In just nine days, Rockstar Games will unveil an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI via Netflix. However, the internet’s curiosity couldn’t wait, and two leaked clips surfaced online, offering a sneak peek into the highly anticipated game.
The clips, each lasting just over a minute, were quickly taken down due to copyright claims, highlighting Rockstar’s vigilant monitoring. The videos were also marred by cryptocurrency ads, a common sight in such leaks.
Jason’s Recreational Activities and Game Mechanics
One of the clips shows protagonist Jason enjoying some downtime at his waterfront home, engaging in a game of basketball. A notable feature in this scene is the Focus stat that Jason gains when he makes a basket. This suggests that GTA VI might encourage players to participate in recreational activities, a departure from previous installments.
Vehicle Physics and Combat in GTA VI
The other clip focuses on driving, specifically showcasing the 1970 Vapid Ganado a rusted-out pickup truck. The footage includes handbrake turns and a brief but intense altercation with a mail truck. Jason’s quick victory is marked by a devil-emoji-style icon, possibly indicating an honor system. Additionally, the clip hints at a more grounded approach to equipment management, with loadout options appearing overhead.
Some enthusiasts have speculated that GTA VI is adopting a slower, more methodical pace based on these details. However, the gameplay appears to retain the classic GTA V feel, enhanced with intricate animations and improved lighting and shadows.
Exclusive Vehicles and Bonuses
The leaked footage also reveals two exclusive vehicles tied to the pricier, $100 version of the game: the 1995 Grotti Cheetah and the 1967 Vapid Dominator Buggy. These vehicles, along with the custom Ganado, are part of the bonuses for the higher-tier edition.
Despite the low-quality nature of the leaked footage, it’s clear that the official premiere on Netflix will showcase a visually superior product. The leaked clips, potentially dating back to 2026, suggest that the final version will benefit from significant visual improvements.
