Where did this leak come from?

Basically someone posted 90 clips of (apparently) GTA 6 on a forum along with some of the game’s code, the clips look like VERY early developement tho

I CAN’T post any clips because of the DMCA but you will be able to find them in a bit when other people post them.

This leak originated from the GTAforum website when the leaker posted all of the clips and information about GTA 6 by providing the users with a download link. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is currently trying to take down that forum page.

When the leak was initially shared on the forums, many players were skeptical as these users started sharing them with other people, and the videos and screenshots began to appear on Twitter and YouTube, quickly going viral.

It is still not clear how exactly the leaker not only found videos and screenshots of GTA 6, but its source code as well. In any case, the leaker soon responded with the following post, which would also be their final post on the website:

To those who asked: There are several reasons this is a nightmare for Rockstar. One is that it’ll disrupt work for a while. Another is that it may lead management to limit work-from-home flexibility. The repercussions of this leak might not be clear for quite a while

Due to the sheer quantity of footage in this leak, many key elements regarding gameplay and characters have been revealed to the fans. The first and foremost thing would be that many previous rumors have been confirmed to be true.

Specifically, claims from the Bloomberg report written by journalist Jason Schreier have been validated. The leaked gameplay showed that there will be two protagonists that players will be able to play as, and one of them is a female character named Lucia.

Another important aspect is the location, which players have figured out to be Vice City just by looking at gameplay videos and listening to characters talking. Other gameplay features include crouching during gunfights and more detailed animations.

The manner in which NPCs reacted to the player’s actions was far more intricate and realistic, and their conversations felt more natural than in any other GTA game. Players should keep in mind that all of these clips depict an early build of the game.
