The internet is once again buzzing with claims of a full, playable version of Grand Theft Auto VI being leaked online. This resurgence comes months after the initial wave of fake “CyberLeek” download resources began circulating.

A TikTok video, under the title “GTA 6 Full Game Leaked,” has garnered significant attention, boasting over 306,000 likes, 44,000 shares, 36,000 saves, and 5,600 comments. The video directs users to download a file named “Grand Theft Auto VI CYBERLEEK‑build.v1.0.245.ISO”, presenting it as the complete game.

The purported download page indicates an upload date of August 26, 2026, with a file size of 130GB. It also claims 1337 seeders and 42 leechers. However, these statistics are entirely fabricated by the website and cannot be verified through third-party sources. A closer inspection of the internal file list reveals that the installer program, “GTAVI_INSTALLER.exe”, shows a file size of 0 bytes.

It’s important to note that this 130GB download package is not the only fake leak circulating under the CyberLeek moniker. As early as August 22nd, gaming news site VGA4A identified a similar torrent file with the same name, “CYBERLEEK‑build.v1.0.245.ISO”, reportedly around 145GB. At that time, warnings were issued that even with fabricated Windows or Steam metadata in the filenames, these resources could not be confirmed as genuine game files.

Around the same period, Tom’s Hardware also reported on another GTA 6 disk image file, weighing 113GB. After analyzing this file, users discovered that approximately 99.99% of its content was meaningless blank data. The actual executable code comprised only about 50KB and contained embedded malware.

These fraudulent download resources tend to appear almost immediately after any legitimate CyberLeek-related footage or information surfaces. Security firm Malwarebytes reported on August 24th that while a small amount of actual GTA 6 gameplay footage did leak starting August 18th, malicious program samples were detected the very next day. One such executable, named “gta6_installer.exe”, was identified as an information-stealing trojan designed to pilfer saved browser passwords, cookies, and active login session credentials.

The current viral TikTok video falsely claims that the well-known leaker CyberLeek has released a complete version of the game. Users are strongly advised to steer clear of any download files claiming to be a leaked version of GTA 6, as these are highly likely to contain malicious code and are part of elaborate scams.
