Leaker Cyberleek Threatens Full GTA 6 Build Release Tied to Memecoin Target

The demands include an apology from the publisher and a physical release of the game. TechPowerUp reported the message gives Take-Two one option to avoid the release: physical disks and a public apology. That references GTA 6's planned launch without a disc, as boxed copies are set to include a download code. Tom's Hardware reported that it is not clear what the apology is meant to be for.

The threat is also tied to cryptocurrency. According to both outlets, the group has linked the release to a memecoin, $CYBERLEEK on the Solana network, reaching a $30 million market cap. TechPowerUp reported the coin sat roughly $26 million short of that figure. Tom's Hardware reported that the leakers cashed out around $250,000 shortly before Rockstar's Extended Look presentation aired on Netflix.

TechPowerUp reported that neither Take-Two nor Rockstar appears to have responded publicly, though Rockstar acknowledged the leaks in late August. The outlet advised readers to avoid the leaker's site and any files claiming to be the full build, as their contents cannot be verified.

Epic Games has reportedly postponed an unannounced Disney shooter as it moves to an AI-first workflow using Anthropic's Claude, according to Bloomberg.
