Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leaks have been continuing since August 18th. Currently, Rockstar and Take-Two have not commented on this, but there is no doubt that real gameplay of the version of the game (dated in 2024 or 2025) is being released. This is not the final version of the project, but close to it, that is, in it you can see the mechanics that have been developed that will most likely not be removed from the release version.
Previously, we’ve discussed the gameplay moments known from the first two leaks. The first video shows a basketball game and an accident. The subsequent video shows the night mission, where you can see the NPC’s reactions and the operation of the stun gun. Several more videos have appeared online in the past 24 hours.
Video containing new GTA 6 gameplay
In the first video, you can see riding a police motorcycle and fighting homeless people with knives.
The second shows a plane flying over the city.
Details of the new gameplay video
user Reddit We’ve already noticed a lot of details in the newly leaked footage. Key points they focus on:
- New weapon wheel. In the video, you can see the GTA 6 weapon wheel for the first time. It is divided into two parts – weapons and items, which is reminiscent of the system in Red Dead Redemption 2. The version of roulette shown has 8 slots available. Weapons on display include pistols and hunting knives, as well as hand-to-hand modes and tactical flashlights.
- Separate project wheels. Medications are placed in a separate site. The video shows Zombix pills and EpiPen syringes. Zombix also has an interesting feature that’s never been seen in the series before – repeated use of the drug temporarily reduces its health-restoring effect. This shows that the consumable system is more complex than in previous GTA games.
- Loot from enemies. After encountering an NPC, Jason can loot the body through a separate loot command. As a result, he received money and items, including a Zombix tablet. This mechanic is again reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption 2, and assumes that players can find some useful items directly from NPCs.
- A more developed melee combat system. In the first video above, the protagonist uses a hunting knife against several opponents. The attack animation is noticeably more different than when using the knife in GTA 5.
- You can greet and provoke NPCs. Apparently, the game will have a system for interacting with passers-by. Depending on the situation, Jason may greet the NPC or start provoking him.
- NPCs can report crimes. Crime report notifications appear after people are attacked. Witnesses will use their mobile phones to self-report crimes to police.
- Police consider appearance, clothing and cars. At one point, a notification appeared saying police were looking for Jason and getting his description. Separate symbols for clothes, faces and cars are shown side by side. This could mean players can reset chases not only based on distance, but also by changing appearance or vehicles.
- Fast food system. While driving, Jason passed a restaurant with a burger icon on the minimap. Players speculate that this marks the return of full-fledged fast-food restaurants, which were an important part of GTA IV.
- Take a plane. A recently leaked video of over 2 minutes shows Jason at the controls of a small two-plane. He flies above the city, allowing you to assess the scale and draw distance of the game world.
- Realistic clouds. This aircraft allows you to evaluate volumetric cloud systems. They form a mature layer above the world, with ambient lighting changing as you fly through different altitudes.
- The radio received a new menu. In the same aircraft leak, you can see the radio working. A separate menu with a square icon is used at the top of the screen instead of the usual large radio station selection wheel.
- List of radio stations. Featured in the leaked footage include Circoloco Records Radio, Dirty South Classics, Honey FM, Back Country Radio, Emotion, DNU, Stockyard FM, Symphony FM and V-Rock.
At the end of the flight footage, Jason can be seen holding a rifle, referencing the leaker as he shoots into the wall and leaves the word “LEEEK” through the bullet holes.
