Since late 2023, once in a great while fans have been getting small official looks at Grand Theft Auto 6 via trailers and screenshots from Rockstar Games. And in that very first trailer, a crowded beach had fans divided on whether it was real gameplay or a shot created just for marketing. Well, a new GTA 6 leak from Cyberleek seems to indicate that, yes, the beaches and nightclubs of the game are going to feature incredibly diverse and dense crowds, leading to a lot of excitement online from players.
On Tuesday, Cyberleek, who has been sharing GTA 6 leaks for nearly two weeks now, posted three more GTA 6 gameplay clips, including footage that shows Jason visiting a video game store selling physical discs and consoles. However, the clip that has gotten the most attention and positive reactions online involves Jason riding a bike down a Vice City beach. For many, myself included, this clip shows a true leap over Grand Theft Auto 5. It’s genuinely impressive to see the high density of NPCs milling about, combined with how varied each person looks and how far away you can see them in the distance. And this all looks pretty damn close to what Rockstar Games promised back in 2023 in that very first trailer, something that has many fans excited online.
“NPC Density looks pretty close to trailer 1, which was during peak beach time. It’s almost like the trailers were in-game or something and Rockstar doesn’t do downgrades,” said one GTA fan on Twitter.
“Yeah, those trailers weren’t lying about the density of NPCs on the beach…” posted GTA Base on social media.
“Best leak I’ve ever seen,” exclaimed someone else on Twitter. “The waves and NPC density. Only Rockstar can pull this off on a PS5!”

Many fans called out people online who they felt had doubted Rockstar and/or claimed the trailers and screenshots were misleading. For the last few years, a number of people online have claimed GTA 6’s visuals and details would be downgraded in the final release because the officially released marketing materials for the upcoming open-world sequel looked too good to be true. But it turns out that wasn’t the case at all. GTA 6 really is going to look that good, and feature that many varied NPCs in one place.
Beach density like in the trailers confirmed in real game ✅🤝 who could’ve doubted rockstar again

Another example of how dense NPC crowds will be in GTA 6 can be seen in a different leak uploaded to the web on Tuesday. In that leak, we see Jason enter a nightclub, and the dance floor is packed with variously shaped people in unique outfits. At one point, a random NPC woman can be spotted among the crowd moving her hair from the back of her shoulder to the front in a move that has racked up over 850,000 views on Twitter. So these crowds aren’t just big and varied, but also filled with tons of detail and tiny touches, too. Incredibly, and honestly, it’s a bit hard to wrap my head around all of this running on a PS5. Or an Xbox Series S.
In the new GTA 6 Nine1Nine Club leak, a woman dancing runs her hand through her hair, with the strands reacting seamlessly without any glitches. This is still an unfinished build, so imagine how polished it’ll look in the final game.🔥 pic.twitter.com/TLlUHGxlOZ

For some, this fixes an issue in the older GTA games. Those titles, due to hardware and tech limits, rarely featured large crowds. And often you’d spot the same NPC multiple times on a single street or in a single building. But as seen in the nudist resort leak on Monday and in today’s beach and nightclub leak, GTA 6 is going to be filled with NPCs, and they all look, at first glance at least, to be different. I see big people, skinny women, fat dudes, older ladies, and folks with all kinds of other bodies, as well as people who could be models or movie stars. That’s a huge leap over the cookie-cutter body types and cloned NPCs seen in most other open-world games, including GTA 5.
As with the plane leak last week, this latest round of GTA 6 leaks has got me more excited for the game than any of Rockstar’s short trailers or nice screenshots. Actually seeing the game in action, complete with some visual flaws and bugs, has drastically increased my hype levels for GTA 6. I can’t wait to spend far too many hours exploring every inch of this world and getting lost in Vice City. November 19 can’t come soon enough. But before that, we’ll all get a chance to officially see GTA 6 in action via the upcoming Netflix extended look reveal on August 27.
I wonder how Netflix execs are feeling right now as we enter the second week in a row of daily GTA 6 gameplay leaks…
