Seventh GTA 6 Gameplay Leak Shows Refuelling, Slow-Motion Crashes and a Strip Club Tease

Just when the GTA 6 leak saga looked like it might finally run out of gas, it produced the most on-brand clip imaginable: footage of Jason Duval literally refuelling a car. A seventh leaked gameplay video surfaced online on August 22, and this two-minute-and-twelve-second slice of Vice City is packed — gas station services with itemised pricing, back-to-back store robberies, two newly heard radio tracks, a slow-motion wreck that shreds a hypercar piece by piece, and a last-second tease of a location fans have been curious about since the first trailer. Rockstar Intel, Kotaku and PC Gamer have all reported on the clip, which is doing the rounds even as Take-Two scrambles to scrub it from the internet.

What Happened

The clip is the seventh in a string of unauthorised GTA 6 gameplay dumps attributed to the anonymous leaker known online as Cyberleeks. It follows the same pattern as the previous six: a short, off-screen capture of an internal build of the game, watermarked with the leaker’s branding, posted and immediately reposted faster than lawyers can take it down. According to PC Gamer, this one was shared to the Gaming Leaks and Rumors subreddit before being removed.

What makes this dump different is the sheer density of new mechanical detail. Previous clips showed radio menus, flying and a hypercar cruise; this one shows actual systems interacting — fuel, damage, shop robberies, NPC reactions and the game’s cinematic crash camera, all inside 132 seconds.

And the leaks may not stop here. The video carries a watermark reading “3MIL MARKETCAP = STRIPCLUB” — meaning the leaker has promised to publish full strip club gameplay if the cryptocurrency being promoted alongside the leaks hits a $3 million market cap. Kotaku reports the person behind the Cyberleeks alias is now charging advertisers interested in placement within the leaks $165,000 just for an initial, commitment-free meeting.

Refuelling, Robberies and One Spectacular Wreck

The footage opens with Jason driving the Truffade Thrax — the hypercar GTA Online players will recognise instantly — with smoke billowing realistically from the rear tyres and engine. “Pound Town” by Sexyy Red and Tay Keith plays on the radio as he pulls into a gas station. When he draws near a fuel pump, a “Services” prompt appears, offering two options: Refuel for $32 or Repair for $2,429.

Short on cash, the player skips both and opts for a different kind of transaction: Jason walks into the shop, punches the clerk twice, and empties the till — wad by wad — before the police arrive and he bolts. At a second gas station down the road, he escalates, drawing the Girardi ES9 pistol. The shopkeeper barks a warning to put the weapon away while other NPCs react in shock, and the robbery ends with cash stolen and the Thrax blasting off again with police in pursuit, DJ Khaled’s “BILLS PAID” ft. Latto & City Girls on the radio.

The clip’s centrepiece is the crash. Trying to thread between two trucks, the Thrax clips a barrier and gets hit, and the game kicks into a slow-motion cinematic camera from the point of impact. The damage is component-level: a wheel tears off and exposes the brake disc behind it, bumper pieces shear away and scatter, and the deformation looks a generation beyond anything GTA 5 ever produced.

Then comes the tease. In the final seconds, Jason approaches the double doors of a strip club, steps inside, and the clip cuts out just as the player begins choosing a direction through the venue — a first look at a Vice City institution returning in GTA 6.

The Backstory: Take-Two Is Hunting the Leaker

This clip doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s the seventh release in an ongoing campaign, and the legal escalation has been swift. Take-Two filed a subpoena on Friday against Microsoft and Discord to help identify the source of the leaks, and Rockstar Intel reports that Microsoft has complied and is working with enforcement to track the leaker down. Reporting also suggests the leaker’s stated motive is retaliation against Rockstar and PlayStation for the lack of physical discs — though that claim comes from the leaker’s own posts and is impossible to verify.

Whatever the motive, the monetisation is unmistakable. Every clip doubles as an advertisement for the $Cyberleek cryptocurrency, and the “3MIL MARKETCAP” strip club promise turns withheld gameplay into a pump scheme. It is, frankly, one of the stranger footnotes in GTA history: the most anticipated game ever made, being drip-fed to the world by someone treating leaks as an initial coin offering.

What This Means for GTA 6

Fuel and vehicle services look real — and itemised. The “Services” prompt with separate Refuel ($32) and Repair ($2,429) options is the strongest signal yet that GTA 6 leans further into simulation than any GTA before it. PC Gamer notes refuelling appears quick and seamless — a button press at the pump rather than a chore — suggesting Rockstar wants the texture of ownership without the tedium. It’s the same philosophy that made Red Dead Redemption 2’s camp and horse systems feel alive.

The damage model is a genuine leap. A wheel detaching to reveal the brake disc behind it, bumper components shearing off individually, slow-motion cinematic framing on impact — that’s component-level destruction, not the baked-in crumple zones of GTA 5. For a game where half the fun is what happens when a heist goes sideways, this matters.

NPCs are pushing back harder. A clerk verbally warning the player to holster a weapon, bystanders reacting with shock mid-robbery, wads of cash lifted from the till one by one — these are the contextual, systemic reactions Rockstar has been iterating on since RDR2, now applied to street-level crime in a dense modern city.

The radio keeps confirming. “Pound Town” and “BILLS PAID” join the growing list of licensed tracks heard across the seven clips. Music has always been the soul of Vice City, and every new confirmed track is another data point for the soundtrack we’re tracking.

One big caveat, always worth repeating: this is leaked footage from an unfinished internal build. Systems shown in leaks can change, get cut, or ship differently, and the visuals are not representative of the final, polished game. Treat every detail above as a preview of direction, not a promise.

Why You Won’t Find the Footage Here

We cover every GTA 6 leak in detail, but we don’t embed or link leaked footage. Take-Two is actively copyright-claiming the clips, they’re sourced from a stolen build, and hundreds of developers spent years building this game — they deserve to show it on their terms. Everything we report here is based on descriptions from multiple independent outlets. If you want to see it, it’s findable; we’d rather point you toward securing your copy legitimately.

While You Wait for November 19

GTA 6 launches November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — that date is locked in, leaks or no leaks. That’s under three months of pretending not to read spoilers. Our advice: work through the pre-launch checklist, decide between the two consoles with our PS5 vs Xbox Series X comparison, and if you’re a PC player, read up on why the PC version is taking longer — history says it’s worth the wait.

You can already lock in launch-day delivery with the PS5 version of GTA 6 on Amazon or the Xbox Series X|S version. And if the refuelling clip put you in a driving mood, a replay of GTA 5 Premium Edition is still the best warm-up lap available.

However this leak campaign ends — with the leaker unmasked, the crypto flatlining, or a strip club gameplay drop at $3 million market cap — one thing hasn’t changed: come November 19, we all finally get to pump our own gas in Vice City. Legally.
