A series of fresh Grand Theft Auto VI leaked story details that recently leaked just got more intriguing after Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, appeared to issue a copyright strike against an unofficial GTA 6 account and a YouTuber who reported them. The leaked story details were initially shared by YouTuber LegacyKillaHD back in September. The YouTuber shared information on what to expect from the highly-anticipated game's story mode as well as gameplay features.
The leaked details include Lucia being central to GTA 6's story; how the Fast and Furious franchise inspired some of the heist missions; having seperate intro missions for Lucia and Jason; a more grounded story about criminals having family struggles while figuring things out; and its story length being shorter than Red Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2).
Other leaked details include the inclusion of various gameplay elements from RDR2, corrupt cop figures, and different locations and modes. These leaks are just considered speculation as they are not officially confirmed by Rockstar Games. Yet, @GTAVI_Countdown, a GTA 6 X account with over 183,000 followers at the time of this writing, claimed that these leaks have "been pretty much confirmed as we just received a DMCA takedown from Rockstar's parent company Take-Two".
@GTAVI_Countdown is known for sharing news, leaks, rumors, and speculation about GTA 6, and now, the DCMA strike the account claims to have received, is raising fans' eyebrows. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) was passed in 1998 to amend American copyright law to address parts of the relationship between the internet and copyright.
YouTuber Cyber Boi was also hit with a copyright strike by Take-Two Interactive when he released a video going over the recent leaks from LegacyKillaHD. According to Cyber Boi, he didn't share any leaked footage, and instead just included clips from GTA V while he discussed the details LegacyKillaHD initially shared. The YouTuber, who claims that other YouTubers have had their content also taken down for discussing leaked details, is convinced that this means the leaks are legit.
However, just like previous rumors and leaks, let's take all of these details with a grain of salt as we look forward to the release of the second trailer for GTA 6. Many fans are expecting GTA 6 Trailer #2 to come out by the end of this year, but Rockstar hasn't confirmed when it will be released yet. All we have now is the first trailer, which we can watch below:
Grand Theft Auto VI is currently in development for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and back in May, Take-Two confirmed the game's release window: Fall 2025, and ahead of its most recent earnings call in August 2024, the company confirmed the release is still on track, despite delay rumors.
