New GTA 6 leaks show gameplay and the full Leonida map as Rockstar issues DMCA takedowns
A new round of GTA 6 leaks are here, showcasing what appears to be near-final gameplay alongside the full Leonida map. Social media accounts sharing the footage have been struck by DMCA takedown notices, but at this point, it may be too late for Rockstar to stop the videos from spreading.
If you want to see Rockstar's game presented in its shiniest form, you'll have to wait for the GTA 6 extended look on Netflix later this month, and you can take this as a SPOILER WARNING – you might also want to avoid the internet if you don't want to see anything else in the next couple of weeks. For everyone else? The footage is, for now, linked in several posts on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit, and it showcases some key details about the game.
One clip shows Jason at a rundown waterfront property, picking up a basketball and shooting some hoops in an impromptu minigame. Made shots appear to fill up a meter labeled "focus," but we don't actually see what that meter does in the footage. palladian.co.za
In another clip, we see Jason wreaking havoc in a beat-up car near an interstate. He crashes into a delivery truck, which prompts the driver to get out and start a fight. There's a bit of melee combat, then Jason knocks the driver unconscious and starts beating him repeatedly with a wrench. As this happens, a little devil icon appears on the side of the screen, suggesting that the game will track your actions in some sort of morality system.
Separate from the footage, there's also a full GTA 6 map breaking down Leonida's layout. It's light on detail, but it does show what seems to be GTA 6's entire road system, alongside numerous unidentified points of interest along the map.
The footage and images are all watermarked for a website called "Cyberleek," which I'm going to refrain from linking to directly because of security concerns. The person or group behind the leak purports to be fighting against the game industry's questionable monetization efforts, and they suggest that if they "can reach Rockstar, no one is safe." They're asking players to help fund their operation through cryptocurrency purchases, which… Well, I can't tell you how to spend your money, but if you're interested in consumer activism, I'd recommend checking in with a group like Stop Killing Games instead.
If there was any doubt that these leaks were real, the fast deployment of DMCA takedown notices against accounts sharing the footage will likely put those doubts to rest. One affected account is calhampton_, who reposted the footage and soon tweeted a warning that their "account has been locked. "I just received a very important and serious email," calhampton_ says in another tweet.

Spredte trojaner fra egen nettside
Geekom bekrefter at selskapets egne nettsider inneholdt en nettverksdriver infisert med skadevaren Asruex som først dukket opp i 2015. Driverpakken gjaldt flere av selskapets AMD-baserte mini-PC-er og kunne fortsatt finnes via søkemotorer selv om støttesiden i praksis var pensjonert.
En rekke Geekom mini PC-er hadde driverpakker med trojaner – var ikke forhåndsinstallert
Det er viktig å skille mellom dette og ferdig infiserte PC-er: det finnes foreløpig ingen holdepunkter for at Geekom-maskinene ble levert med skadevaren installert fra fabrikken. Problemet oppsto dersom brukeren selv lastet ned og installerte den aktuelle LAN-driveren fra Geekoms nettsted. Geekom har siden fjernet nedlastingen.
Den infiserte driverpakken var tilgjengelig for følgende modeller:
- Geekom A7
- Geekom A8
- Geekom AE7
- Geekom AE8
- Geekom AX7 Pro
- Geekom AX8 Pro
Trojaner ga administratorrettigheter
Det alvorlige er at skadevaren lå inne i et driverinstallasjonsprogram, for slike installasjoner kjøres normalt med administratorrettigheter i Windows – det gir skadevare langt større muligheter enn et vanlig program og kan blant annet åpne for tyveri av data, passord og tastetrykk – alt.
Asruex kan også kommunisere med eksterne kommando- og kontrollservere, noe som kan gi angripere mulighet til å kontrollere den infiserte PC-en eksternt.
Brukere som tidligere har installert LAN-driveren direkte fra Geekom, bør derfor behandle maskinen som potensielt kompromittert.
De som tror de er rammet bør formatere Windows-disken
Det anbefales full reinstallasjon av Windows. Som et minimum anbefales en offline-skanning med Microsoft Defender.
Ifølge selskapet var siden ikke lenger tilgjengelig gjennom den normale navigasjonen på Geekoms nettsted, men den var fortsatt indeksert av søkemotorer.
Mange brukere søker direkte etter modellnavn og «LAN driver» i Google eller via AI-søk i stedet for å navigere seg gjennom produsentens støttesider. Dermed kunne den utdaterte og infiserte nedlastingen fortsatt fremstå som legitim.
Videocardz opplyser også at Geekom ba nettstedet trekke den opprinnelige omtalen av problemet. Det ble avslått.
Former PlayStation boss says it's "really funny" turn-based JRPGs are so in-demand after he advised Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 devs not to use the term
Turn-based JRPGs never went anywhere, but with games like Baldur's Gate 3, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 scooping up GOTY awards like XP in a dungeon, their staying power has perhaps never been more clear. That wasn't the case just a few years ago, when former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida advised Sandfall Interactive to avoid describing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, now among the most awarded games of all time, as a turn-based JRPG for fear that it "might lost the interest of many consumers." These days, Yoshida finds the irony of that advice in hindsight amusing.
"I advised them that if they described the game as a turn-based JRPG, they might lose the interest of many consumers," Yoshida tells GamerBraves. "I suggested that they come up with a new name for the combat system."
Without wading into the interminable debate around what makes a JRPG a JRPG, I'll just say objectively that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 isn't strictly a JRPG because Sandfall is a French developer, but it largely fits the bill from a gameplay perspective despite a unique combat system labeled "reactive" turn-based, apparently based on Yoshida's suggestion.
Nowadays, "A lot of developers are now pitching new turn-based JRPG-like games to publishers. So, it's really funny," he says.
Somewhat ironically, there actually isn't a single turn-based RPG having released or about to release in 2026 that's really defining the zeitgeist in the way Clair Obscur or Baldur's Gate 3 did during their respective release years, but with Larian's new Divinity confirmed to be a turn-based RPG and Persona 6 on the horizon, that's bound to change eventually.
Barcelona steal Rodri away from Real Madrid and plan to make him new Busquets
Spain’s World Cup-winning captain has completed his move to Camp Nou where he is a natural successor to club legend
By the time Flight PTN27B started its descent into El Prat a bit before 8pm on Monday evening, a small crowd had gathered by the terminal doors, waiting for it to land. A few people stood and watched the sky, cameras out to capture its arrival. A lot more watched on their phones. In the two hours it had taken to get there from Manchester, taking off at 5.11pm, 101 minutes behind schedule, the Pilatus PC-24 had become the most tracked plane on the planet. Everyone knew that Rodrigo Hernández was on board. Unless, of course, he had been sneaked away in a catering cart.
Five days earlier, Rodri had been seen, and recorded, at Barajas airport waiting to get on a flight back to Manchester from Madrid. He wheeled a small RFEF (Spanish football federation) case with his name on, stood alone in the queue, the World Cup-winning captain just a bloke in shorts and T-shirt, and his stay in the UK was supposed to be brief, just long enough to say goodbye. The plane he was boarding was a Ryanair one: that was the detail everyone homed in on, something extraordinary in the ordinariness. This time, though, he came on a private jet, one way. His family travelled with him. He came to sign for FC Barcelona.
