GTA 6 fans are scrambling to find leaked gameplay footage that has surfaced online ahead of the official trailer release. Two clips that appear to be genuine gameplay, along with a world map, are now circulating across the internet — but Rockstar is moving quickly to pull them down.
The leaked content has spread across social media platforms, with users sharing and re-uploading the footage before it gets removed. According to a TikTok post discussing the situation, Rockstar has confronted the AI-generated gameplay videos of GTA 6 and stated they will take them all down — whether they are real or not.
What the GTA 6 Leaked Gameplay Shows
The leaked clips appear to show extended looks at the game, with some sources describing them as revealing new features. A Facebook video post claims the footage was leaked by a "Rockstar insider" and suggests it reveals the entire GTA 6 storyline.
However, not everyone is convinced the footage is real. The TikTok post notes that some of the circulating clips are not actual gameplay footage — they are AI-generated videos that look convincing at first glance. This has created confusion among fans trying to figure out what is genuine and what is fake.
Rockstar's Response to the GTA 6 Leak
Rockstar Games is not taking chances with the leaked content. The company is actively issuing takedowns for the videos, regardless of whether they show real gameplay or AI-generated approximations. This aggressive approach suggests the company wants to keep control over how GTA 6 is revealed to the public.
The timing is notable — the leak comes right before a new official trailer is expected. Fans have been waiting for more GTA 6 content, and the leaked clips have only increased the anticipation. Some YouTube videos discussing the leak are also speculating about a possible GTA 6 Trailer 3 release date, though Rockstar has not confirmed any official dates.
Real Gameplay or AI-Generated Content?
The big question on everyone's mind is whether the leaked clips are the real deal. The TikTok source claims that "it's not real footage" and that Rockstar has confronted the AI gameplay videos. This suggests that at least some of what is circulating online is not actual GTA 6 gameplay.
Yet the original story describes the clips as "legit-seeming," which means they look convincing enough that many fans believe they are real. The world map that has surfaced adds another layer of credibility — or at least makes it harder to dismiss the leak entirely.

What This Means for GTA 6 Fans
For players eagerly waiting for GTA 6, this leak situation creates a frustrating experience. The videos keep appearing and disappearing as Rockstar works to remove them. Fans who want to see the footage need to act fast before it gets taken down.
The situation also raises questions about what the official trailer will show. If the leaked clips are real, the trailer may not have as many surprises. If they are AI-generated, fans are still waiting for the first real look at the game.
Our Take: Rockstar's Takedown Strategy Makes Sense
In our view, Rockstar's decision to remove all the videos — real or fake — is the right call. The company has spent years building anticipation for GTA 6, and controlling how the game is revealed is part of that strategy. Allowing AI-generated fake gameplay to circulate would only confuse players and dilute the impact of the official trailer.
That said, the takedown approach has a downside. It creates a game of whack-a-mole where fans keep re-uploading the content, and the conversation shifts from excitement about the game to frustration about the leaks. Rockstar cannot realistically stop every upload, and the more they try, the more attention the leaked content gets.
For now, the best move for fans is to wait for the official trailer. The leaked clips — real or not — will not give the complete picture of what GTA 6 has to offer. Rockstar has a track record of delivering impressive reveals, and the official trailer is likely to be worth the wait.
The situation also serves as a reminder that not everything on the internet is what it seems. With AI-generated content becoming more convincing, players should be careful about what they believe. Until Rockstar officially shows GTA 6, treat any "leaked" footage with skepticism.
