Freshly leaked footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 has surfaced online, offering players a detailed look at the upcoming title’s melee combat mechanics, surface swimming, and world details. Distributed by an online entity operating under the moniker “CYBERLEEK,” the video showcases gameplay centered on the protagonist, Jason, involved in dynamic physical altercations and a brief sequence navigating a river.
The clip begins with Jason confronting a police officer, taking him down, and hijacking his motorcycle before accidentally driving off a ledge into the water. Upon entering the river, the early-development build automatically teleports the character above the submerged vehicle, after which he swims across the water body. While the sequence highlights fluid surface-swimming animations, it does not demonstrate underwater diving mechanics or submarine traversal.
Following the aquatic sequence, the footage transitions into an extended melee combat scene beneath an underpass. Jason initiates a brawl against a group of non-player characters using a light slap, demonstrating that players can trigger non-lethal physical confrontations without defaulting to heavy strikes. The fight escalates as an NPC draws a knife, prompting Jason to equip his own blade for a detailed knife-fighting exchange. During the altercation, Jason loots “Zombix”—a returning healing item—from a defeated opponent. An in-game text alert notes that repeated usage of the item builds character resistance, progressively reducing its healing potency over time.
Analysis of the footage indicates that the build is roughly a year old, featuring placeholder HUD elements, a bare-bones weapon wheel, and unpolished transition animations. However, eagle-eyed viewers noted minor environmental details, such as mini-map icons for functional fast-food restaurants, hinting at mechanics similar to past titles in the franchise. Despite the unrefined nature of the leak, the core combat mechanics display a clear technical progression from the melee systems seen in Red Dead Redemption 2.
