New gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 has seemingly surfaced online. The short video, which lasts only a few seconds, was posted on Instagram by user “vice.city.alligator” and appears to show an early build of the game. The clip shows a bridge over a large inlet and another bridge in the far distance with several vehicles crossing it. It also features a plane moving across the sky and a speedboat passing beyond the bridge.
The leaker claims in the video’s description that it was sent via email years ago and was heavily compressed. The footage was allegedly shared by a former Rockstar employee and was “recorded straight from a dev’s setup during lockdown.” This would suggest that the clip predates the widely reported 2022 leaks, which saw several images and videos released publicly. “Never thought I’d actually post it cuz its a nothingburger,” writes the leaker. Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In its recent Q3 earnings results, Take-Two Interactive Software confirmed that marketing for Grand Theft Auto 6 will begin this summer. This suggests the game remains on track for its November 19 release date, though it does not guarantee it. “Our execution throughout fiscal 2026 has been extraordinary and we are highly confident as we approach fiscal 2027—which promises to be groundbreaking for Take-Two and the entire entertainment industry—led by the November 19 release of Grand Theft Auto VI with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this summer,” Take-Two Interactive Software said in a press release sent to IGN. In the same IGN report, Take-Two Interactive Software CEO Strauss Zelnick said he felt “very good” about the game’s planned release and denied rumors of a delay to the physical edition.
