GTA 6 leaker threatens to release a build if memecoin reaches $30 million
Cyberleek, a leaker who has posted Grand Theft Auto 6 footage, says it will release a game build with the full story and ending if its memecoin reaches a $30 million market value.
The group also says publisher Take-Two Interactive could stop the release by issuing the game on physical discs and making a public apology.
It is unclear whether Cyberleek means to share a playable game build or a video of a complete playthrough.
At the time of one report, the coin’s market value was $3.8 million, after briefly reaching $5.7 million.
Cyberleek has also linked other leaks of gameplay featuring Lucia to targets for the coin’s value.
The scheme has drawn criticism and accusations that it is a cryptocurrency scam, while the leaker’s claims about physical media have been met with skepticism.
Take-Two’s parent company has investigated earlier leaks, but it remains unclear how the footage or build got out.
GTA 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19.
