It is being reported that the hacking group claiming responsibility for recent Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks has issued a public manifesto demanding that publishers immediately end digital pre-orders. According to reporting from Kotaku, new video clips circulating from a website called Cyberleek show driving footage, a character playing basketball, and what appears to be the game's complete map ahead of a scheduled Netflix-hosted gameplay reveal.

Quick Facts

  • Game: Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6)

Cyberleek's Demands Regarding Digital Pre-Orders

The Cyberleek website published a lengthy manifesto outlining specific rules that the group expects video game publishers to follow, threatening further disruption if companies fail to comply. Commandment 1 specifically targets digital storefront sales before a game's release and independent review.

“No consumer shall pay for a game through digital storefronts before release and independent review. Physical preorders for tangible media remain permitted,” the group writes in its manifesto, arguing that digital distribution lacks inventory limitations and stock shortages. The group states that if publishers want revenue prior to a launch, they should rely on physical discs and boxes.

Additional commandments outlined by the group target single-player content locked behind digital editions—such as the $100 digital-only Ultimate Edition of Grand Theft Auto 6—as well as a call for offline fallback states for single-player titles.

This report is sourced from a single outlet (Kotaku) covering claims made by an external group via the Cyberleek website. While the emergence of leaked gameplay footage aligns with previous reports surrounding Rockstar Games, the group's motives, demands, and direct connection to the leaks remain unverified outside of their published manifesto. Rockstar Games has not issued a public statement regarding these specific demands.
