GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek says leaks stop, threatens switch

GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek says the leaks are over, at least "for now." On October 14 the anonymous leaker posted a three-part message titled "End of the road" on their website. In it they claimed to have the game's ending, said they had chosen not to publish it, and warned that a "dead man's switch" would release story spoilers if anyone takes them down. The message came with a new video that CyberLeek says comes from GTA 6's final missions.

None of CyberLeek's claims have been verified. Rockstar Games has not commented on the latest leaks.

What CyberLeek claims

Kotaku reports that CyberLeek said publishing the ending "was considered" and would "punish Take-Two greatly." It would also "ruin the experience for the gamers, who did nothing wrong," the leaker wrote. According to CyberLeek, Take-Two "was punished enough" and the ending "stays unpublished."

As proof, CyberLeek pointed to the new clip, which they said was footage from the final missions shown out of context. Eurogamer watched the video, which runs about four minutes, and found it less dramatic than promised. It does not appear to show the ending sequence or the final cutscene, but Eurogamer warns that the location where the action takes place could be a spoiler. If you want to go in fresh, it's best avoided.

Then comes the threat. CyberLeek says the dead man's switch is "active" and covers "story spoilers only." The message adds: "Left alone, it never fires. Whoever removes CL chooses it." PC Gamer reads this as an offer of a truce with Take-Two. The outlet also points out the obvious problem: any leverage CyberLeek has disappears once the game is out and everyone can see the ending.

No build, and a crashed coin

CyberLeek had threatened to release a playable build of GTA 6 if their memecoin reached a $30 million market cap. That won't happen. "The 30M was not reached, so no build," the leaker wrote, according to Kotaku and Eurogamer. They added that uploading a build of more than 200GB anonymously was too risky without that money. There is still no evidence that any such build exists.

The coin came nowhere near the target. Eurogamer reported that its market cap fell to about $1.2 million, three days after peaking at around $7.8 million. The peak came right after leaked footage showed Lucia nude, which followed a similar clip of Jason.

CyberLeek also used the message to deny running a "rug pull." They said they sold twice, took only trading fees, and that "the token was always a donation, never an investment." They blamed YouTubers and influencers for the backlash, a swipe Dexerto also highlighted. GamesRadar+ had little patience for that defence and called the whole scheme a crypto grift built to profit from stolen material.

How we got here

CyberLeek started posting GTA 6 gameplay clips in August. Rockstar responded at the time, calling the leaks "heartbreaking" for the team, according to Dexerto. The leaker went quiet around the time Rockstar released its own extended gameplay look. Eurogamer suggests that was likely a reaction to Take-Two opening an investigation and issuing subpoenas to Discord and Microsoft. CyberLeek returned in October with a fresh batch of footage, new cutscenes and the build threat. Kotaku notes that the leaker's stated reasons have kept changing. They have complained about GTA 6 skipping a physical release and also said they needed money for a game project of their own.

What happens next

"The leeks stop here. For now," CyberLeek wrote. Those last two words matter, because the leaker has already vanished and come back once. With GTA 6 launching on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, there isn't much time left for more leaks to matter. The legal side is another story. There has been no public word that Take-Two's investigation has ended, and Kotaku expects Rockstar and Take-Two to keep trying to find out who is behind the account.
