New leaks claiming to showcase footage and an image from Grand Theft Auto VI have surfaced online, reportedly from within the Rockstar San Diego offices. These leaks, shared via videos and images captured on mobile phones, have stirred significant interest in the gaming community, especially due to their apparent origins within the company's workspace.

They show an eerily empty office space, likely due to Rockstar's work-from-home policy, which was implemented at that time. The videos, though blurry, depict Dev kits for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Notably, the Xbox Dev kit bears the label "SAND" on the front, identifying it with the San Diego office.

Some fans speculate that while the devs were working remotely, security staff or cleaners, who still had access to the office, may have powered on the monitors, revealing footage of the game in development.
