The Rumour Ledger, Ed. 13: What Moved This Week (October 3 to 9, 2026)

Rockstar has named six GTA 6 radio stations, and radio and podcasts play on foot through the in-game phone. New this week, Confirmed. Rockstar’s Newswire post of October 8 names Flash FM, Back Country Radio, Cocoteo FM, The Chamber 106.6, AfroBank FM and Dirty South Classics, and Rockstar gave each station its own post on X the same day. On October 9 it posted two new singles from GTA 6: The Album, “Suzuki” by Fuerza Regida and “Don’t Chart” by Cardi B. Hosts, genres and the podcasts are in our report: GTA 6 radio: six stations named, podcasts added. Moves on: Rockstar publishing the full station list or a tracklist.

Cyberleek posts about 25 minutes of GTA 6 footage, October 8. New this week, Unverified. The leaker behind August’s clips is back with a longer run, from a build whose age is unknown. In it Jason drives in first person, Jason appears fully nude in the open world, Lucia is in a bikini for her section, a dirt-biking sequence opens with a cutscene, and a tank is spawned beside a body of water. Rockstar has not confirmed a first-person mode for launch and has not responded to this leak; its only statement on the leaks remains the August 26 card. Checked in house. Moves on: Rockstar or Take-Two acknowledging the footage, or a takedown filing that names it. Our earlier coverage: Rockstar’s statement on the August leaks.

The October 8 video ends with Cyberleek asking viewers for money for a new project. New this week, Unverified. The closing text reads: “Cyberleek has a project. Not Rockstar related. Gaming related. It needs expensive hardware,” and later, “What is collected goes to the project.” The leaker has not said what the project is, and no wallet or payment route has been traced to it. Moves on: the leaker naming the project, or a court filing that traces the money.

The wallet that created the $CYBERLEEK token collected over $200,000 in trading fees and sold them on August 27. Moved: Possible to Likely. PC Gamer reported the cash-out on August 27 and linked the transactions, which we have read on Solscan. The wallet beginning Hok9 minted one billion $CYBERLEEK on August 15, the token Cyberleek promoted in the leak videos. At 07:27 UTC on August 27 the same wallet claimed its fees from the token’s Raydium liquidity pool, 1,442 SOL and 15.5 million $CYBERLEEK, and 43 seconds later swapped the $CYBERLEEK for SOL. PC Gamer put the total at over $200,000 at the time; the token fell about 40% afterwards. Cyberleek has not named the wallet as theirs, which keeps this at Likely. Moves on: Cyberleek acknowledging the wallet, or a court filing that ties it to them.

The leaker holds a playable build of GTA 6. Moved: Unverified to Likely. Tracked since Edition 6, when an early clip showed bullet holes spelling LEEK shot into a wall. The October 8 video is about 25 minutes of continuous play: a dirt race, a first-person drive and a tank spawned beside water. VGC suggests the tank came from a cheat code or a hack, and either needs the game running. VGC also says parts could be manipulated, and nothing in the video dates the build. Moves on: Rockstar or Take-Two characterising what was taken, or a court filing that does.

GTA 6 has a first-person camera when driving. New this week, Possible. In the October 8 footage, which we checked in house, Jason drives in first person; no first-person walking is shown. The build’s age is unknown, and a debug camera can look like a player-facing mode. Rockstar has not confirmed a first-person mode for launch. GTA 5 added first person only with its 2014 re-release. Moves on: Rockstar showing or naming the mode.

GTA Online pays 3x GTA$ and RP on Halloween Survivals and 2x on Bail Office and Dispatch Work through October, and this week’s Weekly Challenge is two Adversary mode wins for GTA$100,000. Rolling, Confirmed. The Halloween Survivals include Ludendorff Cemetery, Cayo Perico and the Alien Survivals, at 6x for GTA+ members. Completing every October Weekly Challenge, the last running October 29 to November 4, pays an extra GTA$2,000,000. GTA+ members can claim a Pegassi Oppressor in the Skulls livery free this week. Moves on: next Thursday’s Newswire post. Full breakdown on our money hub.

Crimson Desert’s Charting the Unknown expansion moved from October 15 to October 29. Re-entered, Confirmed, date moved. Entered Confirmed in Edition 8 with the October 15 date. Pearl Abyss moved it to October 29 in a notice on September 30; Edition 12 linked our article but did not log the move, and the claim had dropped out of the ledger after Edition 8. Not GTA. Moves on: Pearl Abyss changing the date again, or the expansion shipping. Our Crimson Desert hub carries the date.

An Ape Escape revival is in development at Evening Star, the studio formed by Sonic Mania veterans. New this week, Possible. Not GTA. Jeff Gerstmann said on his podcast that he first heard it around February at DICE, and called it “not necessarily the most corroborated, multiple-source thing”. VGC says its own sources match his account. Sony had not responded to VGC’s request for comment at publication. Moves on: a Sony or Evening Star announcement, or Sony comment either way.

Sony is transferring VR patents to Meta, with 43 recorded at the USPTO so far and a deal reported to cover more than 400 worldwide. New this week, Likely. Not GTA. ZDNet Korea reported the transfers from US Patent and Trademark Office records, and VGC relayed them: 43 recorded so far under an agreement signed in December 2025, eventually covering 180 US patents and 239 filed elsewhere. Neither Sony nor Meta has commented, and neither has said Sony is leaving PlayStation VR. Moves on: reading the USPTO assignment records ourselves, or a statement from Sony or Meta.
