TL;DR: Multiple torrents claim to offer a 113GB PC build of GTA 6, but these files are fake and reportedly contain malware that can compromise systems and expose data. With no official PC release yet and existing leaks linked to Cyberleek, downloading labeled GTA 6 files from torrent sites is strongly discouraged.

Grand Theft Auto 6's big official gameplay debut on Netflix is happening later this week. For developer Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two, the run-up to the event has been plagued by multiple leaks. Basically, a leaker or group called Cyberleek has been posting gameplay footage from GTA 6, prompting a flurry of DMCA takedown notices to accounts sharing the material, as well as a formal legal investigation requesting data from companies like Microsoft and Google.

With the leaks showcasing and detailing gameplay across a variety of aspects of the game, the current consensus is that Cyberleek has a working build of Grand Theft Auto 6, with the footage captured on PC. This isn't gameplay footage from the upcoming deep-dive video, but actual gameplay captured by hackers playing the game.

Naturally, with the game's official November release exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, the idea of a working PC build of GTA 6 has got a lot of people excited, regardless of the source. With that, a supposed 113GB build of Grand Theft Auto 6 for PC has been appearing online this past weekend on multiple torrent sites. So, is this the version of the game Cyberleek is currently playing? No, and it's reportedly full of malware.

As seen on social media, the "GTA 6" ISO is reportedly mostly empty data with malware that could compromise any system it's installed on and expose sensitive data to bad actors. Viruses and malware injected into "cracked" copies of high-profile PC games have been around for decades, and with Cyberleek threatening to release a build of the game, it makes sense for bad actors to take advantage of the situation.
