Over the weekend, development footage of the much-anticipated game Grand Theft Auto 6 briefly surfaced online before being swiftly removed. Despite the game’s history of leaks, this recent reveal has sparked curiosity rather than concern.
Reports suggest that observant fans found an animation reel on Vimeo, uploaded by a developer involved in various Rockstar projects. The reel contained three snippets clearly labeled as GTA 6.
As expected, the video was taken down from Vimeo, yet the clips continue to circulate online. Each of the three segments is short, showcasing animations on what appears to be a test map.
The Leaked Clips
The first clip features a male character managing a rental bicycle rack, with the word ‘LomBike’ visible on the bike frame. This seems to parody the real-world LimeBike system, aligning with GTA’s characteristic satire. Interestingly, this bike rental system was also seen in an earlier official screenshot from Rockstar.
The other two clips show a female character, likely Lucia, exiting a pickup truck in different scenarios. Although brief, these glimpses into the game’s development offer a peek at potential gameplay features.
Implications for the Future
These snippets, albeit short, give us a taste of what might be expected from GTA 6 upon its release, reaffirming some previously known details. Of course, elements like bike rentals and truck exits are part of the experience — this is GTA 6, after all! When GTA 6 launches, these animations will be part of the polished and high-quality gameplay that Rockstar is renowned for.
Recent Context and Fan Reactions
This genuine leak follows a recent viral AI-generated GTA 6 video, which the creator later revealed was a social experiment to demonstrate how easily reality and AI content can blur. With fans eagerly awaiting Rockstar’s next trailer, many are on edge. For now, more discussions continue, including reactions to the game’s delay and insights on why such hold-ups are unsurprising given Rockstar’s history.
