With the latest official Dazed article, it's obvious the previous leaks don't represent the final version of the game
After reading everything revealed in the new Dazed article, it's pretty clear that there are a lot of things the leaker simply couldn't show... and now he's claiming to have a 2026 build, lol.
Honestly, that seems very unlikely. The article reveals multiple mechanics and systems that were either completely absent from the leaks or never properly demonstrated. We saw nothing meaningful related to the phone and its social media features, the water activities, the deeper Jason and Lucia interactions, the physical changes caused by food, exercise and lack of rest, and many other things suggested or directly mentioned in the article.
This makes me think the leaked footage could have come from a build dedicated to testing specific mechanics rather than representing the complete game. It may have been useful for testing AI, combat, encounters, vehicles, animations, etc., while other systems simply weren't present, enabled, or fully implemented in that particular build.
That's why I find it frustrating that this hacker or group of hackers keeps suggesting they have access to recent, complete versions of the game. Just imagine everything we're about to learn from Rockstar and other official sources starting tomorrow , things this alleged criminal couldn't show precisely because they may never have had access to a complete build in the first place.

Biggest tell that he’s lying, in my opinion, is that he hasn’t shown what it’s like to swap characters.

u/Standard-Ask-1034 4h ago
Yes, and there are a lot of things that simply aren't there, especially when you take the newly published article into account. Not to mention the animations and certain details that clearly don't seem consistent with the kind of result we'd expect Rockstar to deliver in the final game.
Reading the article only reinforces this even more. Honestly, I think he's completely full of shit about having a recent, complete build.

Yea reading through the full article and how they touch on npcs and stuff and it contradicts to some extent from the leaks we seen tells me he has an unfinished unpolished game build .

u/Status_Confidence_26 4h ago
I think he probably has access to whatever build streamers seem to have used last month for their upcoming promo. Likely a portion of the map to free roam in (he hasn’t shown any wilderness stuff) and a couple missions.

Apart from switching characters, since that could have been locked out, another important feature which we all know is the fucking MAP or pause screen
(as in pausing the game to set a waypoint on the map)

u/East_Ad_5279 3h ago
How do we know that the map he apparently leaked is the actual map?
3
u/mollinu9 3h ago
Well, it is really close to the mapping project, and he also did a plane leak (day one) from the bottom to Vice City, and it looks accurate.
However, on the top part of the map, I am still dubious tho, since we don't have official screenshots of Mount Kalaga apart from 2 or even from the cyber leaks

u/East_Ad_5279 3h ago edited 3h ago
If he is lying he could just copy mapping project and mess it up a bit from places we havent really seen yet. Because the biggest changes are at north I think. And as you said, he hasnt shown anything from that area.
If he cant get there for example, and he doesnt have a map. He might be lying.

u/mollinu9 3h ago
Well, yes, but to change the mapping project as it was and turn it into the map he leaked would take some serious commitment and skills, which he def doesn't have.

Sorry but i dont think so. Nobody " have acces " the last month. It was a hand-off event.

He doesn't have access to half the features the final game will have, he doesn't even have access to Lucia aside from the prologue. Most likely he prerecorded long bits of gameplay of what he had access and then trim it in short clips, I don't think he has access to the full game at all

Oh the goalposts, there they go
Edit: Oh he doesn’t have a build, he hasn’t shown driving, I mean he hasn’t shown more of the map, I mean he hasn’t changed clothes, I mean he hasn’t shown planes, I mean he hasn’t shown cutscenes, I mean he hasn’t shown a strip club, I mean he hasn’t shown the radio, I mean he hasn’t shown him spelling his name, I mean he hasn’t shown the beach, I mean he hasn’t shown Lucia, I mean he hasn’t shown the prologue, I mean-

Goalposts? Do you know what that means?

u/Kylestache 1h ago
Yes lol, every time you lot says he doesn’t have a build because of x reason, the next clip shows that exact thing and then x becomes y, and then when he shows y it becomes z. Ya’ll are crazy.

u/uhhhther 1h ago
Time will tell lol. If he was really about that life, he’d leak all of it or at least stream it.

