What to know

  • Cyberleek released a final gameplay video showing snippets of GTA 6's ending on October 14, then declared an end to leaks via a message on their website.
  • The leaker's memecoin scheme collapsed, falling from a peak of $7.8 million to $1.2 million, making the promised $30 million milestone for releasing a full 200GB game build impossible.
  • Cyberleek claims to have a 'dead man's switch' of full story spoilers rigged to release if they face legal action from Rockstar or Take-Two, creating ongoing tension as GTA 6's November 19 launch approaches.
  • Many fans remain skeptical of the leaker's retirement claim, noting Cyberleek resurfaced before after going silent, and the cryptocurrency scheme could restart with a new approach.

“The 30m was not reached, so no build.”
