GTA 6 leak conspiracy theoriesTo be fair, the conspiracy theorists have done a good job of explaining themselves. Fans have pointed out that Cyberleek appears to be following a marketing campaign-esque style schedule by releasing one or two videos per day. They have also noted that the leaked footage consistently focuses on game mechanics and never seems to reveal much about the GTA 6 story, which could genuinely spoil the game’s November launch.Based on Cyberleek’s footage, it appears that the group may have access to a playable build of the game. If so, the leakers could theoretically produce almost any footage they wanted, provided the content was included in whichever version of the game they possess.

As some have pointed out, even the gameplay footage that Cyberleeks has released doesn't reveal too much. Whoever is playing the game doesn't seem to explore the world as the character passes things by, instead passing potentially interesting locations without investigating them. The footage has also largely avoided action. No car crashes, no widespread destruction, no explosions — none of the things that make GTA, well, GTA.
