    GTA 6 leak group threatens to release alleged full build including story mode

    The group behind the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, known as CyberLeek, has reportedly threatened to release an alleged full build of the game, including its full story mode and end credits, if its memecoin's market cap reaches $30 million. The group demanded physical disks and a public apology from Take-Two, and its memecoin market cap rose from $3.8 million to $5.7 million after the warning was reported. Take-Two has filed subpoenas against Microsoft, Discord, and X to identify alleged infringers, while Rockstar said it hopes players will wait until November 19 to experience the game themselves.

    Why this: The follow-up to the GTA 6 leaks covers the group's threat and Take-Two's legal moves, showing how the standoff is developing.

    Cyberleek posts another unauthorized GTA 6 video, and the fully naked Lucia footage draws fan skepticism

    Cyberleek has reportedly released another unauthorized GTA 6 gameplay video, this time allegedly showing Lucia fully naked, in a bid to push its crypto scheme. Some fans suspect the leaker used a developer build or cheats to make Jason and Lucia naked, since NPCs in the game world do not react, and an earlier leak showed a tank spawned into the world. Cyberleek had tied the release to its memecoin reaching a $4 million market cap, which was hit over the weekend; the token stood at $2.7 million at publication after spiking to $8.4 million on October 11.

    The Blood of Dawnwalker's lead actor on why AI will always struggle to replicate a human performance

    Will de Renzy-Martin, who plays lead character Coen in the English version of The Blood of Dawnwalker, says generative AI can only replicate the way his voice sounds, not his personality or the choices he makes in the room. Developer Rebel Wolves previously used text-to-speech AI tools to plan cinematics before hiring actors, though nothing in the game was created with AI. He added that anyone using AI-generated voices would still need someone to interact with it and get the desired performance, and that person would cost more than an actor.
