file. The presence of a mechanic in development material also does not confirm that it will make it into the version released in November unchanged.

First person, with an important caveat

According to RockstarIntel’s description, the video shows movement and driving scenes from a first-person perspective. The outlet also mentions a tank and elements of a work-in-progress build. These details explain players’ interest, but they do not make it possible to piece together a complete list of features or the conditions under which they might be enabled.

A debug menu is used to test scenarios: it can modify the camera, vehicles, or behavior without following the usual flow of gameplay. That is why it would be premature to present every scene as an activity available to every player from the start. An experimental camera option should also be distinguished from a finished mode with final interfaces, animations, and controls.

What Rockstar does confirm on its official website

As of October 9, the GTA VI website still lists November 19, 2026, as the release date and names PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The official story follows Jason and Lucia in Leonida, with Vice City as one of its settings. This information comes from Rockstar and has a different level of confirmation than the leaked video.

The page does not announce a PC release date. The circulation of a development build does not change that schedule: seeing development tools on a computer is not a commercial announcement for that platform. In our coverage of the release, you can find context on dates and consoles without relying on details from the leak.

How to follow the news without spoiling the game

The interest in this report lies in the perspective and the state of development, not in revealing missions or plot twists. That is why we are not showing the video or linking to copies of the material. The image accompanying this article is official Rockstar art, not a screenshot taken from the leaked file.

Until Rockstar describes these features, it is best to keep the labels clear: release date and consoles, officially confirmed; first person in the material, reported by RockstarIntel; final implementation, pending confirmation. This distinction makes it possible to follow the conversation without turning a work-in-progress clip into a promise the studio has not made.
