Information has surfaced online about new footage from an early version of GTA 6. Reports indicate that the video, which shows a bridge in the fictional city of Vice City, was obtained from a former employee of the development company. The lengthy development process and frequent staff turnover make it difficult to prevent such leaks.

Currently, the authenticity of the latest leak is being debated. The published video features a bridge on the Leonida map with vehicles moving across it, while a boat passes by on the water nearby. Another bridge with moving cars can be seen on the horizon, and a plane flies over the main bridge, leaving a trail of smoke behind. According to available information, the video was recorded four years ago and was stored on a smartphone for a long time. The video quality has suffered due to the file being sent in a compressed format via email.

Unlike previous leaks, this time the method of obtaining the video has been described. Two weeks before the major leak in 2022, a former employee recorded the footage on a work computer to show it to a friend, but the recording was forgotten until recently.

Verifying the authenticity of such materials is becoming increasingly difficult due to advances in image generation technology. Nevertheless, after comparing the footage with official GTA 6 trailers, some users have noted similar details, and the level of detail in the objects is impressive even at low resolution. It has also been pointed out that the bridge resembles the Venetian Way in Miami.

According to the latest reports, there are still more than eight months to go before the release of GTA 6, and the developer has tightened security measures. Despite this, staff turnover remains high, as do cases of employees being dismissed for violating non-disclosure agreements. In December 2025, a former animator accidentally published materials related to motion capture for a city bicycle and a pickup truck. Regardless of intent, such leaks are likely to continue in the future.
