A fresh wave of leaked Grand Theft Auto VI footage has surfaced, this time offering the clearest look yet at flying and the game's revamped radio interface — two systems Rockstar has kept almost entirely under wraps until now.
The clip is the latest in an ongoing string of leaks tied to a single source who has been drip-feeding gameplay footage over the past several days. Earlier videos from the same leaker covered driving, combat, the weapon wheel, and a snippet of cutscene footage. The person behind the leaks has claimed their goal is to punish Sony and Rockstar over the decision to ship GTA VI without a physical disc option, though they've also been promoting a memecoin alongside the leaks — a detail that has drawn plenty of skepticism about their real motives.
Soaring Over Leonida
The new footage runs just over two minutes and opens mid-flight, with protagonist Jason piloting a blue-and-yellow biplane over swampland on approach to Vice City. Set in the middle of the day with a cinematic camera angle enabled, the clip shows off a striking draw distance and a level of visual fidelity that reportedly calls to mind Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 more than anything in GTA V. A new volumetric cloud system is visible throughout the flight, and while some vehicle pop-in is noticeable on the highways below, it's worth noting the footage is believed to be roughly a year old.
A New Way to Change the Tune
About 54 seconds in, the leak shifts focus to the radio menu — and it's a clear departure from the classic GTA wheel. Instead, stations are laid out as square icons across the top of the screen, alongside an option to mute the radio entirely. There's also a new "on demand" mode that appears to function like real-world music streaming, letting players pick specific tracks rather than flipping between stations.
Stations and songs spotted in the footage include:
Circoloco Records Radio
Dirty South Classics
Honey FM
Back Country Radio — "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell
Emotion
DNU
Stockyard FM — "Overpowered" by Róisín Murphy
Symphony FM — Symphony No. 5, III. Allegro Molto by Sibelius
V-Rock — "For What It's Worth" by Stevie Nicks
A Message Left Behind
The clip closes with Jason back on the ground, firing a rifle into a wall — an act that triggers a police response in-game. The bullet holes spell out the word "Leek," an apparent signature from whoever captured the footage, and further confirmation that they're working from an actual build of the game. Given the scope of what's already leaked, this could end up being one of the most damaging breaches Rockstar has dealt with throughout GTA VI's development.
The leak arrives as backlash continues to build against the leaker over their stated motives, with parts of the community pushing back on the memecoin promotion tied to the footage.
