TL;DR: Viral claims that a complete GTA 6 build has leaked point to CyberLeek downloads of conflicting sizes, but none is verified as legitimate. Previous files branded as GTA VI ISOs contained mostly padding or malicious code, and a related installer was identified as an information stealer. Avoid purported leaked copies.

Claims that a complete playable build of Grand Theft Auto 6 has leaked online are going viral again, months after the first fake CyberLeek downloads began circulating.

GTA 6 leak claims explode as multiple 'CyberLeek full build' downloads appear online 2

A TikTok claiming the "GTA 6 ENTIRE GAME WAS LEAKED" has amassed more than 306,000 likes, 44,000 shares, 36,000 saves and 5,600 comments. The video points viewers toward a supposed Grand Theft Auto VI CYBERLEEK-build.v1.0.245.ISO listing, which claims to contain the complete game.

That listing says the build was added on August 26, 2026, weighs 130GB, and currently displays 1,337 seeders and 42 leechers. However, those figures are presented by the website itself and cannot be independently verified. Its file list also shows GTAVI_INSTALLER.exe at 0 bytes.

More importantly, the 130GB download isn't the only supposed CyberLeek build circulating. On August 22, VGA4A reported seeing torrent files using the same CYBERLEEK-build.v1.0.245.ISO branding at around 145GB, while warning that the filenames and accompanying Windows/Steam metadata did not prove a legitimate build existed.

Around the same period, Tom's Hardware reported on a separate 113GB GTA VI ISO. Users who examined the file said roughly 99.99% of it consisted of zero-filled padding, with only around 50KB of meaningful code and an embedded malicious payload.

The scams emerged almost immediately after genuine CyberLeek material began appearing. Malwarebytes reported on August 24 that GTA 6 footage had started circulating on August 18, while a malicious gta6_installer.exe sample was detected the following day. The executable was identified as an information stealer targeting browser passwords, cookies and authenticated sessions.

From TweakTown's coverage of this story.

Is there any verified evidence that a CyberLeek-branded GTA 6 download is an authentic playable build?

No. There is no verified evidence that a CyberLeek-branded download is an authentic playable GTA 6 build. The circulating downloads have conflicting sizes, the 130GB listing's figures cannot be independently verified, and a separate 113GB file was reported to contain mostly padding and a malicious payload.

Has Rockstar confirmed a PC or Steam release of GTA 6, as the fake CyberLeek listings claim?

How can users check whether a purported GTA VI ISO contains game data, padding, or malware?

What browser data can the GTA 6 info stealer access, and how can affected accounts be secured?

Want something else? Ask TweakBot.

So, with a recent viral TikTok circulating claiming a build of the game has been leaked by the notorious CyberLeek it's worthwhile now more than ever to steer clear of any files claiming to be a leaked copy of GTA 6 as the download likely contains some form of malicious code.