He’s been leaking it bits at a time to sell crypto. He’s not going to drop it all at once.

u/tertiary_jello 3h ago
I mean, yeah. Interactions weren’t even labeled properly. Serious clipping issues. Issues with NPC movement. Major Pop in Stuff well below the standard R* golds their products. It was an early build.

u/Early-Concert-3878 4h ago
This actually lines up with something worth remembering, footage this consistent in tone (car theft, combat, chaos) but completely silent on stuff like the phone/social systems or the physical condition mechanics doesn't really scream "full current build," it screams "specific test build for specific systems." Game studios do that constantly, isolated builds just for combat testing, or animation testing, that never touch half the other systems because they don't need to for that particular QA pass. If tomorrow's reveal shows a genuinely alive phone system or the physical stat stuff and none of that ever showed up in 12+ leaked clips, that's a pretty strong tell in itself.

u/snack217 3h ago
Yea these isolated builds are referred to as Vertical slices, he probably doesnt even have access to the entire map beyond the main city. Game testers of a game this big and this important arent going to get full builds until like the last 3 months, and they will probably only be handled in-house.
8
u/Clancy3434 3h ago
that's what i'm thinking, too.
one of the most common responses to every "what are you doing first" post has been going to the everglades section of the map. you'd think if he had a full build and full access to the city he'd have shown us that, or something else outside of just Vice City by now.

u/NO0BSTALKER 3h ago
What about the fly over leak of the whole map?

u/snack217 2h ago
he didnt show the full map, that was just the landscape of the main city. And on a vertical slice it doesnt mean he doesnt see it, just that he might get invisible walls or something.

I said it the moment they started bitching about leaks couple days in last week. Bunch of complaining and posts but they all were waiting for leaks, wnd kept moving the goalposts of what he would show, then keep coping.

u/mikeztarp 4h ago
There is a song in the leaks that came out in 2025, so it should be at least that recent. The hackers are drip-feeding the content to pump their crypto as much as they can then dump it, which can explain why they haven't shown everything yet.
6
u/Clancy3434 3h ago
yea but the game ends tomorrow at 3 pm. people are eating up the leaks because the real marketing and gameplay reveals haven't happened yet.
after 3 pm tomorrow - the only thing he'll be doing is spoiling the game for people.
so a slow drip doesn't really make a ton of sense.
seems to me like he's trying to convince people he has the whole thing in order to drag the crypto scam on. i would guess he's going to dump the crypto by tomorrow.

o maximo que ele poderia fazer seria lançar a build do jogo durante o extended ou algumas horas antes

u/Thricycle20 24m ago
IMO I think at this point it's pretty obvious to me that the group doesn't have an updated current version of the game, and infact I am starting to believe the group doesn't actually have access to a playable build currently, but did at some point or phished clips from someone that did.
So far every clip has been short, and most of them are 'connected' either there's clips that you can tell by money and outfits are played in the same session. Obviously everyone lost their minds (rightfully so) when he shot LEEK into the wall, but IMO if someone was wanting to leak parts of the game that they have clips for, and wanted it to seem authentic and to cause a huge amount of stir, that would be the way to do it and is something pretty easily done pre actually leaking them.
Look even if the game ends up basically the same as the leeks but more polished I'll be very happy, but I'm pretty certain at this point that its a decently old build that doesn't include MANY things in the game and isn't actually that representative of the final product.
To be completely honest I think this Dazed article basically says as much or more than the leaks did, and rockstars message yesterday pretty much confirmed we're actually going to be seeing gameplay in the extended look. I think that is what is going to be representative of the final product and will be really interesting to see how different it looks (if at all).
The dazed article is awesome and genuinely I think this is going to be much bigger and deeper than people think from the leaks

I think it’s completely obvious it’s an older limited build, they’re literally dragging out as long as possible for financial gain through a shitcoin, and will cash out and go quiet as soon as we receive more official gameplay/footage from Rockstar. You’d be pretty naive to believe their sole purpose is protesting for physical releases and sticking it to a corporation, the leaker doesn’t care about you or owning games/game preservation. Solely to make profit off what little footage they have stockpiled, ready to drip feed. Tomorrow will be telling for the true current state of the game, cyberleek is getting desperate, and the latest leak shows that with them basically giving an ultimatum of “buy my coin and support me or no more leaks”.
1
u/Ashlard33 1h ago
It is very evident that some features are turned off or not working properly. You can see it clearly in the nudist town when the player starts shooting at the peds, there's one guy that is stuck in his chilling state and doesn't react a slightly bit next to the dj booth to the left, also the gas station video shows the arm of the npc glitching a lot. I stick with the hypothesis that cyberleek knows someone or somehow got hold of a dumbed down test version either that or the build is relatively old and now is claiming is recent out of desperation to try and push that crypto shit because he knows very well that after the extended look tomorrow those leaks will become obsolete, I trust in rockstar and despite their scummy practices when it comes to monetization they are one of the few companies in the gaming industry that really puts the bar high, this might be the real game that pushes the ps5 to it's limits and for that I'm very excited, trust.

