GTA 6 footage appears online after developer's show reel is leaked

With there's another year still to go until the release of GTA 6, hackers have unsurprisingly been putting in the work to access as much content as they possibly can.

And while Rockstar Games does a good job at keeping their titles under wraps until their release, it seems the hackers have found a way to get their hands on a little piece of content.

It comes after a senior developer working on GTA 6 had part of his show reel leaked, revealing what is believed to be a piece of footage from the hotly anticipated game.

The clip being referred to as a 2025 demo reel, which has been shared online, appears to be footage from Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as some unseen early development footage from GTA 6.

In the first clip, we see a character model taking out a bike from a bike rack and mounting it before they then go and park it back up.

Meanwhile, in the second clip we see a model, which looks a lot like GTA 6’s Lucia, jumping out of a truck by climbing down from its roof, then into the truck bed before out onto the pavement.

It is widely believed that the clips are genuine and from the show reel of a former senior employee at Rockstar, and if that is the case, it seems almost certain that the second clip is taken from GTA 6 has the background looks very much like Vice City.

Sharing the clip on X, fan account @GTAVI_Countdown wrote: "New GTA 6 footage found in a senior Rockstar animator’s demo reel: Motion-capture for the player’s bicycle animations, breakout/exit animation from Monster truck for a female NPC, ocean view can be seen in the third clip."

After the clips were shared to the Reddit forum r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, one gaming fan commented: “Finally, a new GTA 6 leak that is actually real."

“The movement animations look damn smooth," another impressed gamer wrote.

The developer in question is said to have worked for Rockstar for more than two decades, and given the lengths the publisher goes to in the hopes of avoiding leaks, the fact this reel has been shared so widely across social media could cause big legal issues for them.

Many have commented on the leak coming out ahead of Rockstar releasing a third trailer for GTA 6.

LADbible has contacted Rockstar Games for comment on the leak.
