GTA VI gameplay reportedly leaks from older build, shows six-star wanted level and fuel system

GTA VI gameplay leaks from alleged 2023 build with six-star wanted level

New footage reportedly showing an unfinished build of Grand Theft Auto VI has appeared online. The clips feature Jason driving, playing basketball at his safehouse, fighting an NPC and completing what appears to be a shooting tutorial.

The footage has not been authenticated by Rockstar Games. Several users examining the files claim the material dates back to late 2023 , which would make it almost three years old. The unfinished interface and rougher driving animations would therefore not represent the current state of the game.

Dos leaks que temos tido de GTA 6 temos alguns que são claramente falsos e outros que podem gerar algumas dúvidas mas depois se percebe que são falsos também.

One of the clearer details is a six-star wanted level. Viewers also spotted vehicle fuel and engine indicators in the lower-left part of the interface. Another prompt reportedly appears when Jason approaches his vehicle, showing “Loadout” and “storage 0/4,” suggesting that personal vehicles may offer limited storage.

Other details are harder to confirm from the footage alone. The leak reportedly shows a map divided into five counties, a location called Goose Key, two types of currency and a new shooting mechanic based on aligning overlapping rings. A devil icon also reportedly appears after Jason attacks an NPC, although it is unclear whether this represents a reputation system similar to Red Dead Redemption 2 or simply an unfinished interface element.

The material was released as a protest against Rockstar’s decision not to include a game disc with physical copies. Rockstar currently confirms that boxed versions will contain a download code instead. Physical copies are scheduled to become available on November 12 to allow pre-loading before release.
