A purported clip of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay has surfaced online, convincing many fans that it could be a legitimate segment from the highly anticipated game. While Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have kept gameplay details extremely close to the chest, the footage appears convincing enough to potentially be from an older build of GTA 6.

Throughout the clip, the environments, locations and character movements remain relatively consistent, with no obvious signs that the footage was generated using AI.

That does not necessarily prove its authenticity, but the general consensus among Reddit users discussing the footage is that it could be legitimate. If the clip is real, its appearance just days before GTA 6's upcoming Netflix Extended Look on August 27 is particularly interesting.

The roughly one-minute clip shows Jason leaning against the boards on his porch before walking toward a nearby railing and jumping off. He then finds a basketball and takes a shot. While it is hardly an extensive look at GTA 6's gameplay, the footage provides a glimpse at the game's animations and movement systems that Rockstar has yet to officially showcase.

The footage does look somewhat dated, with stiff animations and a relatively basic-looking user interface, although those elements would make sense if the clip came from an older development build.

GTA 6 gameplay has leaked before, with footage from an extremely early version of the game appearing online several years ago. Rockstar has presumably made significant changes to the game across numerous development builds since then, meaning another leak showing an older version would not be particularly surprising.

At the same time, the footage could still turn out to be fake, and there is currently not enough information to definitively confirm whether it is an authentic look at GTA 6.

There is also a brief moment where Jason's face can be seen, although some fans have questioned whether the character looks like the protagonist shown in Rockstar's official material.

The brief appearance could simply be the result of the video's quality and length, while GTA 6's confirmed character customization could also explain some differences. Unless additional footage or information emerges, fans should not expect Rockstar or Take-Two to publicly address the leak.

If the footage is legitimate, it will be interesting to see how long it remains online. Take-Two has already made clear how important GTA 6 is to the company's future, with the game expected to generate enormous revenue following its launch. Rockstar and Take-Two are therefore unlikely to ignore unauthorized footage for long, particularly with the official marketing campaign entering its final stages.

Fortunately, fans do not have to wait much longer for an official look at GTA 6 gameplay. The Netflix Extended Look is scheduled for August 27 at 12 PM PT and 3 PM ET, giving players their biggest official glimpse at the game yet.

If the leaked footage is legitimate, the presentation could also provide a useful comparison between the older build and the version Rockstar is preparing for launch.
