A cryptocurrency campaign promising unauthorised Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay has lost most of its momentum after Cyberleek offered explicit Lucia Caminos footage at relatively low funding targets.
The scheme initially appeared to create a serious problem for Take-Two and Rockstar Games, with a playable development build supposedly available if fans collectively invested $30 million in Cyberleek’s meme coin. The proposed reward was gameplay footage from GTA 6, including material depicting co-protagonist Lucia nude.
Earlier targets included a few million dollars for bikini footage and additional funding for topless gameplay. The campaign claimed that $4 million would unlock nude Lucia footage, while a $6 million target promised clips in 4K resolution.
Those milestones were reportedly reached within hours. Social media users circulated clips and GIFs, including footage of Lucia skydiving without clothing, while posts focused heavily on the character’s body. Fans had been requesting this material since the leaks began in August.
Cyberleek’s GTA 6 gamble collapses
The token’s market capitalisation was just below $1.7 million before the rush. It then climbed to $8.2 million at its peak before falling by 71% in less than a day. Cyberleek had already sold its developer tokens earlier in the year, meaning the leaker was not necessarily responsible for the fall, although transaction fees may still have produced income.
Much of the money leaving the market appears to have come from outside investors. More gaming news and industry stories can be found in the RETROCADE Arcade Blog.
Cyberleek continued adding incentives despite the collapse. Proposed rewards included tank sequences, a private lap dance and a beach massacre, with the tiers repeatedly revised over a few hours. The ultimate promise remained a development build of GTA 6 once the coin reached a $30 million market cap.
The campaign’s central mistake was arguably spending its most marketable material too early. Rockstar could still reveal tank or jet sequences before launch, while a Netflix extended look had already shown a police shootout. Sexual content was more likely to remain undisclosed, although official screenshots had already shown lap-dance scenes.
“He’s already over played his hand with the lucia gooners leak,” one Reddit commenter wrote.
