Released via Netflix on the 28th of last month, Grand Theft Auto VI: A Closer Look gameplay footage has revealed several elements matching the information leaked on Reddit in April 2025.

Back on April 22, 2025 (local time), unofficial leaked info published by someone claiming to be a former QA tester spread like wildfire and caused a massive stir. At the time, plenty of players were skeptical since nobody could verify the authenticity, but now, as the contents within the gameplay footage come to light, the community is looking back at those claims.

The most striking part involves the police AI and the crime-and-pursuit system. The leaked details about police identification, appearance recognition, NPC crime witnessing, and multi-layered reporting responses have all been proven true through official demonstrations. In practice, the police remember not just the player location, but also the physical appearance, getaway vehicles, and whether a partner is tagging along, dispatching units based on NPC reports to thoroughly search the surrounding crime scene.

Vehicle theft and anti-theft systems also showed a high rate of consistency. Unlike previous entries where you could jack a ride with simple interactions, you now need specialized tools like 'slim jims' or 'cloned keys' depending on the security tier, while built-in GPS trackers in certain cars trigger relentless police chases—fully realizing a modernised, deeply sophisticated vehicle security mechanism.

In addition, open-world interactions and activitiesboasted numerous matching points. Character management through exercise, as discussed in the leak, turned out to be a key activity tied to the development of the relationship between the two protagonists, while open-world pastimes such as kayaking, scuba diving, and mountain racing have also materialized as official content.

Of course, these official videos and preview demonstrations leave some unverified items that we simply cannot cross-check just yet. Realistic vehicle maintenance systems—such as fuel refilling and performance degradation from abandoning a ride—alongside specific crime concealment mechanics remain unconfirmed. Furthermore, the roadmap suggesting the online mode will drop 6 to 10 weeks after the single-player launch is another area that requires future validation.

Still, with this official showcase lending serious credibility to a large chunk of those early leaks, trust in the remaining unverified details has naturally shot up. Gamers worldwide are now watching closely to see if the rest of those intricate systems and bold setups will fully make it into the actual launch build.
