The August 2026 leak wave

Starting August 18, 2026, a leaker called CyberLeek published alleged development-build clips showing combat, driving, clubs, and the first Wasted screen. Fourteen major clips landed through August 25.

Industry response

Take-Two issued takedowns and filed subpoenas targeting Microsoft and Discord to trace distributors. Reports citing Kalshi say Rockstar leaders and many employees were angry over the leaks, though Rockstar did not publish a dedicated press release on each clip.