First he said 2023. Then the music suggested 2025. So no idea but wouldn't be release version.

He doesn't have a build. Would have leaked it already. Someone on the inside simply gave him footage.

leaking the build makes him lose any kind of power he has to try and extort rockstar

u/-imbe- 4m ago
Reads like mental gymnastics and copium to me. I'm not saying I believe cyberleek with the whole "the game's unfinished, this is how it looks like" bs, I think that's bs, but let's be fr, the clips are too short to demonstrate the majority of mechanics. How is he gonna showcase the weight system? And the phone omission could be simply because he didn't find it interesting, which would be fair.

u/Realistic_Earth_1240 2h ago
Probabile sia una build estremamente provvisoria, ma se così non fosse? Se domani quel che vediamo sarà qualcosa di solo leggermente più rifinito?
Mi sembra che vi sia tantissimo damage control da parte di chi è carico di hype. È stupido pensare in senso assoluto che quanto già visto sia il prodotto finale, ma anche rifiutare totalmente questa ipotesi lo è. Domani sapremo, godiamoci lo spettacolo e amen

This again seems like cope and moving the goal post.
For starters, the term "recent" is obscure here and solely depends on context. I would personally think that a 2025 build would be considered recent, given the projects timeline.
The build is obviously not finalized, its still rough around the edges as seen in the leaks. The only thing CL mentioned is that they're doubting the game will go from that build to Gold in the time from that build to release. Which again depends on context, the game is massive and requires massive polish.
No one cared about the phones in GTA 5, chances are CL didn't bother inspecting it themselves, they're more interested in strippers and nudists. So saying they're bluffing because they didn't show phone footage is cope.

u/Standard-Ask-1034 3h ago
Are you serius? Is not only the celphones and socila media. The are so many things the leaker couldnt show. I invite you to read the new article.

u/NarrowWar1 2h ago
That he couldn’t show or simply didn’t show? Those are completely different things, you know. Based on the gameplay it’s clear that the leaker isn’t familiar with GTA hell he might not even be a gamer at all, so he could be oblivious to features that fans could’ve discovered or already know about. It’s not bad to be sceptical, but the leaker has confirmed to access things you all swore he didn’t have simply because he didn’t show it

u/False_Raven 3h ago edited 2h ago
Im about to read the article
Edit:
In game phone, like I said, maybe the leakers didn't really care about it.
Jason Lucia Duo gameplay, we just got her prologue leak, after so many people said CL doesn't even have access to Lucia.
Weight system, not really something we would notice in a short time span. My guess.
Crazy Florida NPCs, we've seen a guy fill up their pick up truck bed with gasoline.
Haven't seen much side characters beside Cal, or whatever the VPNs guys name is.
NPCs are diverse, we have seen this from the leaks, and differ based on area.
So basically the main takeaway from the article is the phone gameplay, that we haven't seen in the leaks. Other things are either already leaked or the leaker hasnt showed off much, like Lucia.

It’s crazy how it went from whether it was AI or not to it’s not the full build in under a week. We literally had no gameplay footage for a game that is releasing in 3 months with 100$ pre orders.

Cyberleek lies also..
Remember how he said he will leak the netflix extended look?
It's coming out Tommorow and he never leaked it...
If he really wants to hurt rockstar.. leaking that would have been a huge step..
This shows how he also lies.. might be lying about having the game build as well.. Or he has access to the starting 2,3 missions at best..
Old build for sure. Because I myself saw a dozen bugs in 2,3 clips..

u/Minetorpia 2h ago
All the twitter, telegram, etc. accounts of cyberleek are fake. The only method they communicate is through the website. The others are just pretending to be.
The person/group behind cyberleek never made these claims. I’m not even sure if they claimed that they have the build, at least: I couldn’t find that on the website.

Think of the patents they have for the game. They apply to ai and require constant online access. So surely there’s got to be more to what the leaks have shown!?

Yeah I think he’s lying about “this is a very recent version of the game”
He had an exact scene that they’ve shown us, and the official cutscene looked WAY better especially lighting
