New GTA 6 Leak Features NPC Reenacting Viral 2021 Prank

Another day brings yet another leak for Grand Theft Auto 6, unveiling fresh details about the game, including an NPC referencing a viral gas station prank from 2021. This incident adds to the growing evidence that the individual or group behind these leaks is still active and seemingly has access to a substantial build of the game.

This latest leak, dubbed “Gas,” features Jason driving through a neighborhood to a gas station, where an attendant is berating a guy for pouring fuel directly into what appears to be a bathtub in the back of his truck. The NPC exclaims, “Who the f*ck are you trying to regulate me?” as Jason approaches. The gameplay then shows Jason stealing the truck and running over the attendant before speeding off, only to collide with oncoming traffic, resulting in a massive explosion and the series’ iconic “Wasted” game over screen.

The NPC’s antics reference a 2021 video that captured a couple’s shocked reaction to a man attempting to fill the bed of his truck with gas. This clip surfaced after the Colonial Pipeline hack, which caused temporary fuel shortages and longer lines at gas stations. The man in the video was warned about the dangers, but he drove off, spilling fuel everywhere as he made a sharp turn. While the clip was staged, it spread widely before being debunked as a clout-chasing stunt.

This is precisely the kind of absurdity that GTA is known for, with the NPC in the leak accusing the government of trying to steal his gas. The new footage also showcases the ability to open the truck’s hood and features dismemberment as the NPC gets crushed. Dedicated fans are meticulously analyzing the leaks for any new insights, with one of the biggest questions being how the game’s protagonist swapping will function.

In a consistent pattern, Cyberleaks has been ending each new video with a tease, and this one includes a prompt for “return to Lucia” at the end, hinting that the next video may feature footage of GTA 6’s other main character and how players can switch between them. If the developers are closing in on identifying the source of these clips, Cyberleaks certainly isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
